PAD Paris 2026
PAD Paris returns to the Tuileries for the 28th edition of this collectible art and design fair. The fair is on view between April 8-12, 2026.
PAD Paris opens its 28th edition on April 8rd at its iconic location in the Tuileries Garden. Bringing together 77 international galleries coming from as far away as Singapore, and as nearby as the 6th arrondissement in Paris, PAD Paris highlights the best in decorative arts, historic and contemporary design, jewellery, tapestries and contemporary art in a very intimate setting.
PAD Paris was one of the first design fairs of its kind – showing the connections between art, design and decorative arts within the context of collecting, with the best pieces on exhibit from each gallery. The event, founded in 1998 by Patrick Perrin, has continued to evolve over the years with its edition in London every October, and an ever-dynamic program that champions young artists and makers along with iconic figures of the design and decorative arts world.
This year, seventy-seven galleries will be exhibiting, with many from Europe, including Belgium, Italy, France and elsewhere. Each gallery presents their distinctive scenography and curatorial vision. A jury comprised of leading art and design world-figures, led by the President Laura Gonzalez and Presidents d’Honneur, Jacques Grange and Jean-Michel Wilmotte, will decide on three awards: Best Stand, Best Contemporary Design, Best Historic Design.
Some highlights include:
In celebration of its 10th Anniversary, Spazio Nobile, will present a special installation titled: Day Dream: Tous les chemins mènent à Rome, showcasing 21 artists of the gallery: Sébastien Caporusso, Pierre Charrié, Florence Coenraets, Marie Corbin, Vincent Fournier, Éva Garcia, Garnier & Linker, Eirik Gjedrem, Kaspar Hamacher, Pao Hui Kao, Åsa Jungnelius, Luis Marie Studio, Benoît Maire, Isaac Monté, Bela Silva, Ann Beate Tempelhaug, Joost van Bleiswijk, Kiki van Eijk, Quentin Vuong, Didi Ng Win Yin, Chisato Yasui.
Galerie Amélie du Chalard, in collaboration with curator Johanna Colombatti, will present a new chapter in its series dedicated to dialogues between art and design, featuring a reinterpreted reconstruction of Claude Monet’s studio on the occasion of the centenary of his death. Conceived as a contemporary mise en abyme, this scenography explores what the painter’s interior might look like today, blending contemporary creations, antique furniture, and the craftsmanship of French artisans, designers, and gallery owners.
Objects with Narratives presents Two and a Half Rooms, a group exhibition conceived specifically for PAD Paris 2026. The project takes the form of a spatial installation made up of two symmetrical rooms and a narrow corridor in between, literally creating “two and a half rooms” within the fair. The two main spaces are designed as familiar interiors: one reads as an office, the other as a living room.
Galerie Kreo will present contemporary works by Guillaume Bardet, François Bauchet, Ronan Bouroullec, Marco Campardo, Jean-Baptiste Fastrez, Front and Olivier Gagnère as well as exceptional vintage pieces by Robin Day, Tom Dixon, Elizabeth Garouste & Mattia Bonetti, Florence Knoll, Robert Mathieu, Pierre Paulin, Ernest Race and Gino Sarfatti.
Gallery Brazil Modernist, specialized in collectible Brazilian design, will present a selection of select historic pieces by Joaquim Tenreiro, José Zanine Caldas and Jorge Zalszupin contemporary pieces by Estudio Rain, Lucas Recchia and Nicole & Luiza Toldi.
Maison Integre will be exhibiting a series of bronze sculptures and objects made with the the foundry in Ouagadougou, Mali.
Studio Willy Rizzo will present a new collaboration with Scuderia Serenissima, a limited-edition collection that blends iconic design with the spirit of motor racing.
