PAD London brought together galleries, artists and designers in Berkeley Square, offering a chance to see how collectible design is influencing contemporary interiors.

The fair showcased an eclectic mix of historical and contemporary pieces, from sculptural furniture to experimental ceramics. The most interesting displays challenged the distinction between art and furniture, with objects that were as much about form and expression as their practical function.

 Among the work on display were an organic armchair inspired by plants growing on rocks by Alfhild Külper and a playful, Barbie-pink games table by Willy Rizzo. These contrasting pieces illustrated the breadth of the fair, from natural forms to bold, characterful design.

“The mix of vintage and contemporary design felt particularly relevant, reflecting the industry's wider shift towards interiors that feel collected and curated over time, with a growing appreciation for handcrafted pieces and the beauty of imperfection.”

- Elizabeth Norman, Interior Designer
