At the Tuileries, the PAD Paris Fair Celebrates Design with Elegance This Weekend

Aux Tuileries, le salon PAD Paris célèbre le design avec élégance ce week-end

The PAD Paris (Pavillon des Arts et du Design) returns to the Jardin des Tuileries, showcasing 75 French and international galleries specializing in vintage and contemporary collectible design. Highlights of the 2025 edition include the debut of Gallery Gaïa & Romeo with mid-century Italian ceramics, a contemporary reimagining of Claude Monet’s studio by Amélie du Chalard, and a strong focus on international female designers at Maria Wettergren. Parallel to the main fair, the third edition of the Sustainable Design Biennale is presenting plastic-free material innovations and eco-friendly furniture solutions.

As a premier event for high-end collectible design, PAD Paris serves as a vital barometer for the market, blending historical decorative arts with cutting-edge functional sculpture. The inclusion of the Sustainable Design Biennale underscores a growing institutional and commercial shift toward ecological responsibility in luxury interiors. By mixing established masters like Salvatore Meli with emerging talents like Abel Cárcamo, the fair reinforces Paris's position as a central hub for the global design trade.
