From 5th to 14th September, the 14th edition of Paris Design Week is the key to accessing the effervescent ecosystem of the artisans of paradise. Far from industry standards, they neither want not manage to fit into any mould. This culture of uniqueness is the breeding ground for the trends of tomorrow. Here, designers love nothing more than having a hand free to draw, shape, caress, or applaud. Hand in hand, interior designers and craftspeople create fabulous decors.
Paris puts style above fashion, which is what makes the city so popular around the world. Every year, new talents are revealed, and Paris Design Week Factory provides a springboard for even the most modest, often future greats.

Schools, creators, and cultural centres, all catalysts for talent, will converge to reveal the vast range of expressions in design. A number of venerable institutions are making their private mansions available for contemporary art. That’s the way it’s always been, and the way it always will be. Paris will always make time. Paris Design Week invites you to take a stroll, to catch the subtlety of its inspiration.
Locations:
– Rive Gauche: in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, take a stroll through galleries proposed by collectors, major creators, artists, artisans, and interior designers who also publish their own collections of exceptional furniture.
– Opéra / Concorde / Étoile: the flamboyant rive droite, home to great French tradition and international luxury.
– Marais / Bastille / République: the arty heart of the capital, home to young designers, contemporary collectible design galleries, and artisans.
– Palais-Royal / Place des Victoires / Pigalle: the new centre of attraction for all the latest and greatest, with fabric and carpet designers based in and around Rue du Mail.
