ANDMORE and The WSN Group announce strategic partnership to launch Shoppe Object Paris

This partnership brings together creative communities from North America
and Europe around a selective approach, enhancing the vibrancy of the
design and lifestyle sectors.

In a move set to strengthen ties between two major global design markets, ANDMORE, the largest owner and operator of premium tradeshow and showroom space in the United States, and The WSN Group, a leading European tradeshow organiser and subsidiary of The Comexposium Group, have announced an exclusive partnership. The collaboration will mark the international debut of Shoppe Object Paris, expanding the acclaimed New York-based home and gift show’s global footprint and curatorial vision.

According to both organisations, the alliance reflects a shared ambition to unite, support, and grow the progressive retail and design community by building stronger connections between New York and Paris—two of the world’s cultural epicentres.

“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,” said 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.”

As ANDMORE’s flagship design, lifestyle, and home tradeshow, Shoppe Object will collaborate closely with select WSN Group brands to create an immersive “show within a show,” offering new experiences for industry leaders, tastemakers, and media. The launch of Shoppe Object Paris signals a significant evolution for the brand—from a U.S.-based tradeshow to a global curatorial platform encompassing its in-person events, online marketplace, and now, European presence.

“The essence of Shoppe Object has always been to cultivate, grow, and celebrate a community of unique brands and makers from around the world,” said Jesse James, Shoppe Object founder and newly appointed Senior Vice President of Creative, Experience & Innovation at ANDMORE. “Working with The WSN Group will harness this spirit in new international markets while staying true to our DNA and shared passion.”

Frédéric Maus, CEO of The WSN Group, emphasised the synergy between the two organisations:

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

Founded in 2018, The WSN Group has steadily expanded across the fashion, lingerie, jewellery and design sectors with events tailored to the evolving needs of the creative industries. The group’s portfolio includes Première Classe (est. 1989), Who’s Next (est. 1994), Bijorhca, Salon International de la Lingerie, and Interfilière Paris, among others—each contributing to Paris’ reputation as a global hub for creativity.

In 2024, WSN launched Matter & Shape, bridging fashion, architecture, and design during Paris Fashion Week. This initiative evolved further with the debut of Who’s Next Home, spotlighting a new wave of lifestyle brands. Through its partnership with ANDMORE, WSN aims to build on this momentum, expanding its home and design offerings in line with changing retail dynamics and consumer lifestyles.

The premiere of Shoppe Object Paris represents not only a milestone for both organisations but also a broader evolution in the international design landscape—one where collaboration, curation, and community redefine the future of global trade events.
