A Deeper Dive: Design Miami/ Tour Highlights


The guided tours I led through Design Miami/ sought to help visitors navigate the fair by taking a deep dive into the content, illuminating themes and historical continuity in the contemporary work. What follow are five highlights from the tour, representing a range of themes I found throughout the work on display – nature, materials, process, and play.

A wilted icon at Design Miami/


With a dark streak that carries across their work, it is not surprising that Dutch design firm Studio Job has anthropomorphized the Eiffel Tower, wilted in sad defeat.

Design and food at Design Miami/


Design and food continues to be an area of design practice garnering attention as it pushes at the boundaries of what we think of as traditional design. (Full discloser, I am organizing an exhibition on the subject.) Case in point: Design Miami/’s first BE OPEN Forum includes eating designer Marije Vogelzang on its roster.
