PARIS DESIGN WEEK Status

Created by Maison&Objet in 2010, Paris Design Week was set up to generate a buzz across the French capital every September and help the general public and industry professionals make new design-led discoveries whilst raising their awareness of current thinking across the design, decor and lifestyle sector.  Punctuated by vernissages and talks, Paris Design Week places sociability and interaction centre stage, giving industry professionals and the general public the opportunity to come face to face and to share everything that constitutes the very essence of design where the worlds of commerce and culture meet.  Shining a light on rising talents, Paris Design Week serves as a springboard for up-and-coming designers, giving them the opportunity to exhibit their work against the stunning backdrop of the French capital.  Paris Design Week Factory – the event within the event and the place for young designers to showcase their talents – will run from 8–12 September in two venues: Espace Commine and Galerie Joseph, 7 rue Froissart.  Organised in parallel to the Maison&Objet trade fair, the Paris Design Week trail brings the entire design world together by promoting discovery and encounters, taking in showrooms, stores and galleries as well as institutions such as museums or design colleges.  Paris Design Week also gives families, design lovers and those with inquiring minds the opportunity to experience a different side to Paris via freely accessible installations that pop up in cultural venues across the city, specially created by designers.  Probably because Paris Design Week is the only design, decoration and art de vivre event of this size in Europe in September, there is a noticeably strong desire to fly the flag.  Follow Paris Design Week on social media.  From 08–17 September 2022, it’s time to dive into the latest in art and design, to have fun and bask in the pleasure of meeting up again.  New concept stores, staged window displays, vernissages, stores that deserve a detour, meet ‘n’ greets with designers, festive events...  A 10-day fringe event.
