<p class="has-drop-cap"><strong>PAD Paris</strong> will return to the Jardin des Tuileries from March 31 to April 4, bringing together a tightly edited selection of international and French galleries specializing in historical and contemporary design.</p><p>Founded in Paris in 1998, PAD was the first fair dedicated exclusively to design and has since established itself as a fixture of the international collecting calendar. Its strength lies in the dialogue between periods: museum-quality 20th-century furniture, contemporary collectible design, decorative arts, ceramics, jewelry, and exceptional objects are presented side by side rather than separated into conventional categories.</p><h4><strong>Collecting at PAD Paris</strong></h4><p>PAD is considerably more intimate than Paris's major art fairs, and that scale is part of its identity. Galleries construct highly considered interiors rather than conventional booths, placing works in conversation across periods, materials, and disciplines. The approach has made the fair particularly relevant to collectors, interior designers, architects, art advisers, and institutions looking beyond individual pieces toward the way design is collected and lived with.</p><p>The Tuileries location also places PAD at the center of Paris's spring art calendar, with Art Paris beginning at the Grand Palais on April 1. For collectors attending both fairs, the dates create a concentrated week spanning collectible design and modern and contemporary art.</p>
