Welcome to Design Parade Hyères 2027 in Hyères
Design Parade Hyères is one of the most important platforms for young designers in Europe, held every summer at the Villa Noailles above the town of Hyères. No official date has been confirmed for 2027 yet, but in recent years the festival has consistently taken place in late June.
Highlights and Attractions at Design Parade Hyères
- An international competition in which ten young object designers present their work to a renowned jury
- Exhibitions of the competition entries on view at the Villa Noailles throughout the summer
- The striking modernist setting of the Villa Noailles itself, a heritage building from the 1920s
- Design talks and professional encounters with designers from around the world
- Partnerships with well known houses and institutions that award their own prizes
- A sister festival dedicated to interior architecture held at the same time in Toulon
Program and Schedule: What to Expect in 2027
The heart of the festival is a multi day design competition, where finalists present their projects live in front of the public and jury. The exhibitions featuring work from all participants open right after and remain on view well into late summer. The program is rounded out with guided tours, workshops for young visitors and talks with designers. The full 2027 program is usually published on the Villa Noailles website in spring.
