Throughout September, design takes center stage in France through the France Design Week event, organized from September 7 to 28 throughout France. This event is led by APCI – Promotion du Design, and aims to give visibility to the diversity and vitality of French design practices. Specifically, the objective is to open the doors of design to as many French people as possible.
More than 350 events have received the France Design Week label—events organized by numerous stakeholders (schools, companies, studios, agencies, etc.) taking all forms: exhibitions, conferences, open houses, design studio tours, workshops, etc.
This edition of France Design Week was accompanied by the launch of a platform that will list all events. Visitors will be able to select events near them using an interactive map. And speaking of which, we decided to give you a brief focus on events organized in our beloved South region.

In Marseille, Design Meets Pastis!
The France Design Week event is not only about exhibitions, workshops, etc., but also highlights events where minds will brainstorm. And that’s the whole point of Pastis.design, a Marseille-based community that organizes design meetups followed by an aperitif. The goal of these meetups is to create encounters and sharing to learn and have fun around design.

In Arles, Culinary Design Takes the Spotlight
Design is now integrated into our entire daily life, and cuisine is no exception. In fact, chefs place particular importance on their creations, at a time when visuals shared on Instagram have considerable significance for them. As such, the Pays d’Arles has decided to honor the richness of its IGP, AOP, and Label Rouge certified products, between Alpilles, Crau, and Camargue, through a sensory journey offered by Rosa Pilipel.
