From September 10 to 19, 2026, Maison&Objet is organizing its traditional Paris Design Week. For ten days, the capital's galleries, museums, and showrooms come together to showcase France's central place in the design world.

It's one of the capital's most unmissable artistic events: from September 10-19, 2026, Paris Design Week is back. The perfect opportunity to bring together enthusiasts and over 500 design professionals in the showrooms and galleries of four iconic neighborhoods: Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Marais, Opera and Bastille. Here's a preview of the works you'll be able to discover in the capital. 


5 must-see installations at Paris Design Week 

An olfactory installation in the garden of the Victor Hugo House 

Art isn't just something we admire with our eyes. It can engage our different senses, particularly our sense of smell, as Lucas Huillet, designer and architect, does with

inside, and Alexandre Helwani, perfumer and perfume historian. For Paris Design Week, the two men interweave their two practices with a narrative inspired by texts from Victor Hugo.

Address: 6 Pl. des Vosges, 75004 Paris


The Tempest at the Arc de Triomphe 

Jérémy Pradier-Jeauneau is back at the PDW this year and the Arc de Triomphe is his blank canvas. He presents an exhibition that plunges us into pure fiction and punctuates the climb to the top of the monument with artworks.

Adresse: Pl. Charles de Gaulle, 75008 Paris


Cintres et Paravents, un vestiaire mobile à la Caserne des Minimes 

Marie-Ange Guilleminot s’invite à la Caserne des Minimes pour faire découvrir son exposition gratuite Cintres et Paravents, un vestiaire mobile. Pour l’occasion, elle réinvente ces objets du quotidien pour leur donner une tournure des plus singulières. 

Adresse: 75003 Paris


Le Grand Bouquet au Grand Palais

Julien Sebban met des fleurs dans nos vies, et en l’occurrence, c’est au Grand Palais qu’il fait éclore un Grand Bouquet d’ampleur, autour duquel il sera possible de s’asseoir.

Counterpoint at the Bourdelle Museum

Meet up in the 15th arrondissement to discover the work of designer Anthony Guerrée. By combining materials — wood, glass, textile — and forms — fragments, prototypes, and more —, he creates a dialogue between sculpture and design while perfectly complementing the museum's atmosphere.

Address: 18 Rue Antoine Bourdelle, 75015 Paris
