Les Rendez-Vous de la Matière 2026 in Paris: where to stay

Les Rendez-Vous de la Matière by FORMÆ returns for its 12th edition on 8–9 October 2026 at Le Carreau du Temple, a restored 19th-century covered market in the heart of Paris's Marais district. Across nearly 2,000 m² of naturally lit exhibition space, the fair brings together manufacturers, industrial producers, artisans, designers and specifiers around a shared ambition: to explore new material expressions and the solutions shaping tomorrow's spaces. The fair stands out for its unprecedented dialogue between exceptional materials and industrial solutions, fostering synergies between makers and producers. Architects, interior architects, decorators, scenographers and design studios find here a platform for experimentation, encounters and inspiration, supported by a rigorous exhibitor selection and a programme focused on specification and forward-looking design. The scenography for this edition is designed by Studio Pauline Leprince, creating an immersive sensory journey that reveals material textures and highlights the exhibitors' work. The fair reaffirms its role as a laboratory of inspiration where material becomes the starting point of every creative process.
