For Paris Design Week, come and discover two free exhibitions at the Bibliothèque Historique de la Ville de Paris.
At the Bibliothèque Historique de la Ville de Paris, Paris Design Week presents a diverse program exploring relationships with materials, living things, and craftsmanship through three initiatives. Founded in 2025, the ppdesigner collective brings together seven designers. The Service compris exhibition at the BHVP will take the form of an open-air café, bringing together around forty designers to explore the Parisian café as a place to meet and socialize. With no standardized furniture or set menu, each element—chair, table, tableware, or lamp—will form part of an eclectic whole where different practices intersect. Readings and activities will be held throughout the exhibition, turning the venue into a vibrant space. Organized by the Fibois network, the Bois Français & Design 2026 competition highlights a new generation of designers committed to promoting locally sourced wood. More than twenty projects were selected from the 80 submissions received. The exhibition extends across the courtyard and library spaces, showcasing a range of approaches spanning formal innovation, responsible use of resources, and reflection on production methods.
