MATTER and SHAPE is a contemporary design fair launched in 2024 in Paris, held annually during the March Fashion Week in the heart of the Jardin des Tuileries. Conceived as a comprehensive and multidisciplinary platform, it highlights projects at the intersection of design, craftsmanship, interior architecture, and fashion.

MATTER and SHAPE stands out for its immersive scenography and its demanding curatorial approach, offering a unique experience to design and fashion professionals. 

In 2025, the second edition coincided with the centenary of the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts of 1925, paying tribute to the legacy of design while exploring contemporary trends. 

Formerly a virtual design platform, MATTER and SHAPE has established itself as a must-attend event for professionals seeking distinctive objects and inspiring collaborations at the crossroads of design and fashion.

Visitors

The event attracts an international audience of over 13,000 visitors, including architects, interior designers, stylists, journalists, and trend agencies, all gathered to discover exceptional pieces and build lasting connections.
