At the heart of the fair is WELCOME HOME, the vision of Artistic Director Amelie Pichard. A celebrated fashion designer who thrives at the crossroads of disciplines, Pichard transforms the fair into an “open house” for everyone. Expect familiar objects given unexpected roles—a window as a painting, a watering can reinvented as a vase—proving that design thrives when it dares to challenge norms.

One of the biggest highlights? The brand-new Design District. Directed by the acclaimed Hall Haus collective in collaboration with Paris Design Week Factory, this dynamic hub champions emerging talent, young brands, and experimental ideas. It’s a space where boundaries blur, new voices rise, and cross-disciplinary creativity takes centre stage.

Within the Design District, the Rising Talents Awards spotlight the German avant-garde. Six designers bring bold, future-facing ideas deeply rooted in Bauhaus and Werkbund legacies. From Friedrich Gerlach’s biotech explorations with 3D-printed materials to Gabriel Tarmassi’s organic wooden sculptures, these projects embody innovation with a cultural conscience.

Meanwhile, Future On Stage continues to shine as a launchpad for visionary entrepreneurs. Among this year’s picks: Drobe, a suitcase that transforms into a wardrobe for effortless urban travel; Yüssée, a sensory journey through tasting boxes inspired by the five senses and Chinese traditions; and Hilo, a modular furniture brand redefining compact living without a single drill.
