Programme
DESIGN PARADE
Design Parade celebrates a double anniversary this year.
From Villa Noailles in Hyères to Chapelle Chalucet in Toulon, exhibitions and installations look back on 20 years of design and 10 years of interior architecture – two decades of experimentation that reaffirm the international festival’s role as a true launchpad for tomorrow’s creative talent. Congratulations to the whole team!
At Villa Noailles, the two competitions are exceptionally presented together this year, offering an insight into the next generation of contemporary design through the work of the shortlisted designers and interior architects, selected by juries chaired by @lauragonzalezofficiel (interior architecture) and @frontdesign (design). Exhibitions on view until 30 August 2026.
At Chapelle Chalucet in Toulon, the anniversary exhibition 20+10: Génération(s) Design Parade revisits two decades of experimentation through the designers, projects and personalities that have shaped the festival’s history. Also on view until 30 August 2026.
