La prossima edizione di Design Miami/ Basel 2011 si svolgera’ dal 14 al 18 Giugno e sara’ il primo capitanato dalla nuova Direttrice Marianne Goebl.
The June 2011 edition of Design Miami/ Basel will see an increase in both returning and first-time exhibitors, all of whom represent the world’s leading galleries specializing in 20th and 21stcentury collectible design. Significant works held by this vibrant roster of more than forty international galleries will be presented, alongside the fair’s progressive cultural programming on two floors of Hall 5 in Basel’s Messe Complex. The show will be held June 14-18, with a special VIP Opening on Monday, June 13, 2011.
“Design Miami/ Basel is the strongest international fair strictly dedicated to twentieth and twenty-first century design,” says Patrick Seguin of Galerie Patrick Seguin. “Basel occupies a strategic geographical position in Europe, and collectors know they will only see the best the design market has to offer at Design Miami/ Basel.”
The offering of museum-quality design from more than 40 participating galleries is a testament to the fair’s status as the pre-eminent biannual event for the global design community, in large part due to the rigorous standards of the fair’s proposal-based gallery selection process.
This year’s returning exhibitors from Europe, the United States, and Asia include Carpenters Workshop Gallery, Dansk Møbelkunst Gallery, David Gill Galleries, Demisch Danant, Galerie Downtown-François Laffanour, Galerie kreo, Galerie Patrick Seguin, Galerie Perrin, Galerie Pierre-Marie Giraud, Gallery Seomi, Hostler Burrows, Johnson Trading Gallery, Jousse Entreprise, Mitterand+Cramer, Nilufar Gallery, R 20th Century, and VIVID Gallery, among many other prestigious galleries.
“Design Miami/ Basel is one of the few fairs in the world committed to the level of presentation and connoisseurship our gallery strives to achieve in our own program,” says Evan Snyderman of R 20th Century. “The parameters set forth by the fair insure that the work exhibited be at the highest level. It has been inspiring and beneficial for our gallery to be involved with the fair since its inception. As the show continues to evolve, it also gives us a unique opportunity to meet and see clients from around the world as well as clients who live in our own neighborhood in New York.”
First time exhibitors for Design Miami/ Basel this year include Galerie Doria from Paris, which specializes in furniture and decorative arts from the 1930’s including works by the Union des Artistes Modernes. Galerie Ulrich Fiedler, another first time exhibitor, is a Berlin-based gallery known for 20th century work with a specialization in the Bauhaus period. Finally, Modernity from Stockholm offers vintage high quality 20th century design with a particular emphasis on Italian and Scandinavian designers.
Participants for June 2011’s Design On/Site program, which showcases solo shows of contemporary design that push the boundaries of design, craft, and technology, include Caroline Van Hoek, Galerie BSL, Gallery Libby Sellers, Galerie Maria Wettergren, Nathalie Karg/ Cumulus Studios, Particles Gallery, and Spring Projects. Works to be shown in the Design On/Site program reflect a diverse and international selection of designers and dealers collaborating in unexpected ways to bring new pieces to market.
This year’s edition of Design Miami/ Basel will also be the first helmed by new Director Marianne Goebl, following her appointment in February 2011. “While it is still a young fair, Design Miami/ has quickly become the world’s most significant forum for exploring both contemporary and historic design,” says Goebl. “The June 2011 show will be one of the most important we’ve ever held in terms of quality of content, maturity and cultural significance—making it an incredibly exciting starting point for me.”
In addition to the stellar gallery and On/Site exhibitions, Design Miami/ Basel will offer a new program of Awards, Design Talks, and Satellite shows aimed at contextualizing the gallery presentations with a diverse and lively cross pollination of ideas from the fields of art, fashion, design, and architecture. A striking VIP Lounge hosted by HSBC Private Bank will frame the launch of the fourth Connection Collection work, a newly commissioned piece by Dutch designer Hella Jongerius. VIP guests will also enjoy personal car service by exclusive automotive partner, Audi, in the progressively luxurious A8. Swarovski Crystal Palace will make their Basel debut, premiering an innovative design presentation by avant-garde design duo Frederikson Stallard.
Design Miami/ Basel partners again with W Hotels to honor up-and-coming designers and studios that are expanding the field of design. The Award moves beyond pure product and furniture design to recognize technologically and conceptually vanguard pieces that work across multiple disciplines. Launched in 2006, the Award recognizes designers working in innovative ways—whether with new materials, new processes, or unexpected approaches. The goal of the Award is to offer the next generation of design creatives a public forum for reaching a powerful audience of collectors, dealers, and journalists. This year’s W Hotels Designers of the Future Award winners will be announced during Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2011 in Milan.
Following their successful commission from Design Miami/ in December 2010, New York-based architects Aranda\Lasch will create an innovative interior layout for Design Miami/ Basel, which abandons the typical trade show grid in favor of a nontraditional ‘scatter’ pattern. This ingenious design concept, which encourages guests to explore and engage with the fair’s unique geography in entirely new ways, will have its Design Miami/ Basel debut at June’s show.
Design Miami/ Basel 2011 confirms once again that it is the only fair of its kind. Both serious in its curatorial intent and in its playful desire to challenge established notions, Design Miami/ Basel is an essential calendar fixture for the best international galleries, collectors, designers, critics, and curators.
