Your agency for eco-responsible
custom stand design with integrated carpentry
At Des Pas En Avant, an ISO 20121-certified stand designer, we offer a complete solution — from the initial concept to the final realization of your stands.
We orchestrate every step of the process: from the creative idea to team coordination, from meaningful discussions to on-site support, all the way through technical planning and execution on D-Day.
Our mission is to deliver tailor-made services for each project — whether for exhibition stands, interior fittings, showrooms, or the increasingly popular pop-up stores in shopping malls.
Since our creation in 2015, we have favored long-term stand contracts with reassembly over approximately three years, including the storage of your structures on-site in our own facilities.
Your stand is manufactured in Burgundy and installed across various exhibition venues by our own teams and trusted local partners.
Paris, Germany, England, Spain, Italy, Switzerland — and even project follow-up in Asia — we are ready to support you on stand areas ranging from 9 to 1000 sqm.
Des Pas En Avant, let’s keep moving forward together.
