A major free event in the capital, Paris Design Week offers a cross-disciplinary vision of design, from furniture design to graphic design, interior architecture and the decorative arts. A key meeting place for the curious in search of inspiration, designers unveil their projects at exhibitions, workshops and conferences. Conceived as a stroll between several venues to unearth new talent from all over the world, the exhibition features works by famous designers.
Paris Design Week is organised around four main routes through different Parisian districts.
Iconic Parisian landmarks such as the Hôtels de Soubise et de Sully and the Bibliothèque Historique de la Ville in Paris are also playing their part, unveiling original installations within their walls.
This week of exhibitions is also an opportunity to talk about the challenges of design, tackling themes such as short circuits and the environmental impact of the objects and materials used.
