10 Highlights From the 20th Edition of Design Miami

Design Miami marked its 20th anniversary with “Blue Sky Thinking” – a theme that aimed to focus back on the avant-garde pieces that had defined the market in its early years. This year’s showcase included galleries and cultural actors that have held fast to collectible design's original impetus and continue to challenge the boundaries of typology, concept, and self-expression.
Dubai-based designer Nader Gammas made his Design Miami debut with his flora-inspired Vessels collection – a series of ceramic luminaries that reflect the function of designed objects and natural forms.
India’s first collectible design gallery, Æquo, presented Chamar Studio’s series of Flap Chairs, produced entirely out of rubber. The chairs reflect the potential of this material’s properties in achieving the intended function.
Philadelphia-based designer Nick Missel shaped the REM Collection Double Knot table – presented by Wexler Gallery – using fiberglass, resin, and automotive paint to produce a solid, elevated furnishing shaped like packing foam.
New York-based artist Christopher Russell presented geometrically composed vessels with a spontaneous yet methodical application of colourfully painted patchworks. The Yellow Cubist Vessel demonstrated Russell’s iterative and ever formally experimental approach to ceramics practice.
Major Italian fashion house Fendi unveiled a capsule furniture collection by British designer Lewis Kemmenoe. The chairs, cabinets, coffee tables, and back-lit wall pieces use his deeply research-based approach with artisanal tradition resulting in subversive pieces like the metallic Silver Chair.
Acting as a central anchor and display element for smaller ceramics was London-based designer Rio Kobayashi’s freestanding Tundra shelf. Created using endemic redwood, the piece was designed in reflection of the architecture in California-based JB Blunk’s self-built home.
Friedman Benda exhibited Formafantasma’s Robo Lamp, produced in cherry wood and LEDs, signalling the relationship between design, the domestic sphere, and the idea of an archetype.
Los Angeles-based luxury design practice Nuova Group showed its Curio as a reconstituted domestic interior from 1971, complete with archival upholstery, candles, and Andrea sconce designs.
Jack Simonds, a Brooklyn-based designer, exhibited the A protea lamp combining natural dried protea flowers with burned bamboo, cast bronze, and hand-carved marble to create an almost-decayed light source that is otherworldly yet grounded.

yayoi kusama’s infinity room premieres alongside 200 of her works at NGV melbourne

The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) in Melbourne is displaying a new world premiere Infinity Mirrored Room by Yayoi Kusama as part of her retrospective, opening on December 15th 2024.
The Infinity Mirrored Room is called My Heart is Filled to the Brim with Sparkling Light (2024), and features a boundless visual realm through reflective surfaces, surrounding visitors in the illusion of a celestial universe.
The Yayoi Kusama retrospective will showcase 200 works, including ten immersive installations, spanning the artist’s eight-decade career, positioning her infinity rooms in dialogue with her innovations in painting, sculpture, fashion and more.
This installation uses mirrored space to create the illusion of an infinite celestial expanse with points of light orchestrated to generate a rhythmic interplay of brightness and shadow, encouraging reflection on one's place in the universe.
Kusama's signature use of mirrors, introduced in her first mirrored environments in the 1960s, continue to dissolve spatial boundaries in her unique vision.
The exhibition also features the Australian premiere of Kusama's monumental sculpture, Dancing Pumpkin (2020), a 5-meter-tall yellow and black polka-dotted piece, and of The Hope of the Polka Dots Buried in Infinity Will Eternally Cover the Universe (2019), an installation of tentacular forms.
NGV’s Great Hall will host Dots Obsession, an installation of massive inflated spheres while over 60 trees along the St Kilda road area are already dressed in pink-and-white polka dots as part of Ascension of Polka Dots on the Trees.
The retrospective will be the most comprehensive Kusama exhibition ever presented in Australia, and will occupy the entire ground floor of NGV International tracing Kusama’s diversity and innovations in her art form.
Other works that will be on display include Chandelier of Grief, 2016/2018, The Spirit of the Pumpkins Descended to the Heavens, 2017, With all my love for the tulips, I pray forever, 2013, and Invisible Life, 2000/2024.
The exhibition will run until April 21st, 2025 at the NGV International, located at 180 St Kilda Rd, in Melbourne, Australia.
Kusama’s installations, from the past or ongoing, symbolize some of the artist's efforts in helping the audience to grapple with the ontological dread surrounding the ‘eternal void’ through a realistic experience so that it is experienced with an open heart and joyful happiness.

She also owns a marble banana from Carrara, Italy, playing on materials and value, turning a luxurious item into an everyday object.
Some of her works include a calendar that transforms time-tracking into a visual experience, a fruit bowl that embodies the timeless cycle of nurture and harvest. She also made a place to drop a bag, sit down to tie shoelaces or just take a moment named CC-01 Bench. Alfreðsdóttir worked on the Collection Light for FÓLK REYKJAVÍK along with other projects.
She still finds time to work on other projects, serving as both an art director and prop stylist. If Theodora decides to pivot to another area she would love to dive into the collaborative world of photoshoots, where the behind-the scenes tricks bring the final image, not to mention the energy of working closely together with a creative team.
