ANDMORE, which operates trade shows and showroom space in the U.S., has partnered with The WSN Group, a leader of European trade shows and subsidiary of The Comexposium Group, to sign an exclusive agreement to extend Shoppe Object’s reach by expanding the home and gift show’s global footprint with the premier of Shoppe Object Paris.
The first international alliance for ANDMORE and Shoppe Object marks a new era of synergies between North America and Europe through the epicenters of New York and Paris, exemplifying a shared ambition to unite, celebrate, support and grow the retail and design community.
“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,” says 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.”
Shoppe Object, ANDMORE’s trade show for the design, lifestyle and home sectors, will work closely with The WSN Group brands to curate an immersive “show within a show” and engaging experiences for industry leaders.
“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,” says Jesse James, Shoppe Object founder and newly named senior vice president of creative, experience and 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.”
In anticipation of the debut of Shoppe Object Paris during Who’s Next at Porte de Versailles, Jan. 17-19, 2026, Shoppe Object will preview what’s to come as “Guest of the Season” for Premiere Classe, The WSN Group’s show for fashion accessories at Jardin des Tuileries during Paris Fashion Week Oct. 3-6.
“With Shoppe Object, we are joining forces with a leader who shares our values and vision: bringing together international creative communities,” says 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.”
The partnership solidifies The WSN Group’s position in Europe, while also expanding ANDMORE and Shoppe Object’s presence in the international market. Together, ANDMORE and The WSN Group events will welcome hundreds of thousands of professional visitors each year and facilitate engagement among designers, brands, buyers and distributors.
