Design Miami/, the event that brings together the most influential collectors, gallery owners, designers, curators and critics to celebrate design culture, returns to Miami Beach from December 3 to 8. And for its fifteenth edition it will be located for the first time inside the Pride Park, with its entrance directly in front of the entrance to Art Basel Miami Beach.
“We are thrilled to present this edition of Design Miami/ in the newly completed 6-acre park, called Pride Park. What was once a parking lot has been transformed into an additional public green space next to the Miami Beach Botanical Garden,” says Jennifer Roberts, CEO of Design Miami/. “With each edition of the fair, we see that the range and quality of the pieces continues to grow. From rare pieces, dating back to the 19th century, to special mid-century commissions and contemporary pieces debuting at the fair to address the most important concerns of today’s society, the presentations themselves are increasingly innovative and engage with our visitors to deliver moments of discovery, fostering global interest in collectible design.”
The theme of this edition is “Elements: water”, which many galleries have enthusiastically welcomed through contemporary pieces inspired by this essential decreasing resource.
These include initiatives such as the ROOTS pavilion curated by Ximena Caminos, the Swarovski Waterschool and Nao Tamura’s Sunshower installation at Lexus.
“Elements: water” will also take center stage at the Design Forum, with conferences such as Sustainability as the New Business Model presented by Lexus and Whitewall exploring how the creative industries and consumers are approaching climate change and the Designing Water Futures panel presented by A/D/O with Alexander Groves, artist and founder of Studio Swine; Vincent Lee, associate director of Arup; and Jane Withers, founder of the Jane Withers studio.
Swarovski will also host a special screening of the documentary film of the Waterschool brand and a Waterschool workshop for children of all ages.
33 galleries and 14 Curio presentations from 13 countries, including three galleries that will be present for the first time at Design Miami/: AGO Projects, Erik Thomsen Gallery and Galerie Scene Ouverte.
These are the numbers of an event not to be missed and to mark in the agenda!
