Vintage Design Fair in Paris: Undesignable Market returns for a new edition this weekend

Decor enthusiasts are in for a treat! Undesignable Market is hosting its 26th edition of the vintage furniture fair on Sunday, March 29, 2026. Set between the Jardin des Plantes and the Île Saint-Louis, this new wave design market invites all decor lovers and curious browsers to a trendy shopping stroll, in the unique arty spirit of the Left Bank of Paris. Located along the quays, just a stone’s throw from the Sorbonne and close to some of the most iconic sights of the Left Bank, this event — organized several times a year with typically two editions in Paris — offers something for seasoned thrift hunters as well as leisurely Sunday walkers. 

Undesignable Market is a free and open-to-all event — a notable point that sets it apart from its Belgian counterpart, Brussels Design Market, as well as from the Vintage Fair in Paris, both of which charge an entry fee. Here, visitors are welcome to browse and hunt for treasures without purchasing a ticket. On-site, over 60 exhibitors from France and across Europe showcase a curated selection of 20th-century design furniture and objects, featuring iconic names like Jean Prouvé, Pierre Paulin, Pierre Guariche, Cees Braakman, Friso Kramer, Arne Jacobsen, Charles & Ray Eames and many others.

Each edition offers the perfect opportunity to wander through the booths and discover a treasure trove of finds, from iconic design pieces to more understated but equally covetable decorative objects. In short, the most legendary furniture, along with the latest trendy items — many of which you've probably already bookmarked on your Pinterest board — are likely to be there. The outdoor market is set in a charming environment, ideal for strolling, socializing, and indulging in a bit of impulsive shopping for the perfect lamp or armchair.
