Paris Design Week: For the love of creative design

The atmosphere of a 17th-century mansion is given a jolt by the impertinent signature style of a young design studio. A world-renowned designer welcomes you personally to his showroom. A virtuoso outdoor installation sits magnificently in a historic garden. Artisans with the most gifted of hands reveal the secrets of their workshops on an exceptional basis. These are just some of the surprises that Paris Design Week has in store for its visitors. In parallel with Maison&Objet, this circuit offers a direct connection to the creative effervescence of the City of Light. Throughout a multitude of strolls along the streets of the capital, Paris Design Week brings together 450 venues, grouped into four major geographic zones, presenting a multifaceted vision of Parisian design. With its very own app, website, and guide, each visitor can forge their own path according to their specific areas of interest. Showrooms, boutiques, and galleries proudly present and compete to show off their creativity. Museums open their doors and host the world of contemporary design in a stunning dialogue with their own collections. Design sur cours offers exceptional pop-up installations in some of the most prestigious historic spaces. Major names in international interior design welcome you and present their furniture collections, which are usually reserved for an ultra-select clientele. In the Marais district, the exhibitions at Paris Design Week Factory give free rein to young, avant-garde designers, for a fresh perspective and a preview of tomorrow’s trends. “Enjoy!”, says this year’s theme shared by Maison&Objet and Paris Design Week. After exploring the aisles of the fair, evening opening parties offer many opportunities to connect and share. So, let’s head out into the Parisian night to celebrate! On September 7, 8, and 9, receptions are arranged by neighborhood: Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Place des Victoires, the Marais…By combining Maison&Objet and Paris Design Week, when it’s time to wrap things up, everyone will be able to say that they’ve not only marked off their entire to-do list, but also that their perspective has shifted, and they’ve touched the soul of Parisian creative design.
