Oskar Zieta‘s groundbreaking inflatable furniture, which is made by industrially blowing air into laser-cut sheets of welded steel, is making its American debut in the exhibition Poetic License at Moss in New York. The Polish designer and engineer’s innovative production concept offers endless possibilities for lightweight, funky furniture and objects, as witnessed by some of the experimental designs on the company’s website.
What’s art without design? The two pursuits go hand in hand, and when Design Miami began five years ago, it was the perfect compliment to Art Basel Miami Beach. The two fairs work in harmony, but this year, Design Miami takes the lead by starting a day earlier than its bigger brother. Featuring modern and contemporary design objects from dealers from around the world, as well as solo displays, satellite exhibitions, pop-up shows, panel discussions, performances, and the designer of the year award, Design Miami transforms the already vital Miami Design District into the go-to place for international design enlightenment.
