History

Since 2016, villa Noailles has been committed to a new initiative dedicated to interior architecture and decoration, key fields in the history of the decorative arts.
In keeping with the villa Noailles festivals, Design Parade – Interior Architecture brings together several exhibitions centred on a competition designed to reveal and support the younger generation of interior architects, the first project of its kind in France. Through this platform, villa Noailles aims to strengthen its support for emerging talent by fostering encounters and exchanges between young designers, professionals, the public and the press.

THE DESIGN PARADE FESTIVAL WILL TAKE PLACE FROM 25 TO 28 JUNE 2026

The Festival presents 10 young international interior architects, selected by a prestigious jury, chaired in previous years by India Mahdavi, Vincent Darré, Pierre Yovanovitch, François Champsaur, Studio KO, Rodolphe Parente, Aline Asmar d’Amman, Marion Mailaender and Harry Nuriev.
Competitors are invited to create a living space within villa Noailles, produced with the support of the Festival and its partners. In addition to the projects by the ten candidates, the Festival programmes several exhibitions. The exhibitions of the 10 competing interior architects form the core of the Festival.
