Eyes on Talents is proud to partner with Le French Design for LE FRENCH DESIGN 100 

A UNIQUE PRIZE, ONE HUNDRED WINNERS

Le FRENCH DESIGN 100, the only design prize in France that honors the international actions of its designers, has undertaken the mission of selecting 100 objects (furniture, decoration, …) & spatials (hotels, boutiques, restaurants, …) design projects that help spread French design around the world. In 2019, the first edition of the prize supported by the French Ministry of Culture and sponsored by Philippe Starck, was held at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris.

In January 2022, this second edition, exceptionally placed under the High Patronage of Mr Emmanuel MACRON, President of the French Republic, will reflect the new landscape of French design. 

Among hundreds of candidates, an international jury selected the projects that excelled the most in diffusing the spirit and values of French design throughout the world. Led by jury president Hervé Lemoine, director of Mobilier national, the jury includes a prestigious selection of international experts such as Deyan Sudjic (director emeritus of the Design Museum in London), Jennifer Flay (creative director of the FIAC, Paris), Leila Anna Wahba (director and head curator of the Architecture + Design Museum, Los Angeles) or Miryon Ko (Art & Culture Director, Cartier Japan, Tokyo).

From January 2022, Le FRENCH DESIGN will hold a digital Festival. The names of the winners will gradually be revealed by Le FRENCH DESIGN ambassadors: museums and international cultural establishments, members of the jury, our sponsor, our guest of honor as well as the thanks to the precious support of the Elysée Palace (the French president’s office).

LIST OF THE 100

Broken down in 20 categories, the projects are not ranked but rather intended to establish a current panorama of the diverse profiles and projects that help French design radiate around the world. Despite the health crisis, they boldly hoist the banner of French design’s intrinsic values, reinforcing not just its presence but its
influence.
These object and interior design projects are showing a Design perspective on sustainable innovation, show proof of balance, are displayed with panache, never lack audacity, underline the synergy between creativity and industry, are placed under the sign of cultural openness, celebrate a French-style art de vivre, are proof of an exceptional savoir-faire, help sustain a rich heritage and shine thanks to their elegance and an ultimate, inimitable touch of luxury that cannot be dissociated from French design.
