09 November, Miami - The nineteenth edition of Design Miami/ returns this December 6 - 10, with Preview Day on December 5, welcoming over 40 gallery and Curio presentations and over 20 brand collaborations. With this year’s curatorial theme, Where We Stand, Design Miami/ is pleased to announce a selection of preview highlights.

Grela Orihuela, Senior VP of Fairs says, “We are delighted to return to Miami Beach for the 19th edition of Design Miami/. The chosen curatorial theme, Where We Stand, is a reflection on place and purpose and a celebration of design, heritage, and community; and this year’s gallery and Curio presentations will truly capture this sentiment. Through an array of exceptional designs - both historic and contemporary - and thought-provoking exhibition concepts, Design Miami/ 2023 will once again reconvene as the global forum for design.”

Anna Carnick, Curatorial Director, says, “I am honored to serve as Curatorial Director for this year’s Design Miami/. The fair has always been a platform for inspiring, creative exchange, and this year’s edition continues that beautiful legacy. I chose the theme, Where We Stand, not only to spotlight the role design plays in reflecting and responding to the world around us, but also as an invitation to consider how it might help us navigate this complex, far too often divided moment. Design can be a powerful tool for storytelling—and stories allow us to access one another’s humanity. In celebrating objects from around the globe inspired by narratives of place, community, and heritage—sources we all refer to for strength, clarity and purpose—I hope this year’s Design Miami/ will spark thoughtful conversations about the ties that bind us and how they might inform our paths forward.”

Gallery & Curio Highlights/
HUMAN CONNECTION/
​At the crux of Where We Stand is the importance of honoring and nurturing human connection - as told through objects that reflect an array of experiences from around the globe. The significance of this takes center stage in many galleries’ presentations.

Ukrainian artist and designer Victoria Yakusha returns to the Design Miami/ Curio program to present a new limited-edition collection titled The Land of Light. To create the works, Yakusha turned to the ancient Ukrainian craft, yalkuvannya, a technique typically used for wall finishing. Each piece was made from the live material, ZTISTA - a sustainable blend of clay, hay, and recycled materials. Applied in more than five layers to a wooden structure, ZTISTA creates a textured, vibrant surface. The act of applying this sustainable material, allows for the creation of an object that absorbs and transmits a living energy. The result is a series of objects beyond functionality, but a collection of designs that reflects the spirit and wisdom of the land where they come from.
