Maison&Objet latest 2022 design event to be postponed

Organisers of the Maison&Objet design fair in Paris have announced that its January event will be postponed until March due to a surge in coronavirus cases across Europe.

The upcoming edition of the bi-annual trade show was due to take place 18 to 22 January 2022 but it will now be held 24 to 28 March 2022.

It is the second time that Maison&Objet has been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, following the cancellation of its physical September 2020 event, which was replaced with an online edition.

Attendees "don't want their employees to take risks"

Organisers of Maison&Objet said the decision follows the "new wave of Covid, reinforced by the rapid expansion of the Omicron variant", which has seen a drop in registered attendees.

Additionally, new restrictions introduced by the French government to stem the transmission of the virus have limited numbers that can attend major indoor events.

"Impacted by this surge, many companies among the 1,700 companies that have confirmed they will attend, indicate that they don't want their employees to take risks and are now alerting to the disruptions they are experiencing in their operations," said a statement from Maison&Objet.
