Created in 1999, the Puces du Design are :
* An inevitable rendez-vous for design lovers : you.
* A favorite place for strolling at the water's edge : not the beach side, but not bad.
* A good place for buying exceptional or historical pieces, fun pieces are always tempting, there you go for a splendid week-end which will end up ruining you !
Besides the 100 antique dealers there will be special exhibitions :
* Jean-Louis Avril, born in 1935, has been one of the first designers to use cardboard for creating furniture... Before the trend of ecology, he made of this simple material a «buiding material». An avant-garde research presented on the stand of Flavien Gaillard Concept.
* «Made in Italie» : Les Puces du Design has chosen to celebrate the country of design : Italy. On the Puces du design several exhibitions will celebrate design «Made in Italy» with namely an event about Osvaldo Borsani on the stand Artefact Design and a presentation of the collection «locus solus» designed by Gae Aulenti and edited by Poltronova in 1963 on the stand XXO.
* « Tribute to the famous Gras lamps » : on Alaxandre Guillemain’s stand .
