Paris Design Week showcases craftsmanship in decorative arts
Paris Design Week – the 15th international showcase of design in Paris – is held from 4-13 September 2025. In synergy with Maison&Objet, the week is a big event on the European calendar. The week is for both professionals in design and those passionate about design.
The mission is to showcase creators in their natural environment with Paris as their backdrop.
The opening event attracted an unprecedented international audience with about 250,000 visitors exploring works from over 500 creatives along the event’s routes across four districts: Le Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Opéra, and Bastille.
The giant helium balloon seen at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the cauldron’s flame, made a return for the summer of 2025 and was introduced to illuminate the sky for Paris Design Week. Both were designed by Mathieu Lehanneur.
Celebrated for its legacy in decorative arts, Paris also celebrates fine craftsmanship this September, which also marks the 100th anniversary of the Art Deco movement.
