PAD, widely recognized as a pioneering design fair and a key force in establishing collectible design as a category in its own right, is preparing to set up in Saint-Tropez for the first time.
The inaugural edition will take place at Maison Jean Despas, located on the celebrated Place des Lices, which sits at the heart of the town. The fair runs from Thursday, July 2, 2026—beginning with a private preview—through Sunday, July 5.
With over two decades in Paris and around 15 in London behind it, PAD has built its reputation on a distinctive positioning, rigorous curatorial standards, and an international scope. These qualities have made it a leading reference point for both historical and contemporary design, drawing architects, interior designers, collectors, institutions, and seasoned enthusiasts.
The first PAD Saint-Tropez will assemble around 20 French and international galleries specializing in historical and contemporary design, alongside presentations of artists' jewelry.
