Events

An extension of the MAISON & OBJET trade fair, Paris Design Week provides an international ground to young and blooming talent in design. Featuring everything from furniture and home décor to fashion, art and even gastronomy, it invites the mass to explore the year’s newest collections and prototypes. Organized across Paris at venues including some of the city’s premier exhibition spaces (art galleries, museums and cultural institutes, like La Maison Rouge, 104 and the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature) as well as concept stores and even hotels and restaurants, the week-long design ‘itinerary’ is free of charge, inviting the public to discover the year’s newest collections and prototypes taking a broad-based view of design and its various aspects.

Late-night openings, debates and installations bring the city to life, echoing the new releases for autumn and kicking off the pre-holiday sales period. This latest edition intends to forge even stronger and broader ties between those involved in Parisian design, but also to strengthen the event’s technical dimension with the creation of the Projects special itinerary.
