How to prospect and secure purchases at Ob’Art Paris 2026
Arrive with clear goals. Before the fair, shortlist ateliers that match your client base and prepare visual samples to compare quality and prices quickly. During the visit schedule short meetings with target exhibitors, prioritize pieces by margin and purchase conditions, and record dimensions and materials for follow up.
If you buy for a shop or an interior project, bring a purchasing dossier with your terms and visual references. For single purchases, negotiating and arranging packaging and logistics on site speeds up the process and reduces delivery errors.
