Designer of the Year
In another sign revealing the importance of including more sustainability in design and our homes, this edition of the show was led by Belgian designer Lionel Jadot, who is based in Zaventem near Brussels and was awarded Designer of the Year by Maison & Objet. This title recognizes a remarkable career, marked by an inventive and committed approach ever since he began working in the family factory at the age of 18.
Supported by a collective of local designers who are fully on board with this process, Jadot showcased his working methods through scenography entitled What’s New? In Hospitality. His inspiring hotel suite highlighted the use of sustainable materials, recycling and upcycling.
“Each object or material used in this project has already had another life traced back to other projects we’re currently working on in the hospitality sector,” he says.
