Each piece is on display in Paris for the first time. Highlights include Raphael Navot’s Encompass sofa\, which sits at the presentation’s heart. The gallery also showcases Dr. Samuel Ross’ Amnesia or platelet apparition? and ANAESTHESIA I – both reflecting upon the evocative power of materials. Other highlights include a rare and early ceiling lamp by Ettore Sottsass. \nAnaesthesia I by Dr. Samuel Ross at Friedman Benda. Photo Timothy Doyon \nThe Legacy of Modernism\nThis year’s gallery program also pays homage to the profound legacy of Modernism. Galerie Patrick Seguin (Paris) presents the legacy of French Modernism through a curated collection of 20th-century collectible masterpieces by designers including Jean Prouvé\, Le Corbusier\, and Jean Royère. The striking dialogue with the classical interiors of L’hôtel de Maisons speaks to French design’s rich history and evolution.  \nMeanwhile\, Galerie Downtown-Laffanour (Paris) places 20th-century French masterpieces in conversation with 21st-century icons. A thoughtful selection of works by French luminaries Charlotte Perriand\, Jean Prouvé\, and Serge Mouille is presented alongside visionary works by Ron Arad\, Choi Byung Hoon\, and Ettore Sottsass.  \nDesign Miami.Paris Design at Large Highlights\nThis year’s Paris fair also offers an extensive Design at Large program. It includes rare and significant works presented across the courtyard\, interior and gardens of L’hôtel de Maisons. The 17 presentations set to go on show span contemporary and historic highlights.  \nFriedman Benda (New York/LA/Paris) and Carpenters Workshop Gallery (London/Paris/New York/Los Angeles) present two works by celebrated American designer Wendell Castle (1932-2018)\, known for his groundbreaking approach to design and his crucial addition to the field’s sculptural vocabulary. \nAnother key highlight comes from Galerie Downtown-LAFFANOUR (Paris)\, which brings a Jean Prouvé post-war prefabricated house. It was originally built in 1946 in Prouvé’s home village\, Carnac. The house was designed with easy assembly and dismantling in mind\, intended to house his family. The only remaining building with Prouve’s signature character intact\, the house references a rich historical dimension. \nThe Carnac House\, by Jean Prouvé for Galerie Dowtown LAFFANOUR \nSalon 94 Design (New York) presents two editions of Rick Owens’s Tomb Chair. Through his choice of subtle and rare materials\, Owens suggests the beauty of nature\, inspired by his favorite shapes from Eileen Gray to Brâncuşi to the skateparks in California.  \nWhy visit\nDesign Miami.Paris is the French edition of Design Miami\, and like the other shows it is a collectors’ fair.

Officine Tamborrino is a Puglia-based brand specializing in metalworking and creating design furnishings and micro-architectural elements. The brand worked with German designer Lilo Klinkenberg of Studio Lilo\, who realized the concept for green areas. \nThe Corte EDIT will host metal furnishing elements\, structural beams in steel; an explosive nature will interact with the existing architecture\, welcoming visitors into a dreamlike space right in the heart of Naples dedicated to dialogue and conviviality. Feudi di San Gregorio\, the historic winemaker from Irpinia\, has managed the lounge in this area for the third year. The winemaker is also in charge of the event opening party\, “Aperitivo all’italiana.” Over the three days of the event\, the winemaker offers visitors wine and gourmet tastings.   \nDiscover Maison & Objet 2024 \nEdit Napoli 2023\, The Archivio di Stato in Naples \nWhy visit\nNaples can create impossible links between people and stories\, where anything can happen.

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.

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.

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.

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. On the other hand\, design Eden – Contemporary Design Trade Fair will welcome Chinese brands specializing in high-end design\, brands known worldwide.

There\, he learned to reuse woodworking scraps\, a technique he perfected in art school. His creations\, in fact\, feature his ability to work with raw materials sourced according to availability. 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.

Each edition of the 8-day festival is an opportunity to talk about design broadly\, as a discipline that affects the whole environment around us. The exhibitions\, workshops\, lectures\, and discussions cover current topics in technology\, process design\, ecology\, fashion\, architecture\, urban development\, and craftsmanship. Through diverse activities\, the design festival connects the design world with businesses. Gdynia Design Days is an event for professionals and all those fascinated by design\, who are interested in learning more about the changes taking place.  \nDiscover Paris Design Week  \nGdynia Design Days \nGydnia Design Days: gdynia-zdrój (Gdynia-spa) \nAlthough Gdynia has never been a spa town\, it has all the potential to become one. For the festival’s duration\, Gydnia was transformed into Gdynia-Zdrój\, a spa town 2.0 designed to meet the present challenges. Gdynia-Zdrój is the place where the economy\, the planet\, our society\, the locality\, and people can regenerate. The design festival wanted to explore the desire for renewal without untying itself from cultural and historical associations\, but responding to real and contemporary needs. \nGdynia is already a place where people seek renewal\, especially during these design days on Baltic Sea. It is where residents and visitors come to find regeneration\, balance\, and a good quality of life. Gdynia offers renovation through its contact with nature (proximity to forests\, parks\, and the Baltic Sea)\, and its modern character as a smart city designed to facilitate daily life. \nDiscover Boston Design Week  \nGdynia Design Days 2023 \nLooking for wellness design on Baltic Sea\nInspired by the usual activities of traditional spas\, Gdynia-Zdrój expresses a commitment to physical and psychological well-being. This wellness concept transcends the medical context\, focusing on long-term health maintenance through a good quality of life. \nCaring for the planet and the climate is one of the pillars of Gdynia Design Days. In this context\, each year there is an emphasis on circular design. Economic models\, in fact\, are in urgent need of a reset. Gdynia-Zdrój must also be a space for curating the relationship with virtual reality and artificial intelligence-and the way we perceive them.  \nIn recent months there have been renewed debates about the dangers of excessive immersion in virtual realms and automation. On the other hand\, ours is a period marked by a strong denial of these phenomena. But perhaps there is a possibility of healing the relationship between the analog and digital worlds? At Gdynia Design Days there is a belief that media operating in these two dimensions are actually one world. Here\, the artificial intelligence can complement the non-digital experience. \nDiscover Helsinki Design Week  \n \nWhy visit\nFirst of all\, Gdynia is one of Poland’s most important cities and a popular tourist destination on the Baltic Sea. This proximity to the sea makes Design Week interesting in terms of the issues it addresses.
