"PAD Paris has become one of the clearest expressions of the French art de vivre, not as an abstract concept but rather as something material, collectible, and even exportable."
"When it was founded, PAD made a more radical proposition: that a chair, a lamp, or a screen could carry the same artistic weight, historical value, and desirability as a painting."
PAD Paris, held annually in the Jardin des Tuileries, is a significant event in the design world, showcasing collectible design. Established in 1998, it awards prizes for Best Stand, Best Contemporary Design, and Best Historical Design. PAD has transformed the perception of design from mere functionality to a collectible art form, emphasizing its cultural and intellectual value. The event reflects the French art de vivre, making design a marker of lifestyle and craftsmanship, resonating with collectors globally.
