The curator of this year’s edition\, Glenn Adamson\, who just curated an exhibition dedicated to Nike at Vitra Design Museum\, chose Blue Sky as the leading theme for 2024. Forty-five world-leading galleries present contemporary and historical highlights demonstrating the power of a ‘blue sky thinking’ approach to design – past\, present\, and future. \nDesign Miami brief history\nIn 2005\, entrepreneur Craig Robins and gallerist Ambra Medda founded Design Miami following the renovation of the Miami Design District\, transformed into one of the world’s most important centers for design\, fashion\, food\, and art. During the following years\, Design Miami set up Design Miami.Basel\, and\, in recent years\, Design Miami.Paris\, Design Miami.LA.\nIn October of 2023\, Basic.Space announced the acquisition of Design Miami. Jesse Lee\, the CEO and Founder of Basic.Space\, is now the chairman of the Design Miami board\, with Jennifer Roberts remaining as CEO. \nDiscover Design Miami.Paris 2024 \n \nDesign Miami 2024: Under a Blue Sky​\nThe Blue Sky theme invites diverse engagement from exhibitors\, underpinned by a commitment to design that exceeds expectations through bold leaps of imagination\, thoughtful material innovation\, and a respect for the natural world that houses us all under one\, shared sky. Under this shared theme\, we can identify several key thematic threads. \nTaking a ‘blue sky thinking’ approach\, the theme celebrates design as a fundamentally optimistic human activity\, giving way to radical invention through conceptual and material innovation. \nThe Future Perfect (New York) reflects on the curatorial theme Blue Sky through a curated presentation of almost 100 new works from over 20 artists and designers\, including Anina Major\, Laurids Gallée\, Olivia Cognet\, Vikram Goyal\, and Sophie Lou Jacobsen. The exhibition space continues exploring bifurcation\, leveraging the concept of day and night occurring under a singular sky. \nOne-half of the booth will showcase works from a myriad of emerging and established artists\, including the likes of Chris Wolston\, Floris Wubben\, Jane Yang-D’Haene\, John Hogan\, Lindsey Adelman\, and Thompson Street Studio. This constellation of objects comprises pieces made especially for the fair alongside works that feel familiar in origin\, but represent massive leaps in skill and practice. The second side will center on New Delhi-based designer Vikram Goyal\, who is making his United States debut at Design Miami. Trained as an engineer\, Goyal’s work utilizes artisanal techniques apparent in the rich legacy of Indian craft\, to create modern and contemporary designs. \nLiving with Design: the bedroom\n​The theme also focuses on the many ways design offers insight into our living habits. Sarah Myerscough Gallery (London) will delve into the forms and dimensions of the bedroom space. The curated exhibition showcases a collection of works from designers and artists\, all centered around furnishing a bedroom. \nHighlights include an Ethereal bed and accompanying side tables by distinguished designer Marc Fish\, whose creative process focuses on material research. Tadeas Podracky\, an experimental designer based in the Czech Republic\, contributes a striking mirror – evocative of the opulent aesthetics of Rococo design. Complementing these pieces\, there’s a monumental cleft wardrobe by Peter Marigold and Tadanori Tozawa\, introducing an architectural presence to the space. Additionally\, several specially commissioned works by a diverse array of designers – including the likes of Gareth Neal\, Lin Fanglu\, Diana Scherer\, and Nic Webb – enrich the bedroom space with craftsmanship and artistic vision\, inviting viewers to reconsider the significance of their own personal sanctuaries. \nThe living room\nLamb Gallery (London) debuts in the fair’s Curio program\, presenting an immersive environment welcoming visitors into a living room setting. The Magnetic Midnight Maison exhibition unveils Lucía Echavarría’s newest capsule collection. Exploring Echavarría’s anthology of Colombian craft\, and drawing inspiration from Miami’s surrounding coastal palette and Art Deco design cues\, the furniture collection blends traditional Colombian artistry with a current Miami flair. \nDiscover Design Miami.Basel 2024 \nThe Magnetic Maison\, collection by Lucía Achavarría from Lamb Gallery \nArt design from Ukraine\nUkrainian artist\, Victoria Yakusha (Antwerp) returns to the Design Miami Curio program in 2024 to present her new collection\, Grun. Yakusha’s latest collection explores the extraordinary land of Ukrainian Polissia – home to boundless forests\, dense carpets of soft moss\, and sleepy swamps. When creating the collection\, Yakusha was inspired to create a series of works that transcend mere functionality\, to evoke an emotional response and an authentic connection to the natural world. Each design presents a unique geometry that mirrors its natural inspiration\, while dark green upholstery evokes moss-covered forest hills and features beaded details reminiscent of morning dew. \nGrun armchair by Victoria Yakusha \nFrom Italy: a Gaetano Pesce special edition with Meritalia\nIn this year’s Curio program\, Meritalia (Milan) presents the exhibition Le Edizioni del Pesce. The gallery spotlights one of the great Italian design masters\, Gaetano Pesce\, to pay homage to his creativity and ongoing creative partnership with the brand. A thread throughout previous editions of Design Miami\, Meritalia connects Gaetano’s impression in the United States with his roots in Italian design\, presenting a range of items – from umbrella racks and coat hangers to mirrors and lamps\, all showcasing his unparalleled skill in manipulating unusual materials. \nUnder One Sky: A Global Outlook\n​The theme also draws on the concept of our global community living under one sky\, with galleries from around the globe coming together at Design Miami to spotlight artistic voices worldwide.\nBased in Mumbai\, æquō Gallery (Mumbai) highlights a unique blend of India’s traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design to present a curated selection of pieces all speaking to new explorations\, narratives\, and design dialogues. This year’s presentation will feature works by Frédéric Imbert\, Valériane Lazard\, and Florence Louisy\, amongst others. Each piece embodies æquō’s philosophy: a balanced collaboration where the designer and artisan share equal prominence. Focusing on contemporary Japanese artists\, Ippodo Gallery (New York) similarly focuses on traditional materials or mediums such as ceramic\, metal\, and wood to trace the journey of recursive design\, engineering\, and prototyping over the years. \nNew Voices at Design Miami 2024\n​A stage for emerging talent\, this year’s fair will introduce an array of emerging designers and debut exhibitors including BOCCARA GALLERY\, Dobrinka Salzman\, Donzella\, Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert\, JCRD Design\, and Theoreme Editions within the Gallery program.

Dubai Design Week 2024 underscores its decade-long cultural and economic impact on the $26 billion GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) design industry (Interior and Furniture Market). Its “seniority” also makes it the leading design event in the Middle East. The 2024 edition features over 500 well-known or emerging designers\, brands and creative leaders from over 40 countries. \nDiscover Bangkok Design Week 2024 \n2023\, Dubai Design Week  \nFueled by the rapid urbanization and diversification of the economy\, with the rapidly growing population of tourists and residents\, Dubai Design Week has evolved since 2015 to become a major international design event. Its success comes from many factors. Undoubtedly\, support for local talent has played an important role\, helping to develop a platform for local and international design. \nHighlights at Dubai Design Week 2024\nOne of the main event of this edition is Downtown Design\, the Middle East’s premier design fair\, taking place November 6th to 9th on the d3 Waterfront Terrace. \nAlso in 2024 takes place Editions\, the region’s first limited edition art and design fair. Editions hosts more than 50 galleries\, collectives\, and design studios. \nDowntown Design 2021 \nThe Urban Commissions competition\nDubai Design Week’s annual design competition\, Urban Commissions\, returns this year with the theme “Tawila\,” which means “table” in Arabic. The competition invites designers and architects to explore the table beyond its form as a facilitator of common exchanges and experiences. The winner for 2024 is Altqadum\, an architecture and interior design firm from Oman. Inspired by the musical culture of the Gulf\, where communities traditionally gather around and accompany musicians\, TukTuKDum is an innovative table encouraging interaction with the audience. \nThe Abwab program\nAbwab\, which means “doors” in Arabic\, is a program that supports designers in the Southwest Asia and North Africa (SWANA) region. Each year\, Abwab commissions installations or pavilions dedicated to relevant global and regional contexts. Since 2015\, more than 180 designers from countries such as Algeria\, Bahrain\, Egypt\, India\, Iraq\, Jordan\, Kuwait\, Lebanon\, Morocco\, Pakistan\, Palestine\, Saudi Arabia\, Tunisia\, and the United Arab Emirates have participated in Abwab. For the 2024 edition\, professionals were invited to propose projects on vernacular architecture. The project also explores how architecture using local materials and techniques can interact with new environments. \nDiscover the Clerkenwell Design Week in London \nAbwab 2018 \nAs part of the Abwab program\, the public will see more than 30 projects exploring ancient technologies\, innovation\, and materials. Dubai-based architecture and interior design firm Bone will present a pavilion by prefabricated earth blocks\, created in collaboration with Fetdeterra\, a Spanish company specializing in clay architecture. Japanese architecture firm Mitsubishi Jisho Design invites the public to experience a traditional teahouse made from 3D-printed waste sawdust. Multidisciplinary technology studio DEOND\, founded by Ross Lovegrove and Ila Colombo\, explores the notion of phytotherapy\, with a “second skin” fabric infused with artificial intelligence that responds to the body’s mood. In addition to these\, other installations come from various organic and recycled materials\, including banana fiber\, soy wax\, henna\, Himalayan salt\, terracotta\, and scrap metal. \nWorkshops\, talks\, and master classes\nThe Dubai Design Week workshop program is open to all disciplines of design. The program is run by a range of facilitators\, including lecturers\, designers\, independent makers\, and cultural organizations. \nDubai Design Week also offers a Marketplace on November 9 and 10. The marketplace\, which offers handcrafted products\, is located in the heart of Dubai Design District (d3). \nThe Dubai Design District (d3)\nThe Dubai Design District (d3) is a global creative ecosystem dedicated to design\, fashion\, architecture\, and art. Located in the heart of Dubai\, d3 is a commercial district that houses multi-brand stores\, art galleries\, and showrooms\, as well as architectural and interior design studios. Various events\, such as Dubai Design Week\, Arab Fashion Week\, and Sole DXB\, are part of the Dubai Design District. \nSome of the region’s most popular events take place in d3 and attract international artists and audiences for events such as Dubai Design Week\, Arab Fashion Week\, and Sole DXB. The district also regularly hosts a number of industry conferences\, workshops\, and educational programs for people of all ages. \nWhy Visit\nDubai Design Week is an opportunity to see Dubai up close in a somewhat out-of-the-ordinary guise\, and to understand the exciting path taken by the UAE. Investment in design\, in fact\, carries out research in innovation projected into the future\, alongside the rediscovery of local materials and traditions. Design therefore expresses the desire to rediscover one’s roots\, with objects bearing a solid identity. Local products manage to create emotional bonds\, which foreign design hardly builds. Between Public Projects and Downtown Dubai\, and from this year also Editions\, Dubai Design Week is thus a comprehensive platform\, to follow the evolution of design in this area of the world. \nDubai Design Week\, November 5-10\, 2024\nFor professional and general public\nLocation: Dubai Design District (d3)\nSize: over 500 exhibitors\, 200\,000 visitors\nVisit website DubaiDesignWeek.ae for more info \nSome images from Dubai Design Week 2021\, 2022 and 2023 URL:https://designweekguide.com/event/dubai-design-week-2024/ LOCATION:Dubai Design District d3\, Business Bay\, Dubai\, United Arab Emirates CATEGORIES:Design Festivals ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://designweekguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/dubai-design-week-2022.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20241019T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20241027T180000 DTSTAMP:20250527T130144Z CREATED:20241013T163034Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250527T130144Z UID:3625-1729332000-1730052000@designweekguide.com SUMMARY:Dutch Design Week 2024 DESCRIPTION:The Dutch Design Week is an event dedicated to Dutch design that takes place in Eindhoven\, the Netherlands\, in the last week of October.

That is\, an invitation to brands and designers to show and tell themselves through their cultural background\, emphasizing the difference that distinguishes artistic production from industrial production. \nSpeaking of industrial production and design\, an unprecedented duo\, Giulio Cappellini and Giulio Iacchetti\, arrives at the Church of Saint Augustine to stage the Versilia of all time. “Abitiamo alla marinara (We live seafaring-style)” tells the design of yesterday and today through four islands + 1 dedicated to life on the beach\, from relaxation to sports\, food\, and play. The +1 island is dedicated to a new outdoor furniture collection\, designed by Giulio Iacchetti for Ezio Foppa Pedretti and presented here exclusively.  \nDiscover Courmayeur Design Week-end \nPietrasanta Design Week-end 2024.

The Sala dei Putti hosts a photography exhibition curated by Alberto Mattia Martini with shots by max&douglas\, whose title is “Inside Artist.” The collection of artists’ portraits premiers in Pietrasanta. In the Sala del Capitolo\, a painter\, Pilar Saltini\, signs canvases that become the setting for an installation of Kartell products\, curated by FABRIC. In a dialogue between art and design\, the visitor’s gaze travels into the infinite space of the polychrome canvases\, starting from the shapes and colors typical of the Kartell universe. \nPietrasanta Design Week-end 2023 \nArchitecture and design in magical Versilia\nIn the Chiostro di Sant’Agostino (Cloister of St. Augustine)\, between the arcade and the gardens\, is an installation by GBPA Architects for Medit\, with lamps by Dixpari. In Duomo Square\, a green installation by Silvia Ghirelli and Giuseppe Tortato Architetti for Kindof and VilleGiardini magazine is back. \nAlso outside the Complex\, in the magical quadrilateral of the Giardino della Lumaca (Snail Garden)\, 967Arch rethinks the green space by staging an open-air lounge signed FIM/CORO\, with the green touch of Silvia Ghirelli\, a land artist who already signed one of the most appreciated installations last year. \nDiscover Courmayeur Design Week-end 2024 \nPietrasanta Design Week-end 2024.

Here again\, outdoor beach furniture finds its natural habitat\, inviting the Design Week-end audience to discover the tradition of Versilia and the anticipation of the next stage. Here\, in fact\, is a glimpse of CourmaBeach\, the beach on the snow\, which was a success in February in Courmayeur.  \nOn the long and wonderful beach\, one of the most goliardic moments of this new edition will be the tournament of marbles\, customized with the faces of the designers\, instead of the historical cyclists. Studio Giuseppe Tortato Architetti joins the technological skills of WIP Work in Progress to create jumps and parabolics. There is also no shortage of special effects with augmented reality\, thanks to the skill and imagination of DOS Design Open Spaces. Like every year and every edition\, the sports/goliardic fractions are always captained by Cardex\, the leading partner again on this occasion\, with Sedus. \nDiscover Bangkok Design Week 2024 \nPietrasanta Design Week-end 2024.

The February edition in Courmayeur was very well received\, in fact it will return in February 2025\, from the 6th to the 9th. The credit for this result should be equally divided between the brands\, which recognize in our appointment a real opportunity to network and do business\, the Ministry of Tourism\, the municipal administrations\, which believe in this project\, and the Design Week-end Circle\, which grows from edition to edition in bringing culture and innovation.” \nParticipating as Event Partners: Cardex\, Dixpari\, FIM\, CORO\, Ezio Foppa Pedretti\, Interni Now\, Kindof\, Medit\, Sedus\, Studio Stagetti\, Unopiù\, Verde Profilo.

Established in 2018 as the Lake Como Design Fair\, curated by Margherita Ratti\, over the years\, it turned into the Lake Como Design Festival and is now in its sixth edition. Lake Como Design Festival is an annual themed event that develops in Como and around the lake. Exhibitions\, talks and events take place in historical\, unseen\, or somewhat forgotten places in Como city and the area. \nDiscover Milan Design Week  \n9+1 Yuko Sakamoto\, Contemporary Design Selection \nA Festival of design and architecture in Como\nThe festival concept aims to establish an original dialogue between history\, architecture\, design and art. Lake Como Design Festival is conceived and promoted by the association Wonderlake Como. Wonderlake Como creates editorial projects and organizes cultural events to promote Como and the surrounding area in Italy and worldwide.  \nThe Lake Como Festival 2024\nFor 2024\, the Lake Como Design Festival enriches its program with a series of exhibitions and special events in Como\, on the lake shores. The main theme of the 2024 edition is lightness. In the Como city center\, the festival will take place between the Palazzo del Broletto and the church of San Pietro in Atrio. On the other hand\, Villa del Grumello and the other locations within the Chilometro della Conoscenza (Kilometer of Knowledge) will be the stars on the lakefront. In addition\, at Villa Anna in Cernobbio and Borgovico33 in downtown Como\, there will be two special projects by Grieder Contemporary gallery. Finally\, in various locations around the city\, you will find site-specific installations by artist Valerio Eliogabalo Torrisi.  \nDiscover Milan Design Week 2024 \nJorinde Voigt-Grieder Contemporary at Borgovico 33 \nThe main theme: Lightness\n“The theme of lightness\, which we have chosen for this year\, can be declined in countless forms of creativity\,” explains festival artistic director Lorenzo Butti. “Developing exhibitions and special projects that can propose a dialogue between art and design has always been the stylistic hallmark of our program. Every year we strive to propose to our visitors a new way of looking at creativity\, placing the exhibitions in unique architectural contexts\, themselves an integral part of the exhibition itinerary.”  \nLightness in progress at Villa Del Grumello\nWithin the late Renaissance spaces of the Villa Del Grumello\, the Lake Come Design Festival 2024 will host the Lightness in Progress exhibition. It’s a selection of works\, projects\, objects and furnishings from different galleries\, design studios\, and archives on the theme of lightness. The scenic greenhouses and other spectacular sites of the Kilometer of Knowledge will instead host the projects of the Contemporary Design Selection. This is an exhibition dedicated to independent design\, curated by Giovanna Massoni for the second consecutive year. In addition\, in the villa’s ancient dockyard\, there will be the audio/video installation Paesaggi d’acqua (Water Landscapes) by Stefano Larotonda and Niccolò Nessi\, with narration by Giuseppe Innocente.  \nMilan Salone del Mobile \nThe Form of Lightness\nDowntown\, in the Palazzo del Broletto\, is the exhibition The Form of Lightness\, a look at the theme of lightness in more than 100 years of design of a fundamental element of furniture\, the chair.  \nThe 13th-century church of San Pietro in Atrio\, meanwhile\, will host Lightness on Paper\, an exhibition project created to celebrate 35 years of Lithos\, a Como-based publishing house specializing in prints and art books. The exhibition will feature new works created by some of the most well-known and appreciated Italian and international architects\, designers and creatives.  \nAmong the special projects\, a series of site-specific installations by artist Valerio Eliogabalo Torrisi will involve different city entities. Swiss gallery Grieder Contemporary\, on the other hand\, will exhibit 33 works by artist Jorinde Voigt in its Borgovico space. In its new venue at Villa Anna\, in Cernobbio\, it will set up the group exhibition Weight of Illumination.  \nDiscover CIFF Shanghai 2024 \nChilometro della Conoscenza \nContemporary Design Selection\nAt the Lake Como Design Festival 2024\, the Chilometro della Conoscenza (Kilometer of Knowledge) park is hosting the Contemporary Design Selection\, a project curated by Giovanna Massoni for the second year in a row.

Cho (KR/UK/CAN).  \nOn display are a series of objects in dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and technology\, updating techniques and materials in the name of sustainability.  \nThree thematic clusters for contemporary design\nThis thinking turns into three thematic clusters. The first imagines a subtraction of weight\, materials\, processing and structures\, that determine the object’s lightness\, as well as a reduction in weight and impact on the planet. A second cluster is dedicated to agile\, transformable\, foldable\, transportable\, multifunctional and adaptable objects. The third thinks about spaces of light; light is lightness par excellence. In the Serra del Grumello\, inside the park\, there’s a temporary restaurant curated by Michelin-starred chef Samuel Carugati. It’s realized thanks to the partnership with FENIX®\, Pedrali\, Davide Groppi and Acqua Chiarella. The space will be animated by a series of talks with the designers of the Contemporary Design Selection\, powered by ParolaProgetto and moderated by journalist Paolo Ferrarini. \nBelow\, images of Lake Como Design Festival 2023 \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\nWhy Visit\nIn recent years\, Lake Como has been a destination for celebrities who find a home there and offer an image of the area that does not always match the reality. Lake Como Design Festival allows people to discover contemporary design in a highly prestigious historical setting. The festival can be an opportunity to discover an area that invites slow exploration\, with the rhythm of the lake. It’s less hectic than the sea\, and with a relaxed climate.

This is the 54th edition of CIFF\, the most important furniture design fair in China\, and one of the leading ones in the world. The first edition of this design event in Shanghai took place in 2015\, so the next one will be the 10th\, as CIFF Shanghai also ran in 2020\, despite the pandemic. \nDiscover CIFF Shanghai 2024 \nDesign East Show 2023 \nThe Shanghai show hosts over 1\,500 exhibitors\, representing the entire furniture supply chain. In fact\, CIFF Shanghai features home\, office and outdoor furniture\, decoration\, upholstery fabrics\, and machinery for the furniture industry. There are more than 150\,000 visitors from about 200 countries and regions worldwide. \nDesign in Shanghai\nThe design content of CIFF Shanghai is always very high. Since the first edition\, CIFF has been hosting the East Design Show. The exhibition\, curated by Zhu Xiaojie (a renowned interior designer)\, host students and young designers\, and let them express themselves around a theme. In addition to students and young designers\, several emerging brands exhibit here. This year\, the exhibition will be called Creative Design Showcase\, and the team of designer Zhu Xiaojie also curate it this time. \nDiscover CIFF Guangzhou \nEast Design Show 2016 \nAt CIFF Shanghai\, one can see real living design trends.

In 2019\, for example\, the conference “Architecture: from Alvaro Siza’s Modernism to the Digital Future” took place. The forum star was Alvaro Siza\, the Portuguese architect who designed the China Design Museum of Bauhaus Collection\, in Hangzhou\, a building opened in 2018 that houses the Bauhaus Collection of the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou (CAA). The forum\, titled “Designed for Humans: From Alvaro Siza’s Modernism into the Digital Future\,” organized by CIFF and Aedes Architecture Forum\, brought together seven world-renowned architects. \nDiscover the contemporary office at CIFF Guangzhou 2024 \nCamerich Pavilion by studio Alvaro Siza Vieira\, 2019 \nThey were Sou Fujimoto\, António Choupina\, Anouk Legendre\, Philip Feng Yuan-a professor at Tongji University; Martha Thorne\, secretary of the Pritzker Prize; Mario Carpo\, professor at University College London; and Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen\, professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. The subject of the conference was production in a digital future. \nAlso in 2024\, there will be an exhibition dedicated to Álvaro Siza\, Siza Theme Exhibition\, an exhibition on his design and architecture. \nThe exhibits at CIFF Shanghai\nSeveral brands collaborate with international designers and architects\, but Camerich\, an internationally renowned company\, takes advantage of CIFF Shanghai to explore topical issues in design and architecture\, designing booths of great interest. In 2019 for example\, it was the turn of the Siza Pavilion for Camerich\, a more than 700 square meters pavilion named “Portuguese Elephant.” Besides the size\, which was definitely large\, what stood out in that project was the attention paid to the booth’s architecture\, rather than the display of products. \nDiscover Cersaie Bologna 2024 \nCamerich Pavilion by Alvaro Siza\, 2019 \nFirst of all\, to create a silent and rarefied atmosphere inside the pavilion\, the outer walls were made of a material that insulated from heat and noise\, covered with mineral wool and aluminum\, with an additional silver layer that was both scenic and fireproof. The floors were made of natural oak\, the walls were white plaster\, and the rooms were revealed in succession\, as in the courtyards of Chinese houses. In fact\, the pavilion had seven entrances\, which created different viewpoints. Similarly\, the company chose to display only two products\, illustrating the various stages of their creation\, from design to fine-tuning. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\nNeri & Hu x Camerich Pavilion\, 2022\nIn 2022\, on the other hand\, the world-renowned firm Neri & Hu designed a sustainable and recyclable stand for Camerich\, as well as a very impressive one. A lattice of more than 1\,000 bamboo canes drew a space where visitors moved freely. The structure could be expanded or narrowed as needed\, and besides\, bamboo is a particularly sustainable wood\, that grows quickly and is suitable for many processes. The bamboo structure enclosed the walls on the outside\, leaving only a tiny entrance. Inside\, there was an articulated pathway\, in a succession of corridors and islands with furniture products. The various islands thus became rooms\, real domestic settings\, reminiscent of a real home. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\nDesign Eden: A New Paradigm\nThe next edition of CIFF Shanghai takes place from September 11 to 14\, 2024. The claim of the next edition will be “Design Eden”\, to emphasize the cultural and design component of the fair. Indeed\, at CIFF Shanghai\, design and business integrate seamlessy\, and a community of 300\,000 designers finds multiple opportunities for cultural enrichment and business opportunities. \nWhy visit\nCIFF Shanghai is one of China’s most influential design and furniture events. In addition to the furniture exhibition\, there are several side events\, such as CIFF Select Show\, which selects products with the highest design content.

Lionel Jadot creates unique works of functional art and collectible design. For interior architecture\, Jadot works with designer-makers\, who work with him in his atelier in Zaventem\, outside Brussels. His designs\, therefore\, are eco-friendly\, artisanal and technological at the same time. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\nThe Future On Stage competition\nFor the past three years\, Future On Stage\, Maison&Objet’s major showcase for French and international talent\, has rewarded companies less than three years old that are at the forefront of innovation\, business and creativity in design\, decoration and lifestyle. The winners of the 2024 edition are Sungai Design (Bali and Paris)\, Konqrit (Buenos Aires)\, and Apollo (Bois-Colombes\, France). \nSungai Watch and Sungai Design\, from Indonesia\, are sisters brands. The former is an environmental foundation that collects and sorts plastic from Bali’s rivers. The newer brand started on a new path in recent months\, turning plastic into furniture. From the ideas of French brothers Kelly\, Gary\, and Sam Bencheghib came the Ombak chair\, made of recycled plastic and hand-assembled. \nFrom Argentina\, on the other hand\, comes Konqrit\, the brainchild of a former fashion consultant. Cecilia García Galofre set out to explore the boundaries of bathroom furniture\, and to see how far one can go with decoration. The result is bathtubs as works of art\, decorated both inside and out\, by different artists. \nFinally\, Paul de Livron pioneered a manufacturing technique to produce wooden wheelchairs\, under the Apollo brand. Creative and practical\, the designer-engineer creates unique pieces out of okoumé wood (or with charred Notre Dame beam splinters). To launch this wheelchair model\, Paul de Livron also organized a presentation to the Pope\, “the perfect testimonial.” \nDiscover Paris Design Week 2024 \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\nWhy visit\nMaison & Objet Paris has the power of one of the world’s biggest trade fairs \nMaison & Objet hosts 2\,500 exhibitors\, 55 percent from abroad.
