From October 10—16 in Berkeley Square, PAD London returns in-person after two years of virtual presentations. Highlighting the best of contemporary and 20th-century design, the fair’s 14th edition includes presentations across mediums like furniture, jewelry, and decorative arts, diving into areas of focus like iconic designs, emerging creatives, innovations in materials and sustainability, design embracing heritage, conversations between past and present design, and more.
“It is a joy to be back in London,” said Founder and CEO of PAD, Patrick Perrin. “This new edition of PAD captures all the elements that constitute the fair’s DNA: a curated gathering of the world’s most visionary gallerists and creators, driven by a common goal to champion exceptional work, new talent, innovation, and craftsmanship; a desire to inspire the most spectacular interiors by sparking a conversation between past and present and most of all, a commitment to break down barriers between the disciplines of art, design, and jewelry in order to foster creativity.”
