Design Miami is coming to Paris for the third time between October 22nd and 26th, 2025 with the Designers of Tomorrow exhibition. The event showcases leading contemporary galleries and designs within a historic venue, the Hôtel des Maisons, a private mansion founded in the 18th century where Karl Lagerfield once resided.
The exhibition is unique in its focus on technology, inviting Apple to select four emerging and promising artists from a pool of 21 previously chosen. Their creations push the boundaries of creativity and become a symbol of the bridge between craftsmanship and digital design. "Beyond creating beautiful objects, the featured designers share a curiosity for experimenting with materials and processes, blurring the lines between digital design tools, traditional craftsmanship, and inventive production methods," explains Rodman Primack, designer at AD100. Indeed, Apple is committed to promoting a philosophy based on innovation and modernity; artists must adapt to their time by embodying new values associated with progress. The condition is original and specific: all the objects are designed using the technology of the new iPad Pro.
