The first edition of France Design Week aims to educate professionals, design lovers and the public about industry initiatives through a variety of events held across the country.

The event organisers hope that France Design Week will "build national momentum in favour of French design and its advancement" as well as offering participants the opportunity to "share expertise [and] promote all expressions of design across the country."

A number of different events will take place during the design week such as exhibitions, conferences, workshops, studio tours, university open days and networking opportunities. All events will be open to the public.

Paris, Lille, Lyon and Marseille are among the cities that will be participating in France Design Week.

Dezeen is a media partner of France Design Week 2020.

France Design Week 2020 takes place from 1 to 15 September 2020 at various locations around the country.
