Flux Trends reviews Paris

Dion Chang has just returned from the September season of Maison & Objet (one of the major global decor & design fairs) as well as Paris Design Week. His Flux Trends presentation unpacks the major design themes emerging from the trade fair and how those trends are translating in real time retail in Paris.

The Flux Open Session provides insights gleaned from Maison & Objet that are focused specifically for retailers and businesses grappling with the new online/offline customer mind-set. It will be presented on 3 October 2012 in Cape Town and 4 October in Johannesburg. For booking and inquiries, email az.oc.sdnertxulf@ofni or go to www.fluxtrends.co.za.
