Le Design Défilé introduces a new way of looking at design. Conceived as a scenographic journey by Jakob+MacFarlane, this collective project invites furniture to be seen not as a static object, but as a creation in motion—closely connected to the body, gesture, and time. A singular vision of French design, balancing contemporary precision with a deep-rooted culture of craftsmanship, and oriented toward a sustainable future. A COLLECTIVE PROJECT IN MILAN Led by the French Living in Motion collective—bringing together Le FRENCH DESIGN and l’Ameublement français—the event presents a rigorously curated selection of 53 French creations, reflecting the diversity of design languages, uses, and savoir-faire. THE RUNWAY AS A SCENOGRAPHIC PRINCIPLE The scenography, conceived by the architecture studio Jakob+MacFarlane, lies at the core of the project. Inspired by the world of fashion, it takes the form of a wooden runway, deliberately graphic and precisely lit, extending across both interior and exterior spaces. Built from locally sourced wood and entirely recycled after the event, the runway structures the experience and guides the visitor’s gaze. TWO SPACES, ONE SHARED INTENT The first space brings together 15 indoor and outdoor furniture pieces by designers such as Andrée Putman, Constance Guisset Studio, Elliott Barnes, OUD Architecture, Studio Fritsch+Durisotti..., among others. Selected by Le FRENCH DESIGN from French manufacturers and editors including 3C, Airborne, APPRT2, Atelier Héphaïstos, Atelier Montex, Atelier Sumbiosis, Aura, Drugeot Manufacture, Laval Collection, Maison Fey, Maison Pouenat, Menuiserie Entsia, Mono Editions, Petite Friture, Resistub Productions, Rinck, Scenarii edition, Siegeair, and Xavier Favaro, this selection expresses a Lyric Design approach— one that values careful design processes, material integrity, and craft traditions preserved in France. A design defined by gesture and by the narratives embedded in each piece, continuing the legacy of the decorative arts. The second space highlights 13 French houses, both heritage and contemporary— Alki, Clen x Manade, Duvivier Canapés, Fermob, Franck Genser, Gautier, Lafuma Mobilier, Ligne Roset, Maison Sarah Lavoine, Mercœur Édition, Objekto, Philippe Hurel, Sokoa—each presenting three emblematic pieces representativeof its identity. Together, 38 furniture pieces illustrate the pluralism of French creativity and stylistic expression. They embody the savoir-faire and DNA of each house while emphasizing a shared commitment to responsible manufacturing practices, including durability, eco-design, and recyclability.
