London fixture
Founded in 2007 by Parisian dealer Patrick Perrin, PAD London is the UK’s only fair dedicated exclusively to design. Held each October during Frieze week, it attracts collectors, curators and design specialists. Its sister fair, PAD Paris, launched in 1998, takes place every April.
The 2025 edition opens for collectors and press on 14 October, with a VIP opening on 15 October. Public days run 16–19 October. Tickets will be available at padesignart.com.
From Bugatti consoles and Aalto furniture to experimental ceramics and contemporary jewellery, PAD London 2025 promises a global conversation between design’s past and future.
