From the Austere to the Flamboyant
The to and fro of austerity and flamboyance in design is a perpetual rhythm, varying from era to era. Sometimes the two tendencies are diametrically opposed; sometimes they are encapsulated in a single piece. While Jean Prouvé represents one extreme end of the pendulum's swing, the contemporary designer Joseph Walsh perhaps represents the other, while near-contemporaries Joaquim Tenreiro and Carlo Mollino represent critical pivot points of sensibility. Wendell Castle's Desk of Doctor Caligari's Mistress is playfully and theatrically over the top, while the Grande Table Pliable by Bernard Dubois and Isaac Reina, in its subtle luxuriousness, offers a more intellectual and sensual thrill. I hope you enjoy the journey!

Superblue presents DRIFT x Sou Fujimoto
At the 15th edition of Design Miami/ Basel, the artist duo DRIFT presented Shy Synchrony, a site-specific installation for the fair, which seeks to encourage a deepened connection to our environment. The artists joined forces with Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto who specially conceived a pavilion, which acts as a counterpoint to the kinetic artwork.
