Sweet Salone at Maison & Objet Paris 2026

28.01.26

We kicked off 2026 with excitement, gratitude, and pride as Sweet Salone returned to Paris for our third showcase at the Maison & Objet Exhibition.From January 15th to 19th, 2026, we had the honor of once again presenting our unique collaboration of Sierra Leonean craftsmanship and Icelandic design on an international stage celebrated for creativity, innovation, and quality.Our booth became a vibrant space of culture, connection, and handmade beauty, where every piece reflected the skill, care, and heritage of Sierra Leonean craftsmanship.We were truly moved by the enthusiasm and warmth of every visitor, from long-time partners who continue to grow with us, to new friends discovering Sweet Salone for the very first time. Designers, retailers, creatives, and supporters stopped by to connect, share ideas, and celebrate the beauty of ethical craftsmanship.

Maison & Objet once again provided an incredible opportunity to strengthen relationships, spark new collaborations, and expand our reach to new audiences. Every conversation reminded us of the growing appreciation for handmade, sustainable, and culturally rich design across the world.As we reflect on this memorable experience, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the Maison & Objet organizers for creating such an inclusive and impactful platform that allows independent brands like ours to thrive internationally. We’re already looking ahead to our return in September 2026. Until then, we’re back in Sierra Leone, working closely with our artisans to create more products.
