A Look Back at Design Miami / 2022 and our FAV Booths

Design Miami is the only fair focused on "collectible design objects" such as furniture, lighting, and jewelry.  I come from a family with a background in upholstery fabric + furniture design thus and Design Miami is my cup of tea.  Representing the apex of current "collectible design," showcasing the highest level creativity, I think you will enjoy this brief look back at Design Miami 2022.  I was particularly drawn to works like Katie Stout's and her 6 foot green lamp at R & Company and the table form by Brooklyn based artist J McDonald.

I had the pleasure of visiting four of my favorite art fairs during Miami Art Week 2022 and ill be posting a look back at these art fairs as well,  Art Basel Miami Beach, Untitled Art Fair, and NADA Miami.   Ill also encourage you to visit the fairs section above, where you can discover the top rated art fairs.

Forest Candelabra 03 by Jan Ernst 
Storyteling through the use oflight is central to all my designs. The idea behind the Forest Candelabra collection was to create an interplay between the variety of organic shapes,t extures and the way light moves on it. Unlike the environments that inspired the Sea and Veld Candelabras, the forest is a place with different light qualities that create intrigue, mystery and surprise. The forms are driven by various elements like branches, fungi, bulbs and shoots.

Curio at Design Miami/ 2022

CHRONOS by Objects of Common Interest
Curated by Mr.Lawrence

The time we dedicate to any object – its use, its contemplation – could be considered the 
measure of its effectiveness. The true meaning of its existence. However, time is still seen as a human construct. Early Greek philosophers considered Chronos (meaning “time” in Greek) as an illusion. The project by Object of Common Interest requires time to activate a perception that is fully here and now. The material interacts with the slightest variations of light and colors, and with the soft movements of the draping. Aristotle treated time as a measure of motion. Motions of things, motions of human beings.

This is Copper Floorlamp by Studio ThusThat
Slag is a waste byproduct of mining and metallurgy. In the production–and even recycling–of metal, slag is cast aside as a man-made lava in mountainous heaps.
Despite being seen as a waste, slag benefits from unique properties, and can be used as an alternative to cement—a ‘geopolymer’–with 80% lower carbon footprint.
