How far in advance should you book furniture for Paris Fashion Week?

NOVU recommends booking 2 to 3 months before Paris Fashion Week to secure availability and allow sufficient time for spatial planning and logistics coordination across Parisian venues.

Does NOVU offer bespoke solutions for brands with specific creative briefs?

Yes. For collections and environments that go beyond the standard catalog, NOVU offers a bespoke design and fabrication program. This includes custom-built cube displays and modular structures, clothing racks tailored to the ceiling heights and finish palettes of a specific Paris venue, and fully custom shelving systems designed around the client's spatial and visual requirements. The process begins with a direct conversation with the NOVU Paris team, who then develop a tailored proposal including technical drawings, material options, and a production timeline calibrated to the Fashion Week schedule.

How does NOVU manage logistics on the day of the event?

The NOVU Paris team handles scheduled delivery windows aligned with the production timeline, full installation according to the approved floor plan, on-site support for major PFW shows, and rapid, clean takedown once the event concludes. All furniture is handled with care from the Paris depot to the venue, including complex access situations such as heritage-listed buildings in the 1st arrondissement or narrow Marais courtyards.

Does NOVU also cover decor and ambience for Paris Fashion Week spaces?

Yes. Beyond display structures and seating, NOVU offers a dedicated decor and ambience range designed to give a Parisian showroom or runway space its final identity. Accent mirrors extend visual depth and multiply light in compact interiors. Lighting pieces add drama and directional focus. Rugs define zones within open floor plans and introduce material warmth to raw or industrial venue environments. The entire range is available through the same rental platform, allowing event producers to work with a single supplier from the first furniture piece to the last finishing detail.
