The professional fair for innovative materials and exceptional craftsmanship for architecture, design, and contemporary creation
Les rendez-vous de la matière by FORMÆ is the leading event dedicated to materials, craftsmanship, and innovations for architecture, design, interior decoration, and spatial planning. Each edition brings together manufacturers, industrial producers, artisans, designers, and specifiers united by a common ambition: to explore new material expressions and the solutions shaping the spaces of tomorrow.
A unique positioning
The fair stands out through its unprecedented dialogue between exceptional materials and industrial solutions, fostering encounters between creators and producers. This distinctive approach generates strong synergies across professional networks and offers a high-value experience for specifiers and creative professionals: architects, designers, decorators, scenographers, and design agencies.
A forward-looking 12th edition
On October 8–9, 2026, at the Carreau du Temple, an emblematic venue in the Marais district of Paris, the 12th edition of les rendez-vous de la matière by FORMÆ reflects a rapidly evolving market where the boundaries between architecture, design, and creative disciplines are increasingly blurred. More than ever, the creative process begins with material: exploring, transforming, elevating it. Across nearly 2,000 m² of exhibition space, the fair provides a platform for experimentation, encounters, and inspiration for all professionals involved in design and material innovation.
