Through Le FRENCH DESIGN by VIA we wants to give international readability and visibility to an ecosystem sustained by France, its schools, its makers, its artisanal and industrial savoir-faire and its cultural heritage. Being at once a standard-bearers, tribe of professionals and amateurs with their expositions, values, films, conferences and prospective reflection, Le FRENCH DESIGN by VIA inspires us and opens us to the world. Being at once a standard-bearers, tribe of professionals and amateurs with their expositions, values, films, conferences and prospective reflection, Le FRENCH DESIGN by VIA inspires us and opens us to the world. For nearly 40 years, Le FRENCH DESIGN by VIA imagine the future of France’s art de vivre for new generations of people, each one progressively more connected, nomadic and hungry for meaningful and emotional experiences – but also increasingly conscious of their budget and the impact they have on the planet. VIA was created in 1979 by CODIFAB and the French Ministry for Industry. It aims to develop and promote creation and innovation in the furniture, decoration and private and urban development sectors, both in France and abroad, as part of an open worldwide marketplace that is growing at an annual rate of 7 %.
