Design Miami Basel
Merida Studio will present three artist’s proofs by Sylvie Johnson in the form of a tokonoma. Johnson conceived the intimate, monochromatic shadowbox to emulate the feeling of quiet meditation when alone with a work of art.
Under curatorial director Glenn Adamson’s chosen theme, Blue Sky, over 45 world-leading galleries will present contemporary and historic highlights that demonstrate the power of a ‘blue sky thinking’ approach to design – past, present, and future.
The week kicked off with positive early sales. Galerie Meubles et Lumières, winner of the fair’s Best Gallery Presentation award, reported the sale of two hero pieces within its booth very quickly upon opening: the Anemone sofa by Jean-Pierre Laporte, a circular set of seating in a flower bud formation, and the large-scale, structural chandelier, Cassiopée by Max Sauze.
The 18th edition of DESIGN MIAMI.BASEL is now open, spotlighting rare and unique presentations of collectible design from over 25 exhibitors at the fair’s established location, the Basel Messeplatz.
