Design Miami Paris 2026 returns for its fourth edition at L'hôtel de Maisons, 51 Rue de l'Université, 75007 Paris, from Tuesday 20 October through Sunday 25 October. The fair pairs historic and contemporary collectible design inside an 18th-century Faubourg Saint-Germain mansion once linked to the Pozzo di Borgo family and later to Karl Lagerfeld. This ADVANCE guide covers dates, ticket prices, the venue and how it sits beside other October design weeks already on our calendar.
Design Miami Paris 2026 dates and hours
Official Design Miami fair pages list:
- Tue 20 Oct — by invitation: Members Preview 10 am–3 pm; Collectors Preview 3 pm–7 pm - Wed 21–Sat 24 Oct — public 11 am–7 pm - Sun 25 Oct — public 11 am–6 pm
Public day admission therefore runs 21–25 October. Daily capacity is limited, so timed or day-pass booking matters.
Tickets: what you pay
Design Miami's ARTSVP day-pass page for Paris 2026 lists a general day pass at €42 + €4.20 VAT (about €46.20) and student / senior (65+) day passes at €31 + €3.10 VAT, with ID required. Passes are non-refundable and valid for one day. Buy online ahead of busy weekend slots; onsite sales may sell out when the mansion hits capacity.
Venue: why Hôtel de Maisons matters
Design Miami describes L'hôtel de Maisons as a landmark of French classical architecture in Faubourg Saint-Germain — a two-story residence with cobblestone courtyard, garden and lawn. Staging collectible design against that domestic scale is part of the Paris edition's pitch: galleries, Design at Large installations, partner presentations and talks unfold through salons rather than a convention hall. Confirmed 2026 gallery names circulating ahead of the fair include Galerie MiniMasterpiece and Pierre Marie Giraud; expect the full exhibitor map to firm up closer to 20 October.
How it sits on the October design map
If you are already tracking European design weeks, Design Miami Paris opens three days after Dutch Design Week begins in Eindhoven (17–25 Oct) and overlaps the back half of Design Week Lagos (18–25 Oct) and Samsung's Seoul Design Week programme at DDP. For those neighbouring guides see Dutch Design Week 2026 and Design Week Lagos 2026. Paris is the collectible-design fair lane; Eindhoven and Lagos are citywide festival lanes — complementary, not twins.
Practical tips
Book a day pass before you fly; pair the fair with a Left Bank walk along Rue de l'Université; and leave buffer time for courtyard and garden installations that sit outside the timed salon flow. We will not invent VIP prices or unconfirmed Design Talks line-ups — check designmiami.com for the live programme the week of opening.

What to expect on the floor
Expect gallery booths of twentieth- and twenty-first-century furniture, lighting and objects; Design at Large installations in courtyard and garden spaces; and a talks programme that Design Miami typically announces closer to opening. Bring a tote for catalogues, wear shoes that can handle cobblestones, and photograph only where galleries allow — many collectible pieces are under strict no-flash rules. If you are combining the fair with other Paris design stops the same week, keep Sunday's earlier 6 pm close in mind when you plan transfers.
People also ask: is Design Miami Paris the same as Art Basel Paris?
No. Design Miami's Paris edition is a collectible design fair inside a historic mansion; Art Basel's Paris week (when scheduled) is a separate contemporary-art fair ecosystem. Buyers cross-shop, but editorial coverage and ticket products are distinct. If your search intent is furniture, lighting and design objects from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Design Miami Paris is the correct lane.
