The Finalists and the Jury Members of the 2025 Design Parades Hyères and Toulon Unveiled
Created in 2006, with Andrée Putman as a godmother, the Design Parade Hyères festival aims to spread contemporary creation with both the public and professionals working in design. One of the remarkable features of this competition is that it showcases the work of ten young designers every year, offering them unique visibility and support. The festival is also a moment of sharing, encounters and discoveries. As for the Design Parade Toulon, launched in 2016 with Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec as godfathers, the competition follows the steps of its older brother. Devoted to interior design, it is the first competition and festival of its kind in France. Henceforth, every summer, the Villa Noailles separates the Design Parade into two parts: the first event is in Toulon and is dedicated to interior design, and the second one takes place in Hyères and is dedicated to design. The festival is also an opportunity to explore the heritage of these two neighbouring towns, each embodying the architectural and decorative legacy of the Metropole and the Var.
This year, the festival will take place from June 26th to 29th. The 20 finalists and the jury members for Design Parade Hyères and Design Parade Toulon were announced on Thursday, February 27th, during a party at Ateliers Mériguet-Carrère and Delisle.
