This design season marks the inevitable need toexpress the desire for freedom. A freedom that translates into the need to assert oneself with carefully diverted choices of materials and hybrid forms, a precision of detail pushed to the extreme and a reassuring, more elementary return to basics.
A revisited heritage is emerging, with brands focusing on their DNA and reinterpreting great classics. Homes are becoming “fashionable”, expressing individual lifestyles through made-to-measure and modular solutions.
Printemps has chosen to interpret next season’s trends around three themes: Classic Excentric, with a focus on extravagance from across the Channel, Origins and New Artisan. To anchor its design expertise and pioneering know-how, Printemps is making its mark on timelessness with the Printemps Vintage Gallery, a timeless space offering a cutting-edge selection of original, one-of-a-kind pieces.

The eye of Stéphane Parmentier,
Design and Interior Editor at Printemps
“This is a time for reflection and differentiation. Today, it’s necessary to move forward and focus on what’s essential: the product. Eccentricity is about escape, detail and detour. It’s a way of asserting one’s principles, ideology and a certain degree of eclecticism. London Mania is a foretaste of freedom, an old-fashioned ambience, and products that are self-assured, delightfully kitsch and revisited. The trend is alive in the shapes, materials and functionality of the products. It’s also about genesis, ancestral know-how and a deep respect for nature. Design reflects self-expression through lifestyle. Vintage is an absolute passageway to self-affirmation. It’s the meeting of the exacting standards of experienced designers, with greater freedom than we dare today. It’s the search for the unique, for products with a soul that reflect an era.
