All the Villa Noailles team hopes seeing you during the festival to discover together this new designers generation.

We are glad to announce  that Design Parade will open once again this year at Villa Noailles, Hyeres.

We hope to see many of you at the Villa Noailles on the 2^nd of July for the opening day of this great event  and also during the three days of  festival (on the 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th of July).

These three days are mainly composed by the young designers competition, different exhibitions and of course meetings with the designers and jury members. It will also be a unique opportunity to exchange in a festive atmosphere. Don’t hesitate to come to discover Mallet Stevens’ architecture,  have a walk in the Villa’s gardens and naturally  take part in the Design Parade festival!
