Shoppe Object has made its European debut. WSN Group and Andmore, one of the leading owners and operators of high-end exhibition venues and showrooms in the US, are launching the Paris edition of Shoppe Object. Dedicated to design and lifestyle objects, the show made its first appearance in France as a guest at the Première Classe trade show, held from October 3 to 6 2025 in the Jardin des Tuileries, in the form of an object gallery and a Shoppe Object Café.

 
Shoppe Object Paris will stage its first full edition from 17 to 19 January 2026, within the Who’s Next trade show at Porte de Versailles. Conceived as a ‘show within a show’, the space will present a contemporary scenography blending tableware, furniture, accessories, and decorative objects. Launched in 2018, Shoppe Object has, until now, been held solely in New York.
 
“The essence of Shoppe Object has always been to cultivate, develop, and celebrate a community of unique brands and designers from around the world, connecting them with the best distributors and buyers at the forefront of retail,” said Jesse James, founder of Shoppe Object and Senior Vice-President of Creative, Experience and Innovation at Andmore. “Working with WSN Group will enable us to bring this vision to new international markets while staying true to our DNA and our shared passion.”

This launch strengthens WSN Group’s (a subsidiary of the Comexposium Group) new foothold in the design and objects sector. In 2024, the group launched the Matter & Shape show, forging a first link between fashion, architecture and design during Fashion Week. Last September, WSN followed up with the launch of Who’s Next Home.
 
This tightly curated selection of lifestyle brands will be further developed with Shoppe Object, in response to evolving expectations, retail environments and new ways of shopping for home accessories. “With Shoppe Object, we are partnering with a leader who shares our values and our vision: bringing together international creative communities,” says Frédéric Maus, CEO of WSN Group. “Working with Shoppe is a decisive step towards developing a distinctive editorial curation of the Home universe.”
 
For Andmore (a Blackstone portfolio company), this international expansion enables the company to broaden its presence in global markets. “We are delighted to launch this strategic collaboration: it attests to Shoppe Object’s unique ability to foster innovation, anticipate trends and deliver the unexpected,” said Jonathan Pertchik, CEO of Andmore. “Our partnership with WSN Group, founded on a shared vision, values and objectives, promises a premium level of experience and numerous opportunities for the sectors we serve.”
