Design Miami Paris has announced the highlights of the preview for its fourth edition, which will take place October 20–25, 2026, at L’Hôtel de Maisons, the 18th-century mansion located on the Faubourg Saint-Germain. The event will once again coincide with Art Basel Paris and will set aside October 20 for an invitation-only preview day.
The fair’s first preview hints at an edition marked by a dialogue between historical design and contemporary creation. More than twenty international galleries will present exceptional pieces and projects conceived around some of the major themes in contemporary collecting, ranging from French decorative arts and Scandinavian and Italian design to artist jewelry and sculptural works.
Among the historic names featured are Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne, Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Chareau, and Robert Mallet-Stevens. Galerie Mitterrand will present, among other works, an exceptional pair of Singes Attentifs and a Pomme de Londres by the Lalanne couple, while Laffanour | Galerie Downtown will bring together pieces by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Isamu Noguchi, and Charlotte Perriand. Galerie Maxime Flatry will dedicate its exhibition to French modernism of the 1930s.
The selection broadens its focus to include Nordic design, with the debut of the Swedish gallery Modernity and works by Frits Henningsen, Josef Frank, and Otto Schulz. Hostler Burrows will present September, a monumental hand-knotted rug by Louise Hederström, while Galerie Maria Wettergren will bring Jade, Gjertrud Hals’s recent textile and sculptural work, to Paris.
Artist jewelry will also have its own section. MiniMasterpiece will showcase a selection of wooden necklaces created by Luis Quesada in the 1960s and 1970s—never before exhibited in France—alongside the first piece of jewelry created by Franz Erhard Walther. Making her debut at the Paris fair, Elisabetta Cipriani will present Shared Grounds: Intimate Monuments, an exhibition exploring the relationship between the body and sculpture through works by artists such as Sheila Hicks and Sophia Vari.
Another highlight will be “Design at Large,” the program dedicated to large-scale works that will occupy the courtyard, interiors, and gardens of L’Hôtel de Maisons. Among its most significant pieces is Jean Prouvé’s 1944 Maison Démontable 6×6, presented by Galerie Patrick Seguin, alongside contemporary installations by Pierre Renart, Cyryl Zakrzewski, Irene Cattaneo, and Gianluca Pacchioni.
The program will be rounded out by a new edition of Designers of Tomorrow, an initiative launched by Design Miami and Apple that this year revolves around the concept of “Design for Presence.” Four designers selected by an international jury will incorporate Apple technology into their creative processes and present the results during the fair in October.
With this first preview, Design Miami Paris is shaping its fourth edition, in which historic pieces, new expressions of craftsmanship, and contemporary design will coexist under a single collector’s perspective. The setting at L’Hôtel de Maisons will once again reinforce the relationship between heritage and creation that has defined the identity of the Parisian event.
