DESIGN MIAMI/ BASEL – GALLERIES PRESTIGIOUS NEW AND RETURNING EXHIBITORS REINFORCE FAIR’S INFLUENCE ON THE MARKET FOR COLLECTIBLE DESIGN

Design Miami/ Basel this June assembles the most renowned galleries from around the world specialising in limited-edition design. Celebrating its fifth edition, the fair has solidified its reputation as the preeminent destination for the international design community and an important source for private and museum collectors. This year promises to be no different, as galleries present the most sought after pieces in their collections while introducing a host of new works specially commissioned for the event.

“Design Miami/ Basel is the place where collectors and institutions can acquire work that they can’t find anywhere else,” explains Design Miami/ Director Ambra Medda. “The fair is also the place to learn about design, get acquainted with designers and meet dealers who are bolstering both cutting-edge design production and historical research.”

The 32 participating galleries are a testament to the fair’s status as an authority and reference point in the field of collectible design. While many galleries are limiting the number of events in which they participate, Design Miami/ remains an essential calendar fixture and a unique reference point for the international design community. Its location in Hall 5 of the Basel exhibition complex signals its profile as the leading fair in its field and brings the fair’s galleries within walking distance of Art Basel, so dramatically benefiting from the shared footfall between the two events.

The fair is an important platform for design galleries around the world, and heightened gallery selection standards have produced a roster of galleries that far exceeds past offerings. The gallery programme for Design Miami/ Basel has evolved – edited and transformed to show a more balanced mix of both historic and contemporary design. This year’s line-up includes the world’s leading experts dealing in 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st century furniture, lighting and objets d’art.

Returning galleries who have become an influential part of the fair’s community of dealers include Galerie Patrick Seguin, Galerie Kreo, Galerie Eric Philippe, Galerie Downtown – François Laffanour, Galerie Perrin and Jousse Entreprise from Paris; David Gill Galleries and Carpenters Workshop Gallery from London; R20th Century, Johnson Trading Gallery and Cristina Grajales Inc from New York; Nilufar from Milan; Dansk Møbelkunst Gallery from Zurich; Gabrielle Ammann // Gallery from Cologne; and the Contrasts Gallery from Shanghai.

“We have participated in Design Miami/ Basel since the first fair in 2005, and look forward to another exciting year. For me, the highlight is the new location – directly linked to the Art Basel fair. There is a crossover with collectors attending these fairs, as they now more than ever, want to invest in both art and design at the same time.”

– Patrick Seguin, Galerie Patrick Seguin

New exhibiting galleries Didier Aaron, Galerie du Passage, Galerie Anne Sophie Duval and Galerie Chastel-Marechal from Paris and Perry Rubenstein Gallery from New York will bring fresh perspectives to the rich and varied offerings of Design Miami/ Basel.

“All of the collectors with whom I work are sophisticated and interested in visual culture. For most, there’s no division between art and design; both are essential in their lives. When you have an artist with the dexterity and versatility of Richard Woods, who so seamlessly interfaces with existing architecture and design, participation in Design Miami/ Basel is not only a privilege and an opportunity… but quite frankly, a no brainer.”

– Perry Rubenstein, Perry Rubenstein Gallery

Responding to the nature of Design Miami/ as a dynamic forum for the design community, many galleries are bringing an impressive roster of designers to Basel.
