What Is PAD London?

PAD London is one of London’s premier design fairs, held annually and dedicated to 20th-century and contemporary design, and collectible jewellery. It was founded in 1997 in Paris by Parisian antique dealer Patrick Perrin, with the first London edition running ten years later in Hanover Square. Moving to Berkeley Square in 2016, galleries travel from across the world to showcase their wares here; this year, more than 60 galleries will come to London for PAD.

‘Following the successful 25th edition of PAD Paris, I am delighted to present the 15th anniversary edition of PAD London, marking a significant milestone in the fair’s history,’ says founder and CEO Patrick Perrin. ‘Over the course of fifteen years, our dedicated efforts have transformed PAD London – the only design fair in the UK – into the popular and vibrant platform it is today: a place of boundless inspiration, dedicated to creativity, quality, learning and discovery for all.’

Ultimately, PAD is designed to inspire collectors, art consultants, museum experts and interior designers – but if you don’t fall into any of these categories, it’s also just a lovely place to browse.
