Paris Design Week 2026 is back, bringing with it a celebration of inspiration, colour and an exciting programme of talks and showroom visits. Our Design Team headed to the City of Light for a week immersed in creativity, craftsmanship and fresh ideas.
From storied textile houses to exciting new launches, Paris is buzzing with design energy and we are delighted to be part of it.
After a swift Eurostar journey and time spent exploring the city’s charming streets, the team were treated to a truly special experience with a private tour hosted by Patrick Frey, owner of Pierre Frey. The visit offered an exclusive look inside the Pierre Frey studio, where we discovered the brand’s latest collection and gained insight into the artistry behind it.
The team then headed to the major retrospective exhibition of Gerhard Richter at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, where we explored more than six decades of his work. It was a compelling insight into the practice of an artist whose greatest joy has always been working in his studio.
Next, we attended the press preview of our latest collection of unique and colourful fabrics and wallpapers with GP & J Baker. Ann Grafton and Kit discussed the collection, uncovering the special stories and inspiration behind these captivating designs.
Seeing this special collaboration come to life was a particularly exciting moment. Playful patterns, bold colour and thoughtful detailing combine to tell a distinctive and joyful story, and it was a pleasure to experience it first hand.
We will be sharing a full round up of our favourite moments, discoveries and design highlights next week, so stay tuned.
