Interior Design Tours UK (IDT) is an initiative launched by design industry experts Justin Van Breda and Grant Pierrus (Interior Style Hunter). As its inaugural venture, IDT provided a unique opportunity to tour Paris for Paris Déco Off and Maison & Objet, the leading home décor fair, with design peers as well as the opportunity to experience exclusive access to confidential spaces of high profile designers. The excursion was not only informative and fun but incredibly rewarding and inspiring. Personal highlights include exclusive access to the workshop and atelier of design visionary Hubert le Gall, inspirational designer Vincent Darre and a dazzling evening of champagne and canapés at the exclusive Interior Design Tours Gala hosted at the US Embassy Official State Apartment.

It’s not often one gets the chance to enjoy private access to exclusive studios, mingle with fellow industry peers and engross oneself in limitless design inspiration all in the space of three days! We’d like to thank our superb hosts, Justin and Grant as well as all the amazing brands and generous sponsors that made our trip so incredibly memorable. We’re looking forward to the next exciting adventure!
