Dates and venue for Vivre Côté Sud 2026
Vivre Côté Sud - Aix-en-Provence 2026 runs from 5 to 8 June 2026 at Parc Jourdan. The venue serves both as exhibition ground and as a setting for scenographies that highlight craftsmanship and curated displays.
Theme and creative direction for the edition
The 1, 2, 3… Style & Match theme encourages assembling, mismatching and layering. The edition foregrounds contrasts and accords across materials, colors and eras, with an emphasis on intuitive composition and a lively southern aesthetic. The involvement of the Maisons Côté Sud editorial universe shapes a focus on Mediterranean palettes and the art of living.
Representative exhibitors and product types
Local workshops and artisanal brands are prominent. Bopalett presents handcrafted wooden furniture from Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and contributes to the waterside scenography. Paolina offers graphic-driven textiles and apparel with Mediterranean references. DAVIA Tintura Corsa highlights plant-based dye techniques using Corsican flora. Together they exemplify the fair’s tilt toward furniture, textiles and artisan-made decorative objects.
Practical approach to commercial outreach
Enter the fair with a short list of target suppliers and product categories. Prepare visual materials that demonstrate retail positioning or project concepts and request technical sheets during meetings. Schedule brief on-stand conversations to collect contacts and follow up promptly after the fair. For buyers focused on small-scale retail, prioritize producers with consistent handcraft quality and realistic production timelines.
