An exercise in domestic camouflage, the Marmoreal (2014) installation uses a single randomly patterned stone slab material to cover floor and walls, and from which to construct furnishings. Combining chunks of four different colored Veronese marble varieties with polyester resin, Max Lamb’s Marmoreal (2014) is a decorative and resilient man-made stone surface. This bold contemporary interpretation of terrazzo celebrates the dramatic color and patterning of natural marble. Max Lamb, Marmoreal, is presented by Dzek, London.

Kersten Geers and Richard Venlet have taken the diminutive proportions of the Design Curio space and reduced them to the nth degree, presenting two corridor-like spaces. Within, stacks of architect and artist-designed furniture can be examined at extremely close quarters, undermining the decorous distance between object and viewer that otherwise characterizes the design fair visitor’s experience. The installation is presented by MANIERA, Brussels.

Local Swiss product designer Sibylle Stœckli examines the relationship between design objects and food in an extension of her Global Design Research series. Stœckli’s Curio booth consists of walls covered in newspaper and objects that relate to food both in practical and abstract terms, examining our relationship with food through a broad cultural, biological and anthropological lens. Sibylle Stœckli is presented by Artsy.
