Parella at the center of the 11th edition of Rendez-Vous de la Matière by FORMÆ
An unmissable event for those involved in creation and innovation.
On October 9 and 10, 2025, Parella participated in the 11th edition of Rendez-Vous de la Matière, organized by FORMÆ at the Carreau du Temple in Paris.
This exhibition, a veritable laboratory of creativity and innovation, has become in just a few years a benchmark event for architects, designers, artisans, luxury brands, and real estate developers seeking new inspiration.
With more than 100 selected exhibitors, an immersive setting designed by Pauline Leprince, and 7,000 professional visitors, the 2025 edition confirmed the fair's role as a leading platform for materials and contemporary design.
Contemporary design and "collectible design" in the spotlight
Among the most notable new features, FORMÆ inaugurated a space dedicated entirely to contemporary design and "collectible design," where young talents and established designers were able to discuss the creation of unique objects at the intersection of art and furniture.
This new sector is positioned as a privileged testing ground, reflecting the latest aesthetic and functional trends.
The FORMÆ Award: excellence rewarded
Another highlight of the fair: the first edition of the FORMÆ Award, chaired by Jean-Michel Wilmotte and Sébastien Maschino, showcased the most innovative projects.
- Premio Manufactura: awarded to Gwilen, founded in Brest by Yann Santerre, for its transformation of marine sediments into sustainable, low-carbon mineral material.
- Savoir-Faire Award: awarded to Ateliers SP by Élise Blouet-Ménard, for the contemporary reinterpretation of straw marquetry by designer Marianne Brisville.
- Design Award: awarded to Flos for SuperWire, a modular lighting collection designed by Forma Fantasma, combining technological innovation and timeless elegance.
The trophies, designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte and produced by COGITECH, perfectly symbolize the fusion of craftsmanship and avant-garde design.
Parella, in search of tomorrow's materials and emotions
Under the glass roof of the Carreau du Temple, Parella's teams explored the textures, materials, and shapes that will shape the workspaces of the future.
This immersion continued with the discovery of "Onze," a perfume for architecture created by Jean-Michel Wilmotte and Emmanuelle Grin, a true bridge between sensory design and spatial design.
This fair was a moment of collective inspiration for our architects, designers, and consultants, reinforcing our commitment to imagining sustainable, inspiring, and meaningful environments.
In conclusion: matter as a driver of transformation
Through curiosity, collaboration, and experimentation, we continue to redefine the way we conceive and experience professional spaces.
