PAD ventures beyond London’s now countless art fairs, elegantly blending modern art, archi-
tecture, design and the decorative arts. In its ninth edition this year, and nestled within Mayfair’s
Berkeley Square, 62 galleries will display an eclectic mix of objects that range from clothing to
furniture, painting to sculpture and ceramics to architecture. These serve all manner of tastes, encom-
passing a time period that spans from antiquity to the present day, with newcomers such as Rose
Uniacke and Gordon Watson, and returning staples Michael Hoppen and Gallery Fumi. With an objects
admission committee that comprises over 20 industry specialists, the quality of the fair is exceptional and
attracts collectors and visitors from all over the world: 25,000 people attended in 2014 alone. pad-fairs.com
