Year after year our Maison&Objet booth keeps on growing, the number of European mid-century Originals we bring along keeps expanding. Yet the 2025 edition marked our first time ever selling out on multiple categories, namely drinking glasses, glass jars and glass flasks.

A world of colorful Glassware

A couple thousand colorful drinking glasses gathered over the past few months mostly in Italy! This category has been growing at a fast pace and comprises many different shapes, sizes and styles. With pieces as old as the 1920’s and as recent as the mid 1980’s this collection is indeed wild and surprising. But this is only one of 12 huge glass product families we are presenting at this year’s show.

Shimmering Crystal and clear Glass

An entire wall was dedicated to clear glass and crystal sourced throughout Europe. This range of products comprises many Italian, Hungarian, German and Scandinavian mid-century objects ranging from flower vases, to decanters to Bavarian candle holders and Swedish tea-light holders, but also bottles, cups, footed bowls, lidded boxes and more.

More and more mid-century glass Objects

All four walls on the inside of our stand were dedicated to XX century glass products: colorful vases and jugs, cake stands, heavy ornamental ashtrays and more utilitarian objects such as flasks and a wide selection of apothecary glass (both clear and amber).

A themed collection of Spheres

During the course of 2024 we noticed our Art Director was using more and more spheres in her compositions so we started buying them massively. We cannot tolerate to hinder her creativity! Mid –century Italian bocce and French Petanque balls,  billiard balls, juggling balls, medicine balls, silica spheres used in the ceramic industry to grind pigments, natural stone and more. A new collecting theme is officially born.

Massive compositions of Unique Objects

Over the years we have become more and more involved in custom projects, some very large involving the temporary or permanent interior decoration of entire buildings. The increasing number of project is determining a faster turnover in unique objects which we are now acquiring at an incredibly quick rate. The same goes for our early to mid century books which Corina likes to pair with unique objects for these compositions.

Ornamental Metalware like never before

Stemming from our research of unique items: a whole new category of metal vases – which already counts six sub-families – and an expanded range of candle holders, now including both older and newer specimens (from the late 1800’s to the mid 1980’s) and different styles, such as brutalist and post modern. Within the world of ornamental metal ware we are also presenting teapots, raisers, trays and underplates.

Over 200 new Bespoke Products

Backside Stories, Frameforks and Gilded Fragments freshly composed for the event, using only European mid century materials.

Il Collezionista by Simone Luschi

In 2024 Simone Luschi made “Il Collezionista” (The Collector) for All’Origine. It is a large sculptural object in the shape of a human head. It is meant to be used to display evolving collections of colored glassware, ceramics, books, and anything the final owner will have at hand. We would have loved to be able to keep it at the showroom at least a few months to document it’s evolutions: Simone Luschi and Corina Jucan were both ready to work on it.
But “Il Collezionista” ended up selling on the week of its debut. Below you can see it paired to a collection of clear glass and orange ceramics. At this link you can admire it in combination with mid century amber glass vessels.
