The prestigious cross-collecting art fair PAD London returns to Mayfair this autumn for seven days of design inspiration for seasoned collectors, curators and admirers alike. Founded by Parisian art dealer Patrick Perrin in 1997, the London edition launched a decade later before PAD expanded to Geneva and, earlier this year, Monaco.

This year’s highlights include a Marc Fish-designed desk (above), a pair of ancient Egyptian-inspired gold rings by Ai Weiwei, the Nwa-Mulamula chaise by South African designer Rich Mnisi, and this rare armchair by late French designer Joseph-Andre Motte.
