Ancient stones, modern lines... during Paris Design Week, the dialogue between heritage and creation comes into sharper focus. From September 10 to 19, 2026, the event invites design to take place in historic buildings, where each installation must balance with an existing architecture, light, a garden, or a view. The result isn’t just about a work or an object; it’s about a new way of seeing the venue that hosts it. A meeting that makes you eager to follow the designers as much as to rediscover some of Paris’s monuments.
Hôtels particuliers, cour d’honneur, orangeries ou bâtiments historiques offrent ainsi aux créateurs un cadre qui ne manque pas de caractère. Some extend the lines of the decor, others play with contrast, but the space is never neutral: it shapes the forms, the materials, the volumes and sometimes even the way people move around the works. That’s the whole point of these in situ installations, designed for a specific place rather than merely placed there. It’s a chance to view familiar addresses from a new angle, to discover more intimate spots, and to let centuries of architecture mingle with today’s design.
