The 4th edition of Design Miami Paris closed its doors on Sunday 25 October 2026, after five days open to the public in a private mansion in the Faubourg Saint-Germain. Its jury singled out Salon 94 Design, a New York gallery, for the best presentation at the fair.
The winners: four prizes, a jury of five
The Design Miami jury handed out four prizes at this edition. It brought together collector Al Eiber, Grela Orihuela, Senior Vice President of Fairs at Design Miami, architect Lee Mindel and two advisers, Jeremy Morrison and Simon Andrews. The winners range from historic pieces to this year’s creations:
- Best Gallery Presentation: Salon 94 Design (New York)
- Best Design At Large Presentation: maison parisienne (Paris), for Arabesque by Pierre Renart
- Best Historic Work: Graf, Kaplan & Zemaitis, for a chair by Frank Lloyd Wright
- Best Contemporary Work: Galerie Maria Wettergren (Paris), for Membrane Chair (2026) by Mathias Bengtsson
Salon 94 Design, best presentation
The New York gallery had built a modern and contemporary hang around a single theme, nature. It set works by Alberto and Diego Giacometti in dialogue with pieces by Rick Owens and Urs Fischer, in one of the mansion’s rooms with gilded panelling. The booth was staged as a complete interior, with lighting, seating, tables and ceramics gathered beneath the original mirror and fireplace.
Pierre Renart and Frank Lloyd Wright honoured
The Best Design At Large Presentation award went to the Paris gallery maison parisienne for Arabesque, an outdoor bench in moabi wood by Pierre Renart, installed in the open air within the mansion’s grounds. Its ribbon of wood curls back on itself to form both the seat and a large loop. On the heritage side, the Best Historic Work award went to Graf, Kaplan & Zemaitis for a chair by Frank Lloyd Wright. The piece was part of the gallery’s exhibition Important Design from 1880 to 1970.
Who won the contemporary work prize?
The Best Contemporary Work award went to Paris-based Galerie Maria Wettergren for Membrane Chair, a 2026 piece by Mathias Bengtsson. The list of winners thus brings together two chairs from very different eras, one by Frank Lloyd Wright and one by Mathias Bengtsson.
30 galleries in an 18th-century mansion
The fair took over the Hôtel de Maisons at 51 rue de l’Université, an 18th-century neoclassical mansion long home to the Pozzo di Borgo family, and later to Karl Lagerfeld. Thirty galleries shared its salons, courtyard and garden. Among them, Galerie Patrick Seguin showed Jean Prouvé, Yves Macaux the Viennese designers Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser and Adolf Loos, and Galerie Chastel-Maréchal Jean Royère, Line Vautrin and Georges Jouve. Nilufar, Galerie kreo, Galerie Mitterrand, Laffanour Galerie Downtown, Side Gallery and Pulp Galerie completed the line-up, while Galerie Gastou presented a monumental bronze swing.
A Calder hammock and artists’ jewellery
PRON presented a hammock by Alexander Calder, made in Nicaragua in 1974, alongside an anthropomorphic chair by Roberto Sebastian Matta. The A/P Room paired Joaquim Tenreiro and Abraham Palatnik with Rogan Gregory’s Originform lights, and Hostler Burrows showed wooden sculptures by Guyku and hand-tufted rugs. Artist jewellery also had its place, with Elisabetta Cipriani Wearable Art, Galerie MiniMasterpiece and Karry Berreby, a specialist in vintage jewellery from the 1950s to the 1980s as well as contemporary pieces.
Apple, Sèvres and Range Rover as partners
Range Rover had its own gallery and Maison Perrier-Jouët was among the partners. Apple supported the 2nd edition of Designers of Tomorrow, with Salem S. Charabi, Isabel Rower, Yoonjeong Lee and Parafernalia. The Manufactures nationales Sèvres and the Mobilier national showed an embroidered Sèvres porcelain ewer by Kunaal Kyhaan Seolekar with the Shanagar workshop. Basic.Space was the lead supporter, under the patronage of the French Ministry of Culture. Design Miami has already announced a new Paris edition in October 2027.
