October 2-6, 2025, the Pavillon des Arts et du Design will once again take over the Tuileries Garden for its annual grand design fair. In a rapidly evolving market, this edition promises to be an essential meeting place for international collectors seeking exceptional pieces.
Under the white tent erected in the heart of Parisian heritage, PAD Paris perpetuates a winning formula: that of an intimate salon where collectible design dialogues with modern art and decorative arts. Founded by Patrick Perrin, this event has established itself as an elegant alternative to large commercial fairs, focusing on a strict selection of international galleries and an atmosphere conducive to discovery.
However, the 2025 edition will be more than just a continuation. The collectible design market is currently experiencing remarkable momentum, driven by the growing interest of new generations of collectors who now consider designer pieces as genuine art investments. This convergence between contemporary art and design profoundly transforms the face of the market, and PAD serves as its privileged observatory.
The very configuration of the salon, deployed in the Tuileries Garden near the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay, is not insignificant. It places collectible design within a cultural continuum, affirming its legitimacy within established collecting practices. Participating galleries present an eclectic panorama: from historical 20th-century design to the most daring contemporary creations, including photography and exceptional jewelry.
Now, PAD Paris is no longer just a transactional platform. It asserts itself as a major player in trend prescription, a meeting place for experienced collectors, industry professionals, and museum institutions. During this Parisian autumn cultural sequence, these five days of October consolidate Paris's position as the world capital of art and design, attracting an international clientele seeking authenticity and rarity. An edition that promises, once again, to redefine the contours of contemporary taste.
