Design Miami, which runs through December 5, kick started Art Basel Miami Beach week last night with a dazzling display of modern and contemporary furniture, lighting, jewelry, and other stylish design objects. The fair, which is billed as “the global forum for design,” debuts this year in a new temporary structure, designed by the New York-based design team Moorhead & Moorhead, that’s conveniently located near to the Miami Beach Convention Center, home of ABMB.
Some of the world’s leading design galleries, including Galerie Patrick Seguin and Galerie Kreo from Paris, Demisch Danant and R 20th Century from New York, and Carpenters Workshop Gallery from London are presenting work alongside emerging dealers Matter, Industry, and Venice Projects. Additionally, high-profile design sponsors, such as Swarovski, Fendi, and Cappellini, commissioned designers to construct site-specific projects and tapped W Magazine editor-in-chief Stefano Tonchi to moderate a series of design talks, including one with Silvia Fendi, Ron Arad, and Pharrell Williams and another with Design Miami’s 2010 designer of the year, Konstantin Grcic.
