Created in 2010 by Maison&Objet, Paris Design Week aims to bring the city to life every September, raising awareness among the general public and professionals on the latest trends and thinkings in the world of design, decoration, and the art of living.

Organised in parallel with the Maison&Objet show, Paris Design Week is an opportunity to discover new things and meet people in showrooms, boutiques and galleries, as well as in institutions such as museums and schools. It is a meeting place for all those involved in design.

With a focus on emerging talents, Paris Design Week aims to be a springboard for young talents, giving them the opportunity to showcase their work in an exceptional setting, with the city as a backdrop. Thanks to temporary installations in the city's cultural venues that are created by designers and free of charge to all, Paris Design Week is also an opportunity for families, design lovers and the curiosity to experience Paris in a different light. Celebrated with vernissage evenings and talks, Paris Design Week puts conviviality and exchange at the heart of its programme, bringing together professionals and the general public to share the essence of design at the crossroads of commerce and culture.
