Beautiful interior of the Studio PAD hall this year was designed by Pierre Gonalon with the participation of Pierre Frey and Mobiler National. The Parisian apartment of a Russian dancer and famous collector Rudolf Nureyev, decorated in the 1990s by Emilio Carcano, became an inspiration for this space, which welcomed the guests of the exhibition.
The PAD restaurant design, which hosts meetings, formal and informal lunches, was designed this year by Sarah Lavoine.








PAD exhibition runs from March 22 to March 26, 2017.
