A deco detour

The British textile studio will unveil its 2026 edit of upholstery and drapery textiles at an immersive takeover of Maison Fleuret, a chic Parisian cafe with a baking school on the left bank. The brand’s co-founder and creative director James Gomez has conceived a collection of 13 textiles spanning plains to bold patterns in abstract and geometric forms and in yarns that shift from soft sheers to dense velvets, bouclés and weaves.

GP & J Baker x Kit Kemp
Designer Kit Kemp’s wonderfully eclectic second collection for GP & J Baker is unveiled at an all British affair in Paris. The ensemble encompasses eleven statement prints and embroideries, five artisanal, woven striped fabrics in 31 colours, a coordinating rustic textural plain fabric in twelve colourways, and seven new decorative wallpapers in 38 colours, alongside a plain fabric-like wallpaper in 25 shades. Designs spanning both fabrics and wallpapers include Roar Stitch, a cross-stitch pattern featuring lion motifs intertwined with flowers and birds; and Marigold, inspired by the brand’s archive damask, depicting reimagined acanthus leaves and daisy flowers as a modern large-scale chintz. Kemp also pays homage to block printing designs in the archive in collections such as Compass, a fusion of geometric and stripe motifs and Forget Me Not, inspired by an archive document from 1929, fusing Bauhaus rigour with the delicacy of bluebells and forget-me-nots.
Haydn Von Werp
American designer von Werp, whose work fuses historical research, art and design has conceived Arcus, a new furniture collection of elegant architectural pieces – a daybed and tables – in wood and stone. The silhouettes reference Art Deco and Italian Futurism but von Werp's primary intention was to explore what remains when architecture is stripped down to its essence.

Durazzo Gallery and Mehdi Dakhli
The Paris art gallery opened by art dealer Raphael Durazzo in the Matignon-Saint-Honoré district of Paris is a showcase for the great Surrealist painters, particularly women, as well as renowned post-war artists. It is currently hosting Leonor Fini: Théâtres Imaginaires, a survey of Fini's artistic world, focussing on her painting, set/costume design and illustrations as elaborate, theatrical spectacles filled with powerful female figures, dreamscapes, eroticism and mythological beings. In line with this show, the gallery is presenting work by the designer Mehdi Dakhli for the first time in the exhibition La Leonor, in which Dakhli draws inspiration from one of Fini's ink drawings to create a previously unseen design piece bearing her first name. Dakhli’s work, which has an anthropomorphic quality – from a chair with the spikiness of a backbone to tables with elongated legs – is an expression drawn from diverse cultural histories blended with contemporary aesthetics, intended to make one feel and think.

Sceners Gallery
Located on an ordinary street behind an unassuming door next to a discounted supermarket, this gallery is a revelation. It opens into a minimal loft, the bones of the building exposed, where collectible design is presented in fascinating contemporary vignettes. These striking juxtapositions are highlighted by its current exhibition Les Nuits Miroirs (from 6.30pm, running until March), where diverse pieces from different periods by masters such as Carlo Bugatti, Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser and Jean Dunand are shown in close proximity revealing synergies in the works.

A must-see on rue de l'Abbaye, the Belgian wallcoverings brand is known for its imaginative approach. Amongst the new collections on show this year is Zephyr – a design capturing the graceful movement of wind and cloud formations in sweeping expressions across textural materials: from natural sisal to velvety suede, and shimmering metallic foil, each rendered in a palette of earthy and airy tones.

Little Greene
The British paints and wallpaper brand’s sixth collection with the National Trust aptly named In the Garden is revealed at its rue Bonaparte showroom (and is officially available from 19th January, priced from £122–£272 per roll). Each design, which is inspired by the formal gardens, grounds, horticultural collections, individual plants and historical floral artefacts overseen by the Trust, conveys a story. May’s Tulip is an arts and crafts scrolling floral by William Morris’s daughter May; the mural Castle Garden depicts the “garden rooms” at Sissinghurst in Kent; and Mr Straw’s Greenhouse is inspired by a modest collection of cacti belonging to a beloved 1930s grocer in Nottinghamshire. A contribution from the sale of every roll of the brand's wallpaper is made in support of the National Trust’s work; it oversees 500 properties, gardens and nature reserves, 890 miles of coastline, historic sites, 250,000 hectares of countryside and green spaces.

Samuel & Sons
There is a British sensibility to Ashton, a new passementerie collection by the fine trimmings specialist, which is informed by Savile Row tailoring and the charm of country estates. The collection of borders, cords and fringes unfolds in a palette evocative of England's stone manors, rolling hills and fields. Colourways include Heathcliff Brown: a grounding mix of rich earthen browns, beige and ivory, conjuring moorland soil, aged leather, and the patina of wood; Verdant Moor, combining earthen greens, loden and ivory, is reminiscent of shaded woodland paths; and Saville Navy, teaming navy with beige, ivory, and a subtle crimson accent, recalls academic robes and naval heritage. Selected in materials such as lambswool, the new borders include Houndstooth, Diamond, Striped, Braided Gimp and Blocked Fringe designs.

This year, at Paris’s Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche department store, a standout piece from that collection – the S10 Intarsia armchair – is presented as a limited edition with original upholstery reinterpreted in a new colour palette.
