PAD Saint-Tropez 2026

PAD Saint-Tropez is an international fair for historical and contemporary design and art, taking place for the first time in Saint-Tropez, France. International galleries present masterpieces at the intersection of design, applied arts, jewelry, and photography. For art collectors, gallery professionals, and enthusiasts of decorative arts on the Côte d’Azur.

The first international design fair of Saint-Tropez

PAD—Pavillon of Art & Design—was founded in Paris in 1998 and is considered the world’s first design fair exclusively dedicated to historical and contemporary design. In 2026, the first edition will take place in Saint-Tropez, on the French Riviera. International galleries will present a carefully curated selection of furniture, decorative arts, jewelry, photography, and installations—from historical masterpieces to contemporary creations.

Dialogue between historical and contemporary design

Each edition of PAD brings together a selection of international and French galleries presenting works from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. A selection committee assesses the participating galleries for quality and coherence. In addition to gallery positions, the fair awards prizes in categories such as contemporary design and decorative arts. PAD will hold three editions in 2026: Paris (April 8-12), Saint-Tropez (July 2-5), and London (October 13-18).

Collectors fair in an exceptional setting

Saint-Tropez is no random choice. The city attracts international collectors, interior design professionals, and art lovers with an affinity for the connection between art, design, and a refined lifestyle. The fair takes place in the Salle Jean-Despas, centrally located in the heart of Saint-Tropez. PAD is therefore a meeting place for those who want to discover, purchase, or professionally follow contemporary and historical design pieces.
