Paris Design Week, the free event that sets the pulse of design and home decor, returns to turn Paris upside down from September 10 to 19, 2026. For ten days, acclaimed designers, emerging talents, and fresh trends take over the capital, sometimes in places you wouldn’t expect.
Paris shifts into open-air laboratory mode, with exhibitions, talks, workshops and artistic installations spread across roughly 400 participating venues throughout the city. It’s the kind of setup that makes you step through doors, hop neighborhoods, and stumble upon a good idea around the next corner.
The route also invites visitors to rediscover contemporary art galleries, designer showrooms, and pop-up spaces specially laid out for the occasion. Paris Design Week spans a wide creative spectrum, from furniture to the fashion, including interior architecture, decorative arts and graphic design.
More than a gathering for insiders, the event brings together professionals, curious minds, and design buffs hungry for fresh ideas. Paris Design Week 2026 promises a robust dose of inspiration in a capital that, on the design scene, prefers to set the tone rather than follow trends.
