Maison & Objet Rising Talent Awards 2019 Honor American Designers

This September, Parisian global design fair Maison & Objet is ready to celebrate America. The show will be taking place from September 6-10 in France, and will be spotlighting up-and-coming American designers during that time through the Rising Talent Awards.

Past Rising Talent Awards have honored emerging talents across China, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Lebanon. This year, event organizers said they have chosen the United States, “to shine the spotlight on a nation whose size and cultural diversity have led to impressive design achievements.”
