Design Post, in Cologne, is not quite an event. In fact, it is a permanent showroom, which comes alive at certain, particularly representative trade fairs. Design Post is located at Deutz-Mülheimer-Strasse 22a in Cologne, so exactly opposite the halls of Koelnmesse. This is a forward-looking location that allows companies to have a permanent showroom, and attract trade fair visitors to the adjacent halls. In addition, Design Post, carved out of a Post Office building, is a particularly striking and attractive location with post-industrial architecture.

Created in 2010 by Maison&Objet, Paris Design Week aims to revitalize the city every September, raising awareness among the general public and professionals about the latest trends in the world of design, decoration and the art of living. Paris Design Week is also an opportunity for design lovers to experience Paris in a different light. The temporary installations created by designers, in fact, are open and free to all.
A feature of Paris Design Week, in September 2024, is to highlight artisans and designers; the Paris Design Week Factory is a springboard for emerging talent. Schools, designers and cultural centers, catalysts of talent, come together, to reveal the many expressions of design. Some historical institutions offer their private mansions, which thus become destinations for alternative walks to discover the secret contemporary design in Paris.

The Uchronia studio displays a four-poster bed in the central courtyard, as an ode to the Hôtel de la Marine, a former royal furniture depot. Standing as tall as an acropolis on a ceramic platform, it transforms the installation into a public square. The ceramic tiles, produced by the Dutch brand Palet, pick up the colors of the quarters’ dwellings: the red of Pierre-Élisabeth de Fontanieu’s bedroom and the turquoise blue of the physics cabinet. Atop its pedestal, the XXL ceremonial bed sports an exuberant array of drapery and pillows. Cabinetmaker Pierre Renart, meanwhile, presents an original work here with the Maison Parisienne gallery. Inspired by the theme of travel, he has taken up the headquarters courtyard and its 18th-century architecture with Escale, a wraparound hammock made of wooden slats.

Design Weeks can become alternative tourism destinations for those who appreciate design events. Paris Design Week, for example, is an opportunity to see places and areas off the usual paths. In general, these are nice areas, with beautiful buildings, historic mansions, furniture and decoration showrooms, areas where it is also lovely to walk around, and where you can also find fewer tourists. Plus, one can see beautiful, original objects and decorations and make interesting purchases. For professionals, it’s always an opportunity to find inspiration and meet designers and businesses in a fascinating setting.
