At Paris Design Week, the big names aren’t the only ones with a say. The event also serves as a springboard for a new generation of designers—recent graduates or early in their careers—who bring their ideas to the public. From September 10 to 19, 2026, their projects offer a pulse check on emerging creativity and reveal the questions already driving tomorrow’s design. New usages, formal explorations, experimentation, or revisited know-how... the goal is to glimpse what’s taking root.
