Paris Design Week

12 - 18 September '11

Paris

Paris’s vitality, the quality of its professional network, its design education, and its sparkling creativity and cultural environment make it a one-of-a-kind international focal point for attracting global talents in search of development and innovation opportunities in the design and lifestyle sectors.

With the goal of bringing together and federating those talents with a major annual event in the same spirit as the MAISON&OBJET trade show, SAFI is launching PARIS DESIGN WEEK, from Monday September 12 to Sunday September 18, 2011. Inspired by events held in London, Milan, Tokyo and Moscow, Paris is preparing to experience an international-scale event with an assertive identity, which includes trade events and ones geared for the general public.

PARIS DESIGN WEEK is both cultural and commercial, professional and consumer-oriented. It will bring together a hundred events, including the MAISON&OBJET international trade show, top-ranking design exhibits, new collection launches, round tables and debates, installations, studio visits, exceptional places and celebrations. These events will give the general public the opportunity to freely discover the facets of design where it resides: editors, designers, galleries, institutions, hotels, restaurants, etc. Whether you’re looking to learn, work or make work for others, PARIS DESIGN WEEK aims to satisfy everyone’s expectations.
