Come and discover Le Design Défilé
In this exhibition, structured as a choreographed parcours, design objects are staged in dialogue with movement, sound and atmosphere. Conceived as a défilé, it unfolds as a spatial narrative.
Curated by the collective French Living in Motion and designed by Jakob+MacFarlane, the exhibition brings together 53 pieces from 28 French designers and design brands. Le Design Défilé asserts a French voice in Milan, extending the creative dialogue between two capitals of fashion and design.
We wanted to question the way design is perceived today. The runway became a metaphor—objects in evolution,engaging with the body and leaving a sensory trace within space. The scenography invites visitors to move through it, to observe differently, to feel.

A selection by Le FRENCH DESIGN
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.
