The organisers of Design Miami Basel will present the 18th edition of the fair at Basel's Messeplatz from June 11 to 16 this year, with Preview Day on June 10.
Design Miami CEO, Jen Roberts says, 'Last year was a significant milestone in the evolution of Design Miami, and this year will only see the momentum continue. The eighteenth edition of our Basel fair follows the announcement of our global rebrand, and the inaugural Los Angeles edition. I greatly look forward to returning to our flagship location in Basel, to continue our mission at Design Miami: building and cultivating creative collaboration and a global platform for cultural exchange.'
Design Miami Senior VP of Fairs, Grela Orihuela says: 'We are delighted to be returning to our Swiss home for the eighteenth edition of Design Miami.Basel. This year's programming presents us with an opportunity to celebrate the best in collectible design through the eras - from design history icons to future trailblazers. We are particularly excited to share with our international community such a robust Curio program, which will see seven galleries make their debut on our global platform.'
For the eighteenth edition of Design Miami.Basel, the fair will welcome an array of rare and unique displays showcasing the best of collectible design.
Upon entering the Messeplatz, audiences will also be greeted by a collaborative gallery presentation by Friedman Benda (New York/LA), Pulp Galerie (Paris), and downtown+ (Paris), in remembrance of the late Gaetano Pesce (1939 - 2024). Within the entrance hall, guests will have a chance to view a selection of key works from the 1970s to present, honouring the legacy of the 21st century design icon whose work has featured prominently at Design Miami over the years.
Once inside the fair, audiences will be met with a rich programme of gallery and curio presentations. Highlights include first-time exhibitors: Galerie Eva Presenhuber (Zurich/Vienna); MAXIME FLATRY (Paris); Objects with Narratives (Brussels); and a Curio program that will see a notable number of debut exhibitors: Craft x Tech (Tokyo); Mameluca (Lisbon); Nolwa Studio (Hyderabad); Nick Thomm (Melbourne/Los Angeles); and Pulp Galerie (Paris); with Karry Berreby (Paris) making its Basel debut.
