In a world where “good taste” and social media algorithms reign supreme, is everything starting to look the same? This thoughtful essay challenges the current absence of critique in interior design media, exploring why design escapes the kind of criticism common in art and film, and what we stand to gain—or lose—by speaking up.
The inaugural edition of DESIGN MIAMI.LA opens today, taking place until May 20, 2024 at a private Holmby Hills estate. The fair’s Curatorial Director, Ashlee Harrison, offers a dynamic program of collectible design, serving as a testament to California’s rich design heritage as an international arbiter of taste. From the post-war mid-century design boom and car culture, to the entertainment industry and space age engineering, the fair explores themes of eclecticism, imagination, and nostalgia – all integral to the city’s design landscape.
