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.

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 %.
