Design Parade – villa Noailles

Each year, the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres and Design PARADE come together to present the work of designers inside the french institution: from Ettore Sottsass’ collaboration in 1993 and 2005 to the new shapes designed by Pierre Charpin to complete the Manufacture’s repertoire in 2008.

Design PARADE and the Manufacture de Sèvres also collaborate on the Young Designer Competition, the Grand Prix winner having the opportunity to produce a piece with the Manufacture’s century-old workshops. In 2008, Franck Fontana and Sébastien Cordoléani designed a series of mirrors shown in their personnal exhibition in Hyères in July 2008.
