Design. From 10 to 19 September, Paris Design Week 2026 takes over iconic districts such as Le Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Opéra and Bastille, activating galleries, showrooms, schools and heritage spaces across the capital. Born as a spin-off of Maison & Objet, it’s arguably grown into the month’s most influential fixture on the design calendar — and this year’s edition doesn’t disappoint.

Virtuoso of wood and form Joseph Walsh is this year’s guest of honour at Paris Design Week 2026, taking over the orangery, gardens and main courtyard of the Hôtel de Sully. His ash sculptures curve and coil against gravity itself. “I wanted to confront free movement with the perfect geometry of the Hôtel de Sully,” he explains — 5 Place des Vosges, Map.
Pierre Renart’s Urban Poetry

Over at the Hôtel de Rohan Archives Nationales, Maison Parisienne has handed the reins to Pierre Renart, who’s carved poetic urban furniture from Moabi wood, drawing on the garden’s scrollwork. You don’t just look at it; you sit inside its logic – 11 rue des quatre Fils, Map.
Uchronia’s Floral Takeover of the Grand Palais
Visual by Uchronia.
Uchronia’s Julien Sebban fills the Rotonde d’Antin at the Grand Palais [Map] with Le Grand Bouquet — a floral-inspired installation that plays off the venue’s historic décor. Part architecture, part immersive set design, it unfurls a spectacular bloom that steers the eye through the space. French craft houses lent a hand in bringing it to life – proof that Paris Design Week 2026 isn’t afraid of theatre.
The Arc de Triomphe, reimagined

Jeremy Pradier-Jeauneau‘s La Tempête – The Storm, in French – sends visitors on an immersive climb from base to summit of the Arc de Triomphe, offering a fresh read on the monument’s history and architecture along the way – Place Charles de Gaulle, Map.

Claire Renard and Jean-Sébastien Blanc wrap the July Column at Place de la Bastille [Map] in La Re-prise de la Bastille, an installation stitched entirely from clothing recovered through Refashion‘s recycling network, with the Festival du Monde. It leans into the site’s revolutionary weight to make a plain argument for textile reuse — activism dressed as sculpture.
