1st Edition of the Art & Design Exhibition
Place Des Lices, Saint-Tropez
July 02 – 05, 2026

Founded in Paris in 1998 at the initiative of Patrick Perrin, PAD has established itself as the world’s leading design fair and a key reference for both historic and contemporary design. For nearly thirty years, the fair has brought together gallerists, collectors, architects, interior designers, and design enthusiasts around a distinctive and demanding vision of collection design.

Following its editions in Paris and London, PAD is launching a new summer destination in Saint-Tropez in 2026. From July 2 to 5, the fair will take over the Maison Jean Despas for the very first time, located on the iconic Place des Lices, the vibrant heart of the town. In this emblematic setting, 20 French and international galleries will present a carefully curated selection of historic and contemporary design pieces, alongside artist jewellery.

Conceived as a space for dialogue between eras, styles, and craftsmanship, PAD Saint-Tropez celebrates an art of living where creation, collecting and emotion come together. True to the fair’s DNA, this first edition will showcase rare work, major signatures and fresh perspectives within an immersive scenography inspired by the Mediterranean spirit.

A sneak peek of this year’s exhibitors:

BOKETTO – Galerie Boketto views design as an extension of the human experience. It brings together objects that invite prolonged contemplation. Postwar design, contemporary works, and new commissions engage in dialogue around a shared relationship to material, technique, and concept, in a search for balance between form and intention.

ELIE TOP – Maison Elie Top stands out through hybrid worlds where techniques and materials respond to one another through their complementarity. By blending contrasting aesthetics and temporalities, the designer creates unique pieces and contemporary French jewellery collections. Founded in 2015, the house is distinguished by bold lines, strong volumes, and baroque and futuristic influences. Its playful and surprising jewellery transcends eras and styles to create a balance between tradition and innovation.

GALERIE GASTOU – An iconic figure in 20th-century interior design, Galerie Gastou was founded by Yves Gastou and joined by his son Victor in 2005. For both, the gallery goes beyond a simple exhibition space: it is a place of discovery and transmission, where eras and styles meet within a constantly evolving aesthetic. It is distinguished by a confident eclecticism, blending great masters of 20th-century decorative arts with contemporary designers such as Agnès Debizet, Béatrice Serre, Emmanuel Jonckers, and Emmanuel Babled.

HOUSE OF TODAY – House of Today is a non-profit organisation dedicated to developing a sustainable design ecosystem in Lebanon with an international reach. For over ten years, its main goal has been to strengthen exchanges in the design world, increase the visibility of contemporary Lebanese designers and their creative processes, through mentorship, education, showcasing collections, and network development.

MAISON PARISIENNE – Founded in 2008 by Florence Guillier Bernard, Maison Parisienne is a gallery dedicated to artists working with materials, at the crossroads of art, craftsmanship, and contemporary design. Through a rigorous approach, it highlights the gesture, know-how, and formal research of around twenty creators with distinct universes. Wood, glass, textile, metal, ceramic, and feather become the media for works ranging from furniture to monumental sculpture. The gallery champions unique pieces, limited editions, and commissioned works conceived as truly exceptional objects.

MAISONJAUNE STUDIO – Maison Jaune Studio invites visitors to see, breathe, and appreciate art. This interior design gallery offers a subtle blend of rare pieces, materials, and lighting. It expresses the philosophy of Elodie and Julien, who conceive their studio as an eclectic, unexpected, and convivial meeting point between past and present
