3rd edition of the Salon des Nouveautés: an annual event that is essential for coating professionals

With nearly 800 attendees gathered for this edition, the Salon des Nouveautés has established itself in just a few years as a must-attend event for the Coatings industry. It offers professionals the opportunity to preview innovations and new products, as well as the 2025 decor trends. A true platform for exchange, it brought together suppliers, specifiers, and POINT.P employees, thus fostering dialogue and synergies within the ecosystem.

A decorative offering redesigned to meet the requirements of individuals

Today, customers are looking for greater product diversity, aesthetic and technical innovations, more sustainable solutions, and improved product availability. To meet these expectations, POINT.P has redesigned its offering to effectively support individuals in their development and renovation projects.

The ARTE DECO private label, featured in this edition, offers a wide range of decorative solutions combining aesthetics, technical requirements, and good value for money. In addition, a refined selection of products from the brand's industrial partners covers all the needs of individuals, from floor to wall, in all styles and materials.

This approach allows POINT.P to position itself as a benchmark player, capable of anticipating developments and offering expert and personalized support.

Among the new features for 2025:

• QODDA vinyl blade for its imitation tile joint;
• QUINOA vinyl blade for its imitation tile joint;
• ROCKNEST from the CENTURY brand;
• ENYA from the COLORKER brand.

A show punctuated by three highlights around trends and innovation

This edition was marked by conferences led by Peclers, a trend consulting agency, which shed light on the major developments in key finishes and materials such as marble looks, stone effects and concrete with warmer tones, terracotta, zelliges and 3D effects on tiles for even more realism.

The intervention of Emmanuelle Rivassoux, interior designer, also allowed us to explore the 2025 decor trends.

Another key moment of the Show is the Industrial Trophies Evening, organized on March 19, 2025. The opportunity for POINT.P to reward innovation and quality of service through two distinctions:

• The 2025 Best Product Award, awarded to RAGNO for its Realstone Travertino 60x120 cm floor tiles, renowned for their natural stone effect;
• The Best Commercial Support Award, awarded to FINCIBEC.

This 3rd edition of the Salon des Nouveautés allowed POINT.P to present its offerings and latest innovations to key players in the coatings industry. On this occasion, the new "My Home Selection" and "My 2025 Trends Book" catalogs were unveiled. They will help customers achieve success with all their development and renovation projects.

Beyond the collections and trends highlighted, POINT.P continues to accelerate the digitalization of its services to offer an ever more fluid and immersive experience. First, with the Showroom Portal, which allows professionals and individuals to efficiently prepare their projects before their showroom visit. Second, with the Magic View tools and Video Appointments, which facilitate projection and decision-making thanks to advanced visualization solutions and personalized remote support.

For Bertrand ALARD, Marketing Director of POINT.P: "The Salon des Nouveautés has become an essential event for all POINT.P showroom experts. It's a space for discussion and inspiration that fosters innovation and networking. Our ambition is twofold: to be a leading player for individuals with projects and the preferred choice of specifiers. In this way, we give our employees all the tools they need to effectively support each client in their choices."

For Jean-François LAMAISON, Market Manager at ARTE DECO: "This New Products Show was a real success, and we're delighted! Especially since this year, we've stepped up our product listings through a CSR approach by relocating to France and Europe, with the aim of helping our industrial partners develop eco-responsible products."

For Emilie DESNOYER, Consultant at Peclers Paris: "We are very pleased to have contributed to the event, a privileged place of exchange offering cross-examinations on the technical and aesthetic innovations of 2025. The Show and our collaboration with ARTE DECO are an opportunity to provide a source of inspiration to better anticipate and adapt to changes in lifestyles and housing, to offer desirable products, in line with the needs of individuals."
