Two major industry players, Andmore, a Blackstone portfolio company and one of the leading owners and operators of high-end exhibition venues and showrooms in the US, and The WSN Group, are launching the Paris edition of Shoppe Object, the trade show for design, lifestyle, and home sectors. A preview of the trade fair took place in France as a guest at the Première Classe, held from October 3 to 6, 2025, in the Jardin des Tuileries, with an experiential, color-drenched object gallery and Shoppe Object Café. The official debut of Shoppe Object Paris will take place during Who’s Next at Porte de Versailles, from January 17 to 19, 2026.

This first international alliance for Andmore and Shoppe Object marks a new era of transatlantic synergies between North America and Europe through the cultural epicenters of New York and Paris, exemplifying a shared ambition: to unite, celebrate, support, and grow the progressive retail and design community.

Thanks to this international expansion, Andmore aims to broaden the company in its global markets. “We are thrilled to launch this business relationship and to center it around Shoppe Object’s distinct ability to curate the new, the next, and the never-before-seen,” stated Jonathan Pertchik, ceo of Andmore. “Our collaboration with The WSN Group perfectly illustrates the limitless possibilities when carefully considered companies with shared goals and mutual ideals come together to deliver the highest level of experience and opportunities to the industries we serve.”

“The essence at the core of Shoppe Object has always been to cultivate, grow, and celebrate a community of unique brands and makers from around the world, connecting them with the very best merchants and buyers at the forefront of retail,” said Jesse James, Shoppe Object founder and newly named senior vice president, creative, experience, & innovation for Andmore. “Working with The WSN Group will harness this spirit in new international markets, maintaining our heart as we work together to forge new connections with a true passion for discovery.”

The alliance solidifies The WSN Group's position in Europe, reinforcing its role as an essential platform for the creative industries by offering exclusive access to a captivating perspective not available through any other European show. At the same time, it expands Andmore and Shoppe Object’s presence further into the international market, broadening commercial prospects for their community of brands and buyers, all while fostering exchange, opportunity, and innovation.

“With Shoppe Object, we are joining forces with a leader who shares our values and vision: bringing together international creative communities,” commented Frédéric Maus, ceo of the WSN group. “Working with Shoppe is a decisive step in developing a cutting-edge curation of home universes that makes sense for the future of wholesale.”
