Designer's Days - "10 ans!"

Paris is asserting its position on the international design circuit as it celebrates the 10th anniversary of Designer Day's, an annual event that gathers together a host of brands and design bodies to showcase their latest collaborations or concepts. At the prestigious Maison Baccarat, lighting designer Yann Kersalé has put together a lighting display around crystal wares, and at Belgium wall covering company Arte International, paper dress designs signed by Isabelle de Borchgrave are on show. Other events include a ‘liquid’ video installation produced by designer Philippe Di Méo for Boffi Bains and an illusionary interactive display, signed by Belgian designer Arne Quinze for L’Eclaireur.


Described as a "federative platform" for large-scale industry players and smaller designers alike, the aim of the event is to create a network "devoted to the promotion of design", says Designer's Days president Alain Larvet. A sister event in Milan, called Design-in-the-City was inaugurated last October and projects are underway to extend the event to the cities of Marseilles, Bordeaux and Nantes.
