Welcome to Design Miami/ 2015
A letter from Rodman Primack/
Design is everywhere.
It is in the clothes we wear, the chair we sit on,
the train that hurtles below the street,
the container that holds shoe polish, the
receipt from a morning coffee, the transfer of
the electricity that powers the coffee maker…
without applying any value judgment to any
of it, it is all design. Someone has thought
about this specific object, its function and
how we interact with it. It has been designed.
Nature presents us with even more complex
examples of design: systems, functions,
innovations and adaptations that continue
to inspire and confound our greatest
thinkers… a universe so broad we have yet
to even understand its limits.
So why on earth, in our daily lives,
does thinking about design matter?
Why is learning about design important?
Because design is inherently about problem
solving and in 2015 there are lots and lots
of problems. Design is about solutions.
Design and “Design Thinking” can solve many
of these problems, maybe all of them,
and the more we understand this, know this
and apply it to our own lives, professions,
and decisions the better off we will all be.
Yves Béhar, our 2015 Design Visionary,
has designed some incredible products,
almost Jetson like: Up wrist bands that
monitor our exercise and sleep patterns,
jewel like wireless portable speakers,
integrated home technology systems that
allow one to open the front door with a
phone from 10,000 miles away. And the list
goes on and on. All of these products have
been successfully designed to improve our
experience of life but it is Yves’ commitment
to something bigger that warrants further
applause. For years Yves has used the
enormous creative capacity of his design
mind to affect global social change.
Through programs like One Laptop per Child
(which since its launch in 2005 has brought
the internet to over 3 million children in the
underdeveloped world) to See Better to Learn
Better, to his latest project: Spring, an
accelerator program for small business
development in Africa …Yves has so clearly
not limited his purview to our first world
problems of comfort and ease but to the
needs of millions of others.
I invite visitors of Design Miami/ this year to
experience and view this fair through a lens
which allows them to see how the creation of
objects that are pushed beyond their most
basic purpose is the wellspring for ideas that
change our world. Jean Prouvé designed a
handsome, comfortable, durable desk chair
that used minimal materials in a post war
state of scarcity that has endured 60 years.
Today that chair is an object of significant
value and desirability, inherent in its beauty
is utility and economy. Beauty, form, function
and the exploration of materiality are the
hallmarks of progressive design, and again
this year the Design Miami/ Gallery Program
presents a compelling mix of innovative
twentieth and twenty-first century design
that spans five continents.
This achievement is in many ways thanks to
our Gallery Committee, which represents the
brightest and most influential figures in our
field. Suzanne Demisch, Pierre Marie Giraud,
Clémence & Didier Krzentowski and Laurence
& Patrick Seguin have all brought so much to
our fair, not only in terms of their museumquality exhibitions and incomparable
knowledge of collectible design, but also in
their energy, enthusiasm and loyalty.
Alongside our Gallery Program is a host of
other programming and activities: this year
sees our first Design Miami/ Market,
introducing a retail platform that brings
interesting products to the fair from limitededition sunglasses designed by Brazilian
artist Vik Muniz to a special Design Miami/
J.Crew capsule collection designed with
Pierre Le-Tan. The Market kiosks themselves,
which evoke lifeguard stations and beach
kiosks of yesterday, are designed by the
talented Miami-based designer Emmett Moore.
This year we have had the pleasure of
collaborating with the Harvard Graduate
School of Design (GSD) on the Design Miami/
Pavilion Commission. It has been thrilling for
our team to see a juried student competition
come to life in Miami. UNBUILT is an engaging,
generous, physical manifestation of the untold
hours and creativity that go into creating
structures sourced from fellow students,
faculty and graduates of Harvard GSD.
Design Miami/ is a family, and the fair is our
annual family gathering, with loyal partners
returning year after year, consistently
showing their support for designers and the
development of design across the globe.
Notably, this year is the 10th anniversary of
our partnership with Audi. Our relationship
began in 2006 and has grown every year since.
Audi has shown great commitment to design
through collaborations with some of the best
designers in the world resulting in a host of
design installations that have wowed our
visitors.
But as with most families, ours is growing,
and this year we welcome new partners to the
fold, and hope they will also return for our
yearly get-together.
So welcome, or welcome back to the fair,
whichever it may be, and as you leave, look
around you and see if you can recognize where
and how design and design thinking touch
other parts of our lives, making them better,
easier, more comfortable and more beautiful.

1950 Gallery/ Alberto Aquilino/

Before being a creator Serge Mouille was preoccupied with the
beauty of nature’s forms, their utility, their aesthetic interest
and especially the movement which informs the order of their
life, every shape has it function.
Designers/ Clément Borderie, Pierre Jeanneret, Cat Loray, Serge Mouille, George Nakashima, Marianne Vissiere

This is where the mobiles and the stabiles of Mouille were born,
gratuitous objects destined to ornament, with no other reason
but that of the artistic interpretation of the physical
phenomenon of space.
Adapting these theoretical ideas to the practical order this
excellent artist who was also a professor of the art of silver work
at École des Arts Appliqués where he studied the problem of the
diffusion of light in home interiors.
New forms were made clear under the firm hand of this
accomplished artist, beginning with simple elements, Mouille
created a whole world of variations.

Since then, Alberto Aquilino has continued the gallery’s commitment to
the collector, the architect and designer by offering authentic works by
Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret, Le Corbusier, Serge
Mouille, Isamu Noguchi, and George Nakashima. Recently 1950 Gallery
has expanded its traditional scope with a recent exhibition of works by
contemporary French ceramist Marianne Vissiere together with artists
Cat Loray and Clément Borderie.
In 1985, Anthony DeLorenzo of 1950 Gallery presented the very first
Jean Prouvé & Serge Mouille exhibition in America at its Soho location
in New York.
1950 Gallery specializes in furniture, lighting, and design from French
and American Masters from the mid twentieth century.
After the rational apparatus here is the aesthetic mobile wall

The Seoul-based art and design collective Wolfs + Jung was founded in 2005 in Beijing by
BoYoung Jung (South Korea) and Emmanuel Wolfs (Belgium). They are famous for their Nature
V2.01 project, which explores the global themes of nature, technology and socio-cultural
trends and intends to be a catalyst for the ongoing debate around the relationship of humans,
nature and the design industry. The youngest piece in this collection is the Branch Stool (2015)
made entirely of bronze, skilfully playing with the aesthetics of real bark.

This year the gallery presents two solo shows
of work by Peter Bauhuis and Ralph Bakker
alongside a collective of the gallery’s artists.
Ralph Bakker is a contemporary jewelry artist
from Rotterdam. His pieces are based on very
geometrically-constructed structures that are
then covered in colorful enamels. Each piece
has the quality of a perfect pattern which can
be found in nature’s details.
The German artist Peter Bauhuis has mastered
the technique of casting. By oxidizing different
metals he achieves unexpected colors from
deep black to shiny white.

Caroline Van Hoek/
Brussels
Siegfried De Buck’s irremediable sweet tooth made him create
this Praline box back in 1993. It was originally designed to serve
as a gift for foreign European ministers when Belgium was
presiding over the EU Commission. Delicate pralines in a
handmade silver box are considered as the ultimate Belgian
gift! It is one of the very limited objects that goldsmith &
silversmith De Buck makes in a numbered edition. The Praline
box by Siegfried De Buck is more than just a luxurious box, it is
an elegant construction with the pralines as the main actors.
A design with a story!
Caroline Van Hoek opened in 2007 showing jewelry,
silver and related objects by contemporary international artists.

“The functional sculpture is a solid
representation of the movement of fabrics
caught in the wind.”
Windy Chair I (Orange and Blue) took inspiration from the sails
of the artist’s work Nelson’s Ship in a Bottle, which was created
for the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, London in 2010.
The incorporation of batik fabric used in Windy Chair I (Orange
and Blue) is one of Yinka Shonibare MBE’s trademarks as an
artist. It reflects his interest in the complicated relationships
between European and African cultures, after he himself grew
up in both Great Britain and Nigeria. Yinka Shonibare MBE buys
his fabrics in Petticoat Lane Market in East London.
Once a number of changes are made to the pattern digitally,
it is applied by paintbrush to the work.

Carpenters Workshop Gallery, with spaces in London, Paris and
now New York, transcends classical borders in terms of art and
design. Its proposal stands just at the intersection of these two
universes, reaching precisely a symbiosis of art and design.
Carpenters Workshop Gallery produces and exhibits functional
sculptures by international rising and already-established
artists and designers going outside their traditional territories
of expression. The gallery is actively involved in the research
and production of the limited-edition works exhibited.
The choices are guided by the research of an emotional,
artistic and historical relevance.

Trans|Form is a collection of limited edition
objects inspired by the idea of metamorphose
of form and functions. Collections of
transformed and transforming objects.
Trans|Form invokes liminality, a fluid and
malleable situation that throws everything into
question, perpetuating change and constant
mutation. A dining table becomes a rock
formation. A vase becomes a sheet of metal.
A platform becomes a lamp. Each individual
piece, restructured and reformed by hand,
bares the imprint of a multitude of gestures,
lived experiences and narratives,

With the mission of bringing Middle Eastern
design to the international design community,
the gallery exhibits bespoke projects and
limited-edition objects.
Carwan Gallery opened in Beirut to promote a
theory that recalls the concept of the voyage as
a slow, concentrated exploration, full of
discovery and exchange. Western contemporary
design is invited to interact and evolve with the
time-honored techniques of Eastern craft,
creating a flow of influences and vitality
between the cultures.
Carwan Gallery was founded in 2010 by
architects Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte and
Pascale Wakim and is the first contemporary
design gallery in the Middle East.

Karen’s trajectory into designing was
unsystematic, comprised of working
experience in film, advertising, graphic and
industrial design, and a three-year formative
mentorship with Massimo Morozzi in Milan.

Also featured in the exhibition will be a selection of important
historical furniture pieces by Ico Parisi and Attilio Colonello,
with lighting by Ignazio Gardella, Luigi Caccia Dominioni, ceramics
by Fausto Melotti and mirrors by Pietro Chiesa.
Interspersed amongst the mid-century offerings, the gallery also
presents contemporary designs by Jonathan Nesci, David Salkin and
Maura Fabbro as well as a selection of drawings by architects.
For Design Miami/ 2015, Casati Gallery is pleased to announce the
start of a collaboration with contemporary designers Philippe Nigro
and Lazzarini & Pickering.
For this installation, exhibition designer Jonathan Nesci was inspired
by the contemporary feel of the vintage documentation, noting that
“mid-century Italian design seems as relevant and innovative today as
it must have 60 years ago.”
In addition to the gallery program, Casati
participates in international art and design
fairs around the world.

When Steven and William Ladd first moved to New York together in 1999, they got a run-down
apartment in Bushwick. They were young, in a new city, and full of energy. Anything seemed
possible. They were not exactly sure what direction they were going to take, but they knew
they wanted to collaborate with each other. One night, while William was beading and Steven
was sewing, they started making up a nonsense song and sang it for the rest of the night.
It’s only lyrics were: Goody, Goody, Goody, Gumdrops. Over the years, they break that song out
anytime they feel like they are faced with the unknown, or on the brink of a major transition.

Demisch Danant presents Design Steel, an exhibition
devoted to steel furniture created in France in the 1960s
and 1970s. Works are presented in a décor inspired by the
interior architecture of Michel Boyer, and includes a
presentation of lamps produced by Verre Lumière, the most
prestigious and creative French lighting design firm of the
period. The exhibition highlights works by Maria Pergay,
Jean Paul Barray & Kim Moltzer, Jean Garçon, Michel Boyer,
and Olivier Mourgue, and lighting by Jean Pierre Vitrac,
Sabine Charoy and Etienne Fermigier.
Demisch Danant was founded in 2005 by Suzanne Demisch and
Stephane Danant. The gallery specializes in twentieth century
French design with an emphasis on the late 1950s through the
1970s and represents the work of Maria Pergay, Pierre Paulin,
Joseph André Motte, Pierre Guariche, Michel Boyer, Philippon
& Lecoq and René Jean Caillette. Curated exhibitions on
historical work are presented within environments that
reference architecture and interiors of the era. The gallery also
features exhibitions concerning the intersection of
architecture, design and art, including the work of Sheila
Hicks, Felice Varini and Krijn de Koning.
In 1968, Maria Pergay presented her first collection of
stainless steel furniture at Galerie Maison et Jardin under
the direction of decorator Jean Dive. This seminal exhibition
established Pergay as one of the most innovative French
furniture designers of her time, a visionary who almost
singlehandedly transformed stainless steel from a
commercial industrial material into a principal component
of Modern furniture. With such objects as Wave Bench (1968),
she domesticated the cold, hard, geometric effects of steel,
sometimes coupling metal with leather or fur and rendering
something altogether new – designs with a distinctively
elegant and sensual but daring air. The Wave Bench is in the
collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Nanda Vigo is one of Italy’s most sophisticated
and respected architects, both in terms of her
history and her artistic and aesthetic
creations. Erastudio Apartment-Gallery
presents works that were created by the
architect during the peak of her illustrious
career of architecture and art, where she
actively collaborated with some of the most
celebrated architects & artists, namely Giò
Ponti, Lucio Fontana and Enrico Castellani.

The gallery offices are located in an apartment
on the 3rd floor while the gallery itself is located
in the former stables in the courtyard of the
building. Each space is restored according to the
concept “less is more”. As well, the name
“Erastudio Apartment” recalls the influences of
a past atmosphere where the design works are
contextualized.
The philosophy of Erastudio – “design as
architecture” – transpires from the structure
of its two spaces in the historical building
of Via Palermo 5 in Milan.
These two coat hangers were designed by
Nanda Vigo as part of a commission for a
private house. Both have a rotatable structure
covered by a synthetic leopard-skin pelt and,
on the top, a neon light covered by a bowlshaped yellow perspex. Here Vigo presents the
conflict and harmony between light and space,
which is a trait she brings to her entire body of
work, as an artist, architect and designer.
Erastudio Apartment-Gallery was born in 2010
from the experience and professionalism of
Architect Patrizia Tenti.

Nanda Vigo went on to formulate a chronotopical
theory of space and time that was completely
original and autonomous to art. She went on
with the precise intent of probing and deepening
the possibilities of sensorial stimuli obtained
by the use of materials typical in the industry,
such as glass, mirrors and neon light, and
organized a unified and encompassing reality.

2015 marks a year of major events for design
icon Wendell Castle: the publication of his
highly anticipated catalogue raisonné,
a comprehensive documentation of an epic
career covering 1958-2012; a major solo
exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Design,
New York that opened in October; and his
second solo exhibition of new work at
Friedman Benda in Chelsea. Happiness (2015),
with its chip-carved, double-cantilevered
seat arising from a cluster of volumetric
forms illustrates a complex and surprising
new chapter for Castle. Wendell Castle’s
groundbreaking unification of sculpture and
furniture has inspired and influenced
generations of artists and designers and
significantly contributed to the acceptance
of design as a significant art form. Now in his
sixth decade of working, Castle explores and
innovates with materials and form at every
turn, and has had a long record of acclaim.
Steady acquisition by over 50 public
institutions over the past decades gives
Wendell Castle’s work indelible historic
importance.

Under emergency wartime conditions during
the winter of 1939–40, Ateliers Jean Prouvé
adapted the system they had developed the
previous summer for recreational buildings
to the military market.
The baraque de campagne, which could be
assembled in 3 hours by only 2 men,
accompanied the Army during the first few
months of the War. Ateliers Jean Prouvé
produced only a few hundred of the 4×4
meters module, and this unique example is
the only remaining structure.

Ferembal factory in Nancy, France.
Galerie Patrick Seguin showcases the talent of twentieth
century French designers including Jean Prouvé, Charlotte
Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret, Le Corbusier and Jean Royère.
For more than 20 years, Galerie Patrick Seguin has been
working strenuously to promote the demountable houses
of Jean Prouvé internationally. The gallery currently

Elements of Architecture are produced more as sculptures than design;
it is never about designing furniture, but more a question of architectural
style and of each architect’s personal signature and excellence. They are
produced in limited editions of five.
Maisons d’Edition is a small nomad house that must be demountable and
sustainable. Whether ‘bijou’ or ‘folly’, each of these small houses
correspond to the architect’s or artist’s personal signature, based on
innovation. Designed as hotel suites, easily assembled, their surface is
maximum 400 square feet, produced in limited edition; edited and
numbered in 8 ex. + 4 artist’s proofs.
Galerie Philippe Gravier has developed two concepts: “Maisons d’Edition”
between art and architecture and “Elements of Architecture” between
architecture and sculpture.

The Dutch furniture designer and architect Gerrit
Thomas Rietveld (1888–1964) was one of the
principal members of the Dutch artistic movement
called De Stijl. De Stijl or “The Style” was a group of
idealist artists and architects who wanted to create
a new kind of art, architecture and design in order to
raise a disillusioned humanity from the horror
caused by World War I. Their utopian philosophy
formulated a new vision for modern life. It was
meant to be the ultimate style.
Rietveld’s most famous designs are his Red and Blue
Chair (1919), Zig-Zag chair (1934) and the Rietveld
Schröder House (1924) in Utrecht. The Zig-Zag
chairs, presented by Galerie VIVID for this edition of
the fair, remain one of the most radical formulations
in furniture design. When Rietveld worked on his
famous chair between 1932 and 1934 he described it
as a divider of space, like a screen, in contrast to the
cage-like space of a four-legged chair.

Galleria Rossella Colombari presents a re-evocation of the style of Giò Ponti, inspired by
the colors and materials so dear to the architect.
The presence of a substantial number of pieces, mostly from the 1950s, allows for the
coexistence of opposing tendencies: from the classicism typical of the twentieth century,
to the passion for unbridled decorativeness as well as modernism in its purest form.
“Everything moves from cumbersome to lightweight, from thick to thin, from opaque to
transparent, from dark to light, from colorless to colorful, from fragmentary to unitary,
from complex to linear.Whoever moves in the opposite direction commits an error...
My constructions are a play on spaces, surfaces, and volumes which offer the viewer
different perspectives: a “machine”, or a large-scale abstract sculpture, not meant to
be viewed from the exterior but from the interior, to be penetrated and traversed…
They are meant to be observed by allowing the eye to wander continuously.”

In 1991, Rossella Colombari founded her
second gallery in Milan and widened her
concentration to masterpieces of twentieth
century design by architects such as Giò Ponti,
Osvaldo Borsani, Ico Parisi, Franco Albini,
Fontana Arte, Joe Colombo, Ettore Sottsass,
and Alessandro Mendini.
In the early years, she dedicated herself to
the research and promotion of the works
of Carlo Mollino, greatly contributing to the
appreciation of his production.
Rossella Colombari represents the fourth
generation of a family of antique dealers from
Turin. In the early 1980s, she founded her first
gallery, pioneering the development of
twentieth century design collecting.
In his interiors, Ponti often employed pieces designed by friends who he admired. In this
occasion, Galleria Rossella Colombari reclaims this concept, contemporaneously presenting
pieces by Giò Ponti, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Carlo Mollino and Osvaldo Borsani, as well as other
designers from the period.

Pierre Paulin had the privilege to be during
the sixties and the seventies the unique
representative of French design abroad.
Paulin uses a smoothed, curved, colored
design. Beyond the plastic forms, it is a work
on structure: to make an armchair in a ‘tongue
shape’ requires engineering and a rigorous
technique. Despite the fact that abroad he is
celebrated, exhibited, respected by editors,
cultural agencies and the public, he remains
unknown in his own country. Paulin’s success
arrived in 1953, with his entry at le Salon des
Arts Ménagers, where his era of lightness,
simplicity and sensuality started. It is in his
modern approach – using radical and formal
innovation – and functionalism that Paulin
breaks with his peers and models.

This unique table was gifted to Jean Prouvé by Pierre Jeanneret in 1943 and stayed in his

most important of twentieth century design.
“This table – the setting of joyous moments – with its original and gentle form
designed for the Prouvé family, is representative of the unobtrusive, moving
association of two outstanding men who, throughout their lives, remaining discreet
and out of the limelight, used their creativity for the well-being of others.”

Magen H Gallery/
New York
Székely’s enormous output of ceramics,
furniture and public sculpture flowed from
a conviction that art should not reside
in galleries, that it should instead be fully
integrated into the flow of modern life.
Beginning his career as an engraver and
poster artist, he understood art as a
form of communication and he developed
a language of signs that were to be read
intuitively in the graphic context of his works.
In his nonrepresentational sculpture,
Székely at all times emphasizes the physical
properties of his materials: their texture,
color, crystalline structure and weight.
He allows his ideas to grow out of his media,
whether it be wood, stone or metal, so that
the matter of his sculptures lives through
the forms, sparingly shaped by the artist’s
hand. Though inspired early on by
Surrealism, Székely soon dispensed with
its psychological and literary aspects,
choosing instead to create abstract, organic
sculptures which allowed for a range of
emotional responses rather than programmed
interpretations. Their freeform quality and
rounded shapes may by turns inspire delight,
harmony or peace.
“Le Chasseur sculptural wall is
a perfect example of the harmony between
material and form.”
Since 1997, Magen H Gallery has pioneered
revolutionary and significant design in
sculpture, decorative arts, architecture and
ceramics. With special emphasis given to
French post-war designers, the collection
progresses the artistic dialogue between
these historically significant works and
contemporaries.
Magen H Gallery is pleased to present a
collection of works that explores the
different aesthetic and tactile qualities in
the use of materials such as bronze, iron,
steel and marble.

One of George Nakashima’s most original and innovative
forms, the Long Chair was his late 1940s take on the traditional
chaise longue. This version from 1952 was made in cherry with
cotton webbing, and clearly expresses the architectural and
modernist approach to design that dominated his later work.

This carpet echoes back over one hundred
years ago to a time when carpets were not
only an integral part of daily life, but also
among the highest art in Persian culture.
This example is especially important as it
was created in the workshop of Haji Jalili,
the foremost carpet master of the period in
the Tabriz region. Likely created for a wealthy
patron, this is a very unique piece because
of its content, style and overall aesthetic.
In particular, this tree of life design changes
our understanding of what we commonly
perceive as an antique Persian carpet. Using
only natural dyes, the rich earth tones are
striking to this day and have lost none of their
potency. Crafted from pure wool, the design
is hand-knotted to create a beautifully
intricate work of art. Dating back to the
1870s, this carpet has only grown finer with
age, a testament to its quality and timeless
elegance.
In addition to an outstanding selection of
antiques, Orley Shabahang elevates
contemporary carpet weaving to the highest
form of functional art. While implementing
traditional artistic methods, Orley
Shabahang designs and customizes its own
collection of contemporary Persian and
Turkish carpets – sure to be the antiques of
the future.
Orley Shabahang deals only in heirloomquality antique and contemporary carpets.
With one of the finest antique collections in
the world, specializing in nineteenth century
Persian antiques, Orley Shabahang takes
great pride in the breadth of its inventory
and superior quality of its antiques.

Following Ornamentum’s acclaimed
premier of David Bielander’s gold
Cardboard bracelets at Design Miami/
Basel, Bielander broadens the theme
and his play on the recognized,
established concepts of value and
beauty with his latest Cardboard Crown
necklaces and bracelets for a very
special presentation at Design Miami/.
Bielander hides nobility in plain sight,
laboriously creating by hand
a wearable piece with substantial
material value disguised as the creations
of a child first discovering scissors and
stapler. The observer of these works may
not recognize that they are looking at
something precious, and it is up to the
discretion of the wearer to let them in on
and allow them to marvel at the secret,
or to allow them to continue on their way
in the belief that they have found
something about which to chuckle
smugly. We have all likely worn a
cardboard crown at some point in our
childhood, and we all probably have the
desire to be bestowed with a crown of
regality on occasion. In the latest works
by David Bielander this crown is
accessible, camouflaged as the role-play
headdress of the kindergartener within
us and wearable as a necklace.
Founded in 2002 with an eye towards
the conceptual side of the jewelry
field, Ornamentum is known as the
source for intelligent, provocative and
historically-important works from a
roster of the most consequential
international designers/artists –
established and emerging. Placing
important works in numerous public
and private jewelry, art and design
collections worldwide, Ornamentum
consults with collectors, museum
institutions, architects, designers
and consultants who seek to
build the strongest collections of
contemporary jewelry and related art
and object works.

“I have chosen to highlight new furniture
designer Brian Thoreen’s coffee table from his
very first collection. I love this table for
so many reasons, one being that it reminds me
of the work of one of my favorite vintage
designers, Giò Ponti, but it is in no way
derivative of his work. Brian shares Giò’s
passion for brass, marble and geometric forms
that evolve from nature.
I love brass as a material, and its warmth
combined with the organic beauty of the three
types of marble is unexpected and strikingly
beautiful. I commissioned Brian to make
a special version of his signature table for
Design Miami/, a table of the same design
as shown here, but with three types of green
marble, to reflect the lush and beautiful
backdrop of Miami with its green seas and
verdant vegetation.” – Patrick Parrish

Ritsue Mishima was born in Kyoto, Japan,
in 1962. She moved to Venice in 1989.
As an artist, she works in close collaboration
with Venice’s highly-skilled glass artisans
throughout the whole process, watching
and adjusting as the initial design changes
and transforms. For her, embracing such
interaction, both with artisans and with the
constantly changing materials, is an important
creative element that runs throughout her
work. While most Venetian glass is richly
colored, Ritsue takes advantage of its inherent
high clarity by leaving her works perfectly
untinted.
Specializing in contemporary decorative arts, Pierre Marie Giraud represents international
artists working with glass, ceramics and silver, and collaborates with designers for the
production of unique objects and limited editions. A rich selection of modern and
contemporary pieces makes the gallery’s ceramics program particularly noteworthy.

“I leave them clear so they melt into their
surroundings, the light passing through
so that only the contours remain, lending
a floating ethereal quality.”
– Ritsue Mishima
Unbound by convention, Mishima challenges
herself constantly to plumb the possibilities
of glass, always finding new expressions that
breathe fresh new perspectives into the
thousand-year old tradition of Venetian glass.
All her works are unique.

The Afreaks series is comprised of fantastical
beaded objects co-created by The Haas
Brothers with The Haas Sisters, a group of
women from South African townships. Each
design begins as a sketch by Niki and Simon
Haas and then, through the beading process,
is imbued with the beader’s personal sense of
color and pattern. To create the threedimensional detailing on the works, Simon
Haas also developed beading algorithms that
comprise a proprietary operating system
based on the recreation and manipulation of
patterns and rhythms found in nature.
The resulting design works are extraordinarily
expressive forms that embody the history
of indigenous beading cultures as well as the
Haas’ unique design aesthetic.

VES-EL is a unique innovative collaboration between British
furniture maker Gareth Neal and internationally renowned
architect Zaha Hadid, initiated by the V&A Museum, London as
part of the ‘Wish List’ project exhibited during the London
Design Festival 2014. Gareth Neal comments on how these
sculptural and beautifully-crafted pieces, made by Benchmark
Furniture, were conceived and finally constructed: ‘I was keen
to take advantage of the Hadid studio’s advanced computer
modelling software, pushing the boundaries of digital tools.
I was particularly interested in the idiosyncrasies of traditional
hand processes such as a hand thrown pot, or a raised piece of
silverware and how simulating these could be achieved
through digital imitation. Through using the traditional vessel
form as a starting point and subverting its appearance to
dramatic extremes, mimicking traditional carving techniques
I hope the pieces will embed the design with a sense of the
handmade through the arm of a robot, questioning the viewer’s
perceptions of craft and the handmade.’
Based in Mayfair London since 1999, Sarah Myerscough Gallery promotes formal and aesthetic innovations within the contemporary
visual arts by breaking down boundaries between fine art, craft, design and architecture. As a multidisciplinary platform, the gallery
promotes quality of process and practice across disciplines, with a particular focus on unique or limited-edition pieces in wood design.
For Design Miami/ 2015, Sarah Myerscough has selected designers whose works explore innovative conceptual and technical trends
in contemporary woodworking. The museum-quality designers investigate the relationship between function and form using traditional
techniques as well as new technologies to create sculptural pieces.

Cavallina Argento is a key component of
Body Building by Milan-based Italian design
duo Alberto Biagetti and Laura Baldassari.
Curated by Maria Cristina Didero, the show
explores the idea of the body, its potential
and the discipline of perfection. It teases our
perceptions and creates a short-circuit
between aesthetics and function, challenging
our expectations. The Body Building
“anti-gym” consists of unique pieces made
of precious materials and exquisite details,
executed with the incomparable precision
synonymous of the excellence of Italy’s
hand-made tradition. Transformed by the eyes
of the designers, Cavallina Argento is inspired
by the pommel horse, used for one of the most
demanding and acrobatic disciplines of men’s
gymnastics, which becomes a bench in silver
and pink leather. Rigorously following this logic
the rings of male gymnasts become an
elaborate chandelier; traditional Swedish wall
bars become a luminous object upholstered in
nude-pink leather with brass details; the pink
crystal top of a coffee-table rests on steel
dumbbells; the leather carpets are inspired by
the multi-layered markings of sports courts.
Every piece of the Body Building collection
turns the spotlight back onto the human
body – making it, once again, the center of
attention – and of the home.
Secondome is a design platform that focuses on
worldwide emerging designers and innovative projects.
The gallery dedicates its installation space to the design
works it hosts; each piece, as a collection or limitededition series, speaks louder than words in its whimsical
nature of subject versus material.

With subtle harmony of lines and curves, Bahk’s new Mirror
series Trans-15apr-02 convey a natural beauty achieved in the
honor of the nobility and dignity of the Joseon Gentleman’s
culture and philosophy. The curvature resulting from the
meeting of vertical and horizontal lines in the work creates
a unique tension. His designs communicate through strength
and fragility, wit and humor, sound and light. In this sense,
his works are created based on human factors, not
ergonomics, and stress thoughtful consideration and efficient
communication.
Trans-15apr-02/ BAHK Jong Sun, 2015/ Walnut, zelkova, ebony, copper/ 42.6 × 27 × 57.5 cm/ Courtesy of Seomi International
The designs of Bahk Jong Sun focus primarily on the concept
of minimalism and moderation; with very little in way of
superfluous or overly artistic elements. What he tries to
suggest is absolute horizontality and verticality as well as
precise efficiency. Based on the aesthetics of the simplicity
and the beauty of the traditional Korean house, Hanok, and
the gentleman’s furniture in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, he combines his experimentalism with the
practicality of Scandinavian designs and Shaker style.
Bahk follows the philosophy of “emptying,” valued by Joseon
Dynasty scholars, who pursued a practical aesthetic based
on Confucian principles.
Seomi International opened to the public in 2003 in Seoul, Korea with the goal of presenting
a new interpretation of design. Seomi International has introduced the most significant and
exceptional contemporary Korean design that reflects the aesthetics and culture of Korea.
To enhance the aesthetic of modern Asian organicism, the recent versions of works,
meticulously hand-made by creators, possess their own context and reveal a unique design.
They become iconic works and reflect modern ideas toward the principle and philosophy of
craftsmanship and architectural naturalism.

The patterned Isibheqe cabinets are the
latest addition to the Kassena series –
the first of which was produced in 2012.
The shape of the Kassena cabinets is inspired
by the hand-painted adobe structures built
by the Kassena people, who live in the Tiébélé
region on the border of Ghana and Burkina
Faso. The geometric patterns wrapped
around the cabinets actually represent two
literary texts in the Sotho and Tsonga
languages, written in the Pan-Southern
African writing system called Isibheqe
Sohlamvu, or Ditema tsa Dinoko.

This Isibheqe script is developed through the
symbolic design traditions of the Southern
African region, such as Sotho litema murals
or Zulu amabheqe beadwork. Primarily for use
with Nguni, Sotho-Tswana, Tsonga and Venda
languages, the Isibheqe script combines
letters representing the key phonetic
features of those languages into geometric
syllabograms. Each triangle or circle shape
in the vertical lines of text on the cabinets
represents one syllable of the text.
As a decolonial alternative literacy, the
writing system is an Africanist technology
designed to advance Southern African
language literacies. The Isibheqe cabinets
engage the literary force of this indigenous
writing system, and together with the
Kassena-inspired shape, create a poignant
piece of Pan-African visual art.
“Their contemporary, angular design
has a bold, upbeat energy that makes
their objects and furniture immediately
desirable and urban cool.”

Thomas Fritsch has participated in Design

Design Miami/, he presents his personal
selection of Masterpieces of French Ceramics
from 1945 to 1970, some of them unique.
The gallery has organized solo exhibitions of
artists such as Pol Chambost (2006), Michel
Anasse (2011), Suzanne Ramié – Atelier
Madoura (2012), André Aleth Masson (2013) and
Jacques & Dani Ruelland (2014).
He is acknowledged as the specialist on

Véra Szekely, born in Hungary, studied
Decorative Arts in Budapest. In 1946 she met
Pierre Szekely (her future husband) and
André Borderie. The three of them formed a
group known as “Borderie Szekely” which
created together until 1957. From 1958, she
started working alone. She created this table
that same year with a lava top made of three
parts resting on a metallic base. This unique
piece, rediscovered in a Saint-Jean-de-Luz
private collection, with its abstract decor is a
great example of abstraction in the Decorative
Arts: beautiful in its use and useful in its
beauty. This idea was supported with strength
by a number of French ceramists of her
generation and was well-represented during
the Formes Utiles exhibition of which she
is one of the important figures. This work by
its sumptuous abstract decor also illustrates
the multiple qualities of this artist, ceramist
and sculptor.
Thomas Fritsch opened his gallery featuring

The Lumière lamps appropriate contemporary projector technology while paying homage
to the pioneers of the medium. The double meaning of Lumière – referring to both the French
word for light and the inventors who popularised modern cinema – reflects its dual function.
Acting alone, each lamp lights up through the projection of moving images on the inner
surface of the glass bulb. Acting in multiples they orchestrate into a cinematic spectacle.
Commonplace Studio is the Netherlands-based design practice of Jon Stam and Simon de
Bakker, whose work focuses on context-driven objects, quality craftsmanship and quiet
interactions. The studio frames autobiographical content, while addressing contemporary
issues such as the increasing lack of tactility and other challenges posed by the digital.
Commonplace Studio works in both an autonomous and commercial context. In 2013 the
Studio was awarded the Designers of the Future Award at Design Miami/ Basel.
We understand designart as the grey zone

Spotlights
Premiering at Design Miami/ 2015 Audi presents Spotlights
by Humans since 1982, inspired by the Audi e-tron quattro
concept.
The sporty SUV provides an outlook on the brand’s first
large-series electric vehicle and proves to be pioneering in
its segment at the very first glance. It follows the Audi
“Aerosthetics” concept, combining technical measures for
reducing aerodynamic drag with creative design solutions.
The Audi e-tron quattro concept serves as the inspiration for
a monumental installation by Humans since 1982.
Three oversized spotlights arranged around the vehicle
project stunning video sequences; referencing the car’s main
characteristics while simultaneously reflecting the power
of nature.
Born in 1982, Per Emanuelsson (Sweden) and Bastian Bischoff
(Germany) founded their studio in 2009. Their client list
contains the world’s most influential art collectors,
international museums and global corporations, and their
work has been shown at museums, galleries and auctions in
London, New York, Paris, Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, New Delhi,
Seoul, Miami, Milan, Brussels, Stockholm, and Basel.
“Fascinating ideas seem to like not being detected.
That’s why they are fascinating. And they seem to
hide on the edges of man-made realms. Find those
ideas by mixing physics with fashion, art with medicine,
technology with philosophy, cosmetics with
astronautics, food with architecture, religion
with humor...”

Audi has commissioned installations by international
designers and architects including Moritz Waldemeyer,
Bjarke Ingels, Reed Kram, Clemens Weisshaar and
Konstantin Grcic, thus underlining the brand’s commitment
to fostering design culture. Each of Audi’s installations
has highlighted key elements of Audi’s technological
advancements and married automotive design with the most
current developments in product, graphic, digital design,

Long-term partner Swarovski returns to Design Miami/ with another iconic installation that
reinforces the crystal brand’s commitment to supporting designers and expanding the
vocabulary of the design world. For Design Miami/ 2015, Swarovski commissions Fernando
Romero Enterprise (FR-EE), the Mexico City-based global architecture and design practice,
to create an installation that explores humankind’s relationship with the sun.
Titled El Sol, the installation is a vast geodesic structure, designed to scale, one billion times
smaller than the sun, and composed of 2,880 custom–made precision-cut Swarovski crystals.
FR-EE’s Founder and Creative Director Fernando Romero found inspiration for his design in the
sacred geometry used by the ancient Aztecs and Mayans in constructing their pyramids,
which were built as a means to monitor celestial events. Romero endeavors to pay homage to
this legacy while also employing modern technologies in creating the structure, which required
over 350 hours of engineering work and three months of design and technical development at
Swarovski’s headquarters in Wattens, Austria.
El Sol features a smooth outer surface made up of an intricate puzzle of four different
types of specially-developed crystals covered in Swarovski’s unique Aurora Borealis coating.
Faceted internally, the crystals augment the light emitted from the installation’s core;
a spherical pool of LEDs whose light is refracted by the facets.
Visitors of the installation are provided with a specially developed crystal lens for their
phone’s camera that refracts light, creating a prism-like, kaleidoscopic effect.

In October 2015 FENDI inaugurates its new
headquarters in the iconic Palazzo della Civiltà
Italiana, also known as Square Colosseum,
set in the Esposizione Universale Roma (EUR)
area originally built for the 1942 World’s Fair.
Guglielmo Ulrich was among the countless
designers, artists and intellectuals called upon
in the 1930s to give shape to this “new” city;
he designed furniture that was in perfect
dialogue with the suspended monumentality
of the buildings. The Second World War
prevented the fair from ever taking place and
ensured that the commissioned designs would
stay on paper for the longest time.

For Design Miami/ 2015 FENDI takes
inspiration from Ulrich’s designs to give life to
unique design pieces. Combining tradition with
innovation and expressiveness with poise,

initially conceived for seven decades ago.
The space at Design Miami/ itself becomes an
homage to the new Rome envisioned in the EUR
and Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana with its grand
structures and pervading light. Through an
unexpected twist, the monumental marble
used to build this new city is transformed into
delicate, translucent light fixtures, while these
newly-realized pieces take center stage,
dominating the space.

Creative Edge/
The Egg Café
So we bring you The Egg—
Design Miami’s exclusive café.
A simple design object and a brilliant
ingredient. We approached the idea
of developing a cafe at Design Miami/
the way we approach entertaining,
as a collaboration between Chef/
food and food/design. Cuisine is not
a singular idea but a coming together
of innovative concepts and diverse
cultures. With this in mind, owner/
creative director Carla Ruben tapped
Los Angeles Chef Flynn McGarry
alongside our celebrated Creative
Edge Chefs to create a special menu
that honors Design Miami/. Ruben
has been called a food visionary for
her ability to combine her culinary
expertise with her impeccable vision
to execute flawless experiences.
“First and foremost, I believe
that food creates an immediate
response,” says Carla Ruben,
“which is why I place so much
importance on both presentation
and taste.”
Creative Edge has been the
cornerstone of New York City
entertaining for over 25 years. Most
recently we have expanded with the
opening of our new South Florida
catering and events division and our
10,000 square foot Creative Edge
Parties Design Lab. We never stop
innovating. The Egg—a new
approach to edible innovation—
now at Design Miami/ and launching
2016 in the Miami Design District.
Chocolate Terrarium/ Matcha Green Tea With Ginger Chocolate Mousse, Buttermilk Chocolate Cake And Yuzu Dew Drops
We are Creative Edge and we believe
food should be simple and brilliant. Draped Nimbostratus by Danish architect and artist Cecilie Bendixen was born from her PhD
on the sound-absorbing qualities of textile used as architecture.
Draped Nimbostratus investigates the architectural and sculptural potential of sound
absorption. The title both refers to the cloud motif and to the way the textile hangs.
Only the technique is chosen by the artist—textile suspended from strings—whereas the
form is created naturally from the effects of gravity and the inherent qualities of the fabric.
The woolen material gives a feeling of great acoustic comfort, which is further enhanced
by the visual expression of the clouds, forming a poetic and embracing shield. The flock
of clouds, poetically drifting over the Design Talks area at Design Miami/, run in diagonal
directions and represent the largest site-specific textile installation ever presented at the
fair, covering an area of more than 800 square feet.
Cecilie Bendixen is represented by Galerie Maria Wettergren. Her interdisciplinary approach
mixing science, art, architecture, design and crafts, makes her a significant contributor to
the contemporary design world.

for Design Miami/
Design Miami/ Market
The Design Miami/ Market brings a new kind of product to the fair, with a curated selection
of design-driven retail that features unique brands and independent retailers offering custom
and limited-edition objects, ornaments, accessories and edibles.
Pierre Le-Tan tells a typical Miami story in his signature
style and whimsical voice; populated by flamingos,
crocodiles, Art Deco architecture, palm trees and Key
lime pies.
Le-Tan’s timeless handcraft conjures the personality
and skill of the maker. Untouched by digital technology,
the French illustrator’s hand-drawn sketches continue
the ongoing story of collaborations and commissions that
have been developed by Design Miami/ in recent years.
The life of this portfolio of sketches extends beyond the
fair’s unique identity for 2015 through an exclusive
collaboration with J.Crew. The New York-based brand
has partnered with Design Miami/ on a capsule collection
featuring 11 limited edition accessories for men and
women, including scarves, socks, bow ties, umbrellas
and other giftables. Each piece will showcase Le-Tan’s
cross-hatch imagery in the quintissential blues, greens,
pinks and tans of Miami.
The capsule collection is available through the fair’s
new Design Miami/ Market and select J.Crew stores
in London, Paris, Hong Kong, Miami and at jcrew.com
Each year Design Miami/ will commission an emerging talent to design the Market.
This first edition is imagined and produced by local designer Emmett Moore.
Moore’s version of the Market plays with the notion of a traditional outdoor marketplace and
draws heavily on South Beach for inspiration. The Market brings the beach to Design Miami/
with kiosks made of whitewashed wood and canopies reminiscent of beach loungers with their
blue vinyl strapping. The white Astroturf under foot brings the various elements together,
with the whole scene acting as a playful reminder of Miami’s tropical environment.

UNBUILT: Design Miami/ Harvard GSD
Pavilion was selected in May 2015 through
a school-wide competition open to all
Harvard University Graduate School of
Design (GSD) students. A total of 32
student teams entered the competition.
After two rounds of review, five finalist
teams were named, from which a jury
of Harvard GSD faculty and Design Miami/
representatives selected UNBUILT.
Design Miami 2015/ Pavilion
In collaboration with
Harvard University Graduate School of Design
“In the design of this pavilion, we explored
an expanded definition of ’sustainability’ that
includes the immaterial: the exchange and
evolution of ideas.”
UNBUILT is designed by a team comprising
GSD students Joanne Cheung, Doug
Harsevoort, Steven Meyer, Jenny Shen and
Yiliu Shen-Burke, enrolled in the school’s
Master in Architecture program. The team is
advised by GSD faculty and staff members
Luis Callejas (architect), Hanif Kara
(engineer), Dan Borelli (MDesS ’12 and
exhibitions director) and Benjamin Prosky
(assistant dean)
102/103
Kadhem Residence/ Ali Karimi
The UNBUILT pavilion features a range of
experimental and speculative projects
designed by members of the GSD community,
presented as a canopy of foam models.
As the name of the pavilion suggests,
most of these projects may never be built—
but for the participating students especially,
they represent important manifestations
of their emerging skills, research, and design
imagination. The pavilion provides an
opportunity for these projects to have life
beyond the walls of the GSD, provoking
reflections on the hypothetical in design.
The Kadhem Residence is a simple pavilion
for a garden compound. The compound, an old
palm tree garden, is one of the few remaining
of its kind in the country. The project is a
single occupiable wall that allows the
resident to inhabit the vertical space of the
garden, surveying the compound. The facade
aims to reduce the language of the wall
from window-door-portico to only openings,
whose orientation allows them to serve
different functions. Thus the building
itself becomes a vertical facade, a wall that
masquerades as a house and in its
masquerade allows the inhabitant to
experience the garden in its totality.
“Unbuilt designs are both tools for
learning as well as proposals for what we as
designers believe the world could be.”
Library Folly #1/ Yousef Hussein
The pavilion, situated at the entrance to the
fair, serves as a beacon and a place to
welcome visitors. The models installed on a
series of steel supports are visible from afar,
but also provide shade below; they appear
as a constellation from a distance and come
into clarity upon approach.

Domestic Hats/ Jennifer Bonner
Domestic Hats explores ordinary roof
typologies and rethinks the role of the
massing model in architectural
representation. Domestic Hats rejects the
constraint of smallness. For these purposes,
the massing models are scaled up to an
awkward size, they are not easily
transportable, and they don’t quite fit in the
frame of our foam wire cutter. The massing
models included in the installation are not
large enough to be considered a pavilion,
nor do they sit comfortably on a client’s
conference room table. Intentionally
inflated, these massing models merely
represent themselves. No longer a
representational stand-in for something
else, they reveal new hats for consideration
in domestic architecture.
“This pavilion is less
like a building and more
like a forest.”
Through an open call to the GSD community,
the UNBUILT team solicited digital designs
from students, faculty, and alumni across
the school’s disciplines: architecture,
landscape architecture, urban design, and
urban planning. Each design was then milled
in foam by the students to create a uniform
field of three-dimensional models.
106/107
UNBUILT was chosen from 32 initial entries by
student teams.
Shown below are pavilion proposals by the
four additional finalist teams shortlisted for
the project.
While the Design Miami/ Harvard GSD
Pavilion is a temporary structure,
it participates in the greater story
of design as a living repository
wherein the invisible knowledge within
unrealized designs becomes
collected, catalogued, and mapped.
The UNBUILT pavilion redefines the
unbuilt as not a remnant of the past,
but as a continuous present.

In ancient times as in the present, one of the
primary sources of the oil used for the
production of bitumen and asphalt was the
Near East. With the use of oil as a source of
energy in modern times, however, there has
been a shift in the commodity value of oil,
as it has become a precious substance often
referred to as “black gold.”
Yet asphalt, an amalgam of stone and bitumen,
retains its ubiquity as an essential constituent
of our urban fabric. Even in our technologically
driven society, it has remained largely
unchanged, and its beauty and potential have
been unseen. With Black Gold, Quintus
Kropholler explores new and unconventional
uses of asphalt, a material often overlooked in
our everyday lives. There are tremendous
aesthetic possibilities, from the dark sparkling
luster of its surface to the many colors and
textures to be found in its interior.

By exploiting the unique properties of asphalt,
he creates design objects inspired by the
forms found in the laboratory. Each piece is
thought of as an architectural expression
of its particular function, derived from the
geometries of the sphere, the cube,
the cylinder and the pyramid. From one piece
to the next, there is variation in color and
texture due to the shift in the constituent
stones and the cutting and polishing of various
surfaces.

ADN Galería, with Eduardo Olbés, Asian
contemporary designer based in Tepoztlán,
Mexico, will present an installation with a
unique series of pieces created specifically for
Design Curio program at Design Miami/ 2015
with the theme: “On Reflection: Smoking
Mirrors and other vanities”.
Eduardo Olbés was inspired by the symbolism
of the Aztec god Tezcatlipoca, whose name
literally translates as Smoking Mirror.
He puts it this way: “Mirrors can also be
windows one looks through. It has been said
that jade can act as a window into the soul.
Obsidian is the smoking mirror, sacred to
Tezcatlipoca, the Dark One.”
Using this as an inspiration, he conceived the
“Smoking Mirrors” series. These are
sculptures that use either obsidian or black
jade to create a reflective surface that acts as
a mirror. Although the author was inspired by
the ancient symbolism, the most attractive
aspect of this series is the universality of
mirrors as one of the most intriguing human
inventions, since they reflect both reality and
illusion.
Smoking Mirrors also reflects the
extraordinary mastery Olbés has as a designer
and artist. One can only make an incredibly
complex process look so simple after years
and years of studying and working with his
element, until the point where he masters it.

Looking to rethink how galleries present
design work, Jonathan Gonzalez looks at the
Curio as a total design piece. This total
composition imagines the booth as a “retail”
storefront. The penetrable facade allows the
gallery to present the work both as individual
crafted objects and as a humorous critique of
“retail”. The Storefront is composed of seven
individual furniture pieces and objects of
design.

Each piece selected for this show deals with
minimalist geometric form, uprooted by
intricate, crafted detailing. In the same way
that many of the pieces have contradictory or
multiple ways of engaging with them, that
binary exists in the play between simplicity
and totally crafted. Pieces that are both
serious and playful, juxtaposing a vibrant color
theory and finish with beautiful organic/raw
materials. Wonderfully aware and engaged
with colloquial aesthetics the pieces look to
elevate themselves beyond their origins to be
understood as serious moves in design.

See Better to Learn Better
From Yves Béhar/
Every designer starts with the idea of giving
the world something new, something useful,
something important. Making and designing
has been extended from atoms (products
and things) to bits (software, apps and
experiences) and touches every part of our
lives here and everywhere. Today, being a
maker means doing both, often concurrently.
The atoms need to be more relevant in our
Mini Jambox
21st century: durable, sustainable, affordable
and customizable. The bits need to deliver
experience, beauty, function and anticipate
our individual needs. Both atoms and bits
are the building block at the core of the new
businesses and brands being created right
now. They are not the afterthought they once
used to be, they are the whole story. First it is
the designer that provides the consideration,
the intentionality that enables our experience
August Smart Lock

of the world around us. Whether it’s a device
that lets you listen to music anywhere you
go, or a pair of affordable eyeglasses that
enable disadvantaged youth to finally see
the chalkboard in their classroom, people
recognize good design and they seek it out.
And so almost by default, what good design
does is accelerate the adoption of new
ideas. This new century is about disrupting
old industries. Designers, coders and
entrepreneurs are challenging notions that
sustainability is expensive, that technology
is hard to use, that design is not attainable
in the developing world. There is no segment
of the economy that isn’t being disrupted by
these new ideas right now. How do we create
more positive, human-centered experiences?
– design should always be accessible. There
is a false reputation that design is only for
rich societies. I would argue that people who

Kernel
are most in need of good and efficient design
are the ones who have the least. We do have
an opportunity, as designers, to bring our
work to those in need – whether it is through
a local business accelerator like SPRING in
Africa or a non-profit like See Better to Learn
in Mexico. In working with entrepreneurs from
all walks of life, and working with non-profits
from around the world, I have also come to
realize that design does make a difference
One Laptop Per Child
with efficiency and effectiveness. Sometimes
it is about materials – with the Sayl Chair
for Herman Miller, or the Clever Little Bag for
PUMA, we were able to reduce environmental
impact quite significantly. In other cases,
like our work with entrepreneurs in East
Africa with SPRING, the efficiency has to
come from the inside out – everything
from the business model, manufacturing
strategy, products and services all have

to be developed locally to maximize the
appropriate use of resources, labor and
pricing. We are entering a new Golden
Era of design: Businesses and governments
are taking cues from design and becoming
more attuned to its power to actualize
ideas more than ever. And with this, it is our
obligation to turn that lens to where design
is needed the most. I believe design’s
generous instincts will be returned in
great multiples. Winning this award, being
recognized as a Design Visionary by

Architect’s
Newspaper
The Architect’s Newspaper
presents the latest edition
of A|N Interior, a special
showcase of the bestdesigned interior architecture
by architects.
In this evolving series, we wanted to
better illustrate our mission of exploring
the concept of “interior” as a condition,
looking inside everything from high-end
residential projects to museums and
Biennial venues. Architects have long
been creating interiors and we wanted to
showcase and present a design
perspective unique to those architects.
It is inspirational territory for designers
and enthusiasts alike.
A|N Interior is about architectural
interiors in a new, expanded sense.
We are looking for spaces that have 3-D
architectural qualities and features,
including thresholds, transparency,
visual depth, spatial organization, and
innovative fabrication technique, as well
as the latest fittings and furniture.
At The Architect’s Newspaper, we work
hard to deliver the best architecture and
urbanism news in concise, thoughtful
stories. A|N Interior retains the
expertise and insights of The Architect’s
Newspaper, but focuses on the
spaces inside of our favorite buildings.
We look forward to hearing your
thoughts as we continue to evolve and
expand this series.
