Around the Luxembourg Gardens, Creativity Flourishes

From 10 to 19 September 2026, Paris Design Week invites visitors to wander through the streets surrounding the Luxembourg Gardens and discover a curated selection of inspiring destinations. Some newly opened, others long-established icons, each address promises a surprise on Paris's Left Bank.

At 38 rue Madame, Victoria Wilmotte unveils Blue Chrome. Furniture, lighting and architecture engage in dialogue within an environment conceived as a work of art in its own right. The installation is built around a deep blue floor, almost Klein blue, which serves as the project's visual anchor.

The textured chrome-plated steel of the pieces captures the light and returns it in subtle vibrations. Mirrors and Murano glass extend this interplay of reflections and visual transitions. The installation is presented alongside Wilmotte's latest collaboration with Ruinart, the world's oldest champagne house.

In a different aesthetic universe, Marie Daâge, at 12 rue de Tournon, creates refined, bespoke tableware in fine Limoges porcelain, hand-painted and available in customised colour palettes. Her exceptional showroom showcases her latest collection, Vendôme Flamboyante, now presented in a new chromatic range. The collection offers a contemporary interpretation of Flamboyant Gothic through the intricate motifs of its decorative borders, subtly reimagining traditional ornaments such as the mouchette, cabbage leaf and acanthus leaf.

This year marks a milestone for L'Atelier du Vin, which celebrates its 100th anniversary with the opening of a new Paris showroom at 80 rue Bonaparte. Home to an integrated creative studio, L'Atelier du Vin supports its predominantly international clientele—70% of whom come from abroad, through the design of bespoke wine cellars and the creation of distinctive wine accessories crafted from noble materials. Both decorative and functional, these beautifully designed objects enhance the table setting while elevating the wine-tasting experience.

Throughout Paris Design Week, the showroom will also host a series of dedicated workshops.

Just a few steps away, at 32 rue Monsieur Le Prince, ceramic artist Karen Swami opens the doors of her studio to present a collection of objects that sits at the crossroads of craftsmanship and a refined sense of classicism. Created exclusively for Paris Design Week, the selection explores the theme of repair and restoration, culminating on Sunday with a live wheel-throwing demonstration, where clay is brought vividly to life.

Above the canopy of Place de la Sorbonne, at 1 Rue de Vaugirard, Fleur Delesalle unveils a world where furniture breaks free from fleeting trends to celebrate pieces that have become iconic. The HUG sofa, the DAYLILY table, and a selection of iconic creations come together to form an evocative landscape, where neoclassical lines meet a gentle and distinctive modernity. Also worth discovering is a new variation on the NEMESIS side table, presented in three sizes and in new colors.

Combining poetry, generous forms, and an eye for detail, Fleur Delesalle designs an interior where each piece invites you to slow down, contemplate, and inhabit the space with a sense of lightness.
