To encapsulate French success in the world of design the ‘Excuse My French!’ display consists of four sectors.

  • Small manufacturers and producers, also known as petites maisons. These innovators are redefining old design standards in order to create exclusive, unique, and desirable products.
  • French tech.
    Entrepreneur Xavier Niel called France the principal destination for technology in Europe, and in this section, you will find innovations from tech companies all over the nation.
  • The cosmopolitan generation who have blended French chic with influences from other cultures and traditions.
  • The daring French designers who are making their own style labeled as “Classic with a twist”. These designers create pieces that are creative but also controversial, fascinating but also frightening, and unique but also unheard of, all done as a result of the movement to find the next fad.
