Paris Design Week is a citywide design festival taking place from September 4 to 13, 2025, showcasing the very best of global design in exhibitions, events, talks and installations across more than 375 venues. The French capital will become a hub for designers, architects and the public to come together and be inspired by innovation and ideas from around the world. Paris Design Week is timed to coincide with the Maison&Objet September trade show, aimed at stimulating growth in the design and craft sector. Among The Wick’s favourite pieces this year is an example of craft meetings contemporary design and art from Guatemala, Designs by Hand. This dazzling display at 84 Rue de Turenne is arranged across a series of captivating capsules, taking cues from the Guatemalan Great Jaguar – the iconic 7th century CE pyramid that is a symbol of Mayan architecture, culture and spirituality. The display promises to bring the “spirit of Guatemala” to Paris with designers and artisans showcasing heritage Mayan craftsmanship techniques with a contemporary vision, reimagining traditional, organic materials such as wood, clay and volcanic stone. A compelling exhibit that demonstrates how cultural identity is preserved through design – as the collective put it: “an ode to ancestral beauty and contemporary vision.”
