Jean-Pierre Blanc is both the founder and the director of the festival which is presided over by Pascale Mussard.

Created in 2006, the Design Parade Hyères festival aims to share with the public and the professionals the contemporary creation in the field of design. As major point, the competition presents ten young designers every year offering them a unique visibility and support. The festival is also a moment of sharing, encounters and discoveries. Ten year after its older festival, launched in 2016, Design Parade Toulon follows the same goals. Devoted to interior design, it is the first competition and festival of its kind in France. In 2019, the Centre Pompidou signs a plurianual agreement with the métropole Toulon Provence Méditerranée to show the national collections of design in Toulon.

Henceforth, each summer, the villa Noailles organises Design Parade in two events: the first in Toulon, for interior design, and the second at Hyères, for design.
Design Parade will allow, over an extended weekend, for the fullest view of the decorative arts in contemporary design. The festival is also an opportunity to discover the heritage of these two neighbouring towns, which both offer an expression of the architectural and decorative wealth of the Var region.

2021 is a remarkable year for many reasons :

  • in Hyères, we celebrate the 15th edition of the festival with the designer Constance Guisset who is on the first laureate of the competition,
    and also the 10 years of the permanent exhibition dedicated to Charles and Marie-Laure de Noailles, which for its anniversary, features major artworks from these patrons of the arts collection

  • in Toulon, we celebrate the 5 years of the festival with the two architects from Studio KO, Karl Fournier and Olivier Marty,
    and we are happy to present the design collections of the Centre Pompidou for the second time, the exhibition Futurissimo is curated by Marie-Ange Brayer and scenographied by Jean-Baptiste Frastrez (Design Parade Hyères laureate in 2011).
