Design Miami Paris 2026. I like a fair that makes you think about how you want to live.

For its fourth Paris edition, the fair returns to the Hôtel de Maisons, an eighteenth-century mansion whose rooms, courtyard and gardens give the presentations much of their character. Furniture has architecture to respond to. A lamp changes a corner; a table changes the proportions of a room. You begin imagining a life around the objects.

The appeal is in the range: twentieth-century furniture alongside contemporary design, ceramics, textiles, lighting and jewellery. There is pleasure in moving between periods and materials, seeing how an older piece can feel current and how a new work can draw on generations of knowledge.

Among the leading exhibitors are Galerie Patrick Seguin, Laffanour | Galerie Downtown, The A/P Room, Galerie kreo, Nilufar, Salon 94 Design, Side Gallery, Galerie Chastel-Maréchal, Galerie Maria Wettergren, Pierre Marie Giraud, Galerie Mitterand, Modernity and Morentz. Together, they offer a cross-section of the galleries shaping how collectible design is presented, understood and collected.

What draws me to this field is the attention it asks of us. The construction of a chair, the surface of a ceramic, the way glass holds light. These are things that reward time and proximity. Photographs can convey a silhouette, but scale, weight and texture are much harder to understand through a screen.

This is also a market in which rarity, provenance and reputation carry enormous weight. The interesting question is how much an object gives you once you look beyond the name attached to it. Does it change the atmosphere? Does it make you curious about how it was made? Would you want to keep looking at it for years?

For me, the strongest reason to collect design is that sustained relationship. We live with these things, move around them, use them and eventually pass them on. A good piece can become part of the way we remember a home.

🔥 PAD LONDON

⏰ October 13 — 18
📍 Berkeley Square, Mayfair

This booth was born from a simple conviction: The finest creations speak to one another across time, regardless of the era in which they were made.

With this presentation, Victor Gastou continues a line of inquiry pursued over several years — one centered on the codes of luxury and contemporary elegance. A search informed as much by the classicism of the great decorators of the 1930s as by the freedom of Italian radical design in the 1980s, with a constant determination to root that inheritance in the present.

Philippe Hiquily’s signature hammered brass meets an exceptional boiserie in oak wood, designed by Jean-Michel Frank for Guerlain, and presented by Féau Boiseries. Answering this ensemble is a piece by Ettore Sottsass for Poltronova, alongside works by Irene Cattaneo, whose organic vocabulary brings a distinctly contemporary resonance.

A table by Emmanuel Jonckers, combining raw black leather and engraved brass, also signals the emergence of a new decorative language — situated somewhere between sophistication and radicality. The ensemble is set beneath the gaze of Raymond Delamarre’s figures representing human knowledge, as a reminder of the enduring permanence of certain aesthetic values across time.

The “Gold Vortex” mirror by Beatrice Serre completes the ensemble, the marble and precious stones glimmering against the gold convex mirror in the center.

More than an assembly of works, this stand asserts a vision. One of a luxury that rests neither on accumulation nor on effect, but on the precision of dialogues. One of a sensibility capable of bringing Jean-Michel Frank, Sottsass, Hiquily, Delamarre, Jonckers and Cattaneo into coexistence — without hierarchy, without nostalgia.

Two more days to discover @padesignart in London’s Berkeley square, already a glorious edition.

Our hypersensitive FENNEC mascot, created at the Alousi foundry in Egypt , alongside our RA LOVERS lamp and PTAH console, have already attracted a beautiful tribe of admirers.

The original 1930s Jean-Michel Frank wood panelling, crafted by master woodworkers @feauboiseries , is a dream écrin for the works, alongside exceptional works by Irene Cattaneo, Philippe Hiquily, Emmanuel Jonckers , Béatrice Serre and Ettore Sottsass.

At the heart of the booth stand three statues by Art Deco master Raymond Delamarre, the original models for Les Connaissances Humaines. Installed high above the entrance of the Musée de l’Homme at the Place du Trocadéro in Paris, they are historical figures in their own right.

What a thrilling setting to inhabit.

Thank you @galerieyvesgastou 💫

Our latest project at @kellybehunstudio, featured in @wallpapermag.

A home centered around an extraordinary art collection. Loved bringing this vision to life, with each space creating a dialogue between art, design, and everyday life, including an incredible installation by Joana Vasconcelos.

Thank you, Ambassador Randi Charno Levine, for dreaming big with us! ❤️
