On the eve of Maison&Objet, Wallonie-Bruxelles Design Mode is joining forces with FORMÆ to organise an exclusive dinner bringing together Belgian designers and Parisian stakeholders from the high-end and hospitality sectors. This is a unique opportunity to create synergies, develop partnerships and strengthen the international visibility of Belgian design in a friendly and inspiring setting.
This dinner, which will bring together around fifteen guests, aims to bring together companies and design studios from Wallonia and Brussels and Parisian specifiers (interior design and decoration firms) looking for high-end and luxury interior design products and solutions (in the hospitality sector, among others).
This exclusive networking event and celebration of Belgian design aims to develop new commercial partnerships and raise the profile of Belgian design among an international audience.
This event is part of the Maison&Objet trade fair (Paris, 15-19 January 2026), in which WBDM is participating by supporting a selection of entrepreneurs from Wallonia and Brussels on the Belgium is Design collective stand, in conjunction with Flanders District of Creativity.
