All you have to know about the Design Parade Toulon

Jean-Pierre Blanc is pleased to announce the 4th international festival of interior design from the 27th to the 30th of june 2019
2003

Jean-Pierre Blanc is both the founder and the director of the festival which is presided over by Pascale Mussard. Ten year after its older festival, launched in 2016, Design Parade Toulon follows the same goals as Design Parade Hyères, aims to share with the public and the professionals the contemporary creation in the field of design. As major point, the competition presents ten young designers every
year offering them a unique visibility and support. The festival is also a moment of sharing, encounters and discoveries.
Devoted to interior design, it is the first competition and festival of its kind in France. Henceforth, each summer, the villa Noailles organises Design Parade in two events: the first in Toulon, for interior design, and the second at Hyères, for design.
Design Parade will allow, over an extended weekend, for the fullest view of the decorative arts in contemporary design. The festival is also an opportunity to discover the heritage of these two neighbouring towns, which both offer an expression of the architectural and decorative wealth of the Var region.

COMPETITIONS
Several prizes are awarded to the competing designers thanks to grants provided by the festival’s partners who commit, together with the festival, to provide long term support. Practical assistance is provided right from the selection stage as well as during a period of two years in various different domains: financing, production, craft, materials, production, legal, media, exhibitions, workshops and residencies.
