What is Design Miami/Basel?

Alongside Art Basel, the world’s largest contemporary art fair, Design Miami/Basel has become the premier venue for collecting, exhibiting, discussing and creating collectible design. Design Miami/Basel is an international design fair held annually in Basel, Switzerland. It is one of the most important events in the design world, attracting designers, galleries, collectors and design enthusiasts from all over the world.

The show also features a series of events and lectures, including talks by leading designers and architects, as well as debates and book signings.

Sonogonos by Pierre Charrié

A palindrome that lulls the reader to sleep, Sonogonos oscillates in name and form between wakefulness and sleep. Craft and design infuse materials to magnify human time. To the rhythm of calming breathing, the random sound of chimes marks and accompanies the slide into contemplation. Sonogonos is the fruit and praise of time: a deeply human and universal object.

Renard Roux (Vulpes Vulpes) by Matali Crasset

This project offers an alternative to stuffed animals. To achieve this, we use the special technique of needle painting, which enables us to embroider realistically and poetically. After a first project, the scary owl, the fox takes shape. Like anti-trophies that take their place on walls, these objects pay homage to animals present in our culture through storytelling. Animal presences to magnify the animal world and show our attachment to its diversity.
