PAD London held its seventeenth edition in a Berkeley Square tent in October 2025, with 67 galleries from 20 countries and eleven of them new.
PAD London, the only fair in the UK given wholly to design, held its seventeenth edition on Berkeley Square in Mayfair from Tuesday 14 to Sunday 19 October 2025.
Patrick Perrin, a Parisian antique dealer four generations into the trade, founded PAD London in 2007. That was nine years after he opened PAD Paris in the Jardin des Tuileries, and the Paris sister fair still runs every April.
The tent puts twentieth-century classics beside work finished in the year of the fair. Design is bought differently from art: a piece has to be sat on or lived with, and a collector wants the maker’s other work in the same room.
The 2025 edition, in the same week as Frieze, gathered 67 galleries from 20 countries, eleven of them new. PIK’D of Beirut was the fair’s first exhibitor from the Middle East.
Friedman Benda showed Faye Toogood and Najla El Zein, and Pulp Galerie gave its stand to Gaetano Pesce. Sceners Gallery set Carlo Bugatti against the painter Jean Degottex, and Gallery FUMI premiered Jesse Schlesinger’s sculpted wood.
Sarah Myerscough Gallery brought the wooden vessels of Ernst Gamperl. Objects with Narratives showed the bronze lighting of Vladimir Slavov.
