NOVEMBER 5, 2023

Here’s What to See at Salon Art + Design 2023 Dealers are bringing their best to the 12th edition of the illustrious fair, which arrives at the Park Avenue Armory this week.

By Fred A. Bernstein

NOVEMBER 5, 2023Sanford Smith, the founder of SALON ART + DESIGN, chose the fair’s name carefully.

The idea was to present FINE ART and functional objects together. Indeed, Jill Bokor, who has run the fair since its debut, in 2012, says booths that contain, say, both FURNITURE and PAINTINGS are the preferred model.

“They help people imagine how rooms in their homes and offices could look.”

This year’s Salon, at New York’s PARK AVENUE ARMORY, will feature 50 booths filled with everything from OLD MASTER PAINTINGS to LED lighting. And by the time the fair opens — following a preview benefiting the DIA ART FOUNDATION on November 9 — Bokor will have seen practically every item. In the days before the vernissage, “as exhibitors start to unpack, I look, and I look, and I look,” says Bokor, who has been known to purchase objects for her own collection.

She will also guide a vetting committee from booth to booth before the official opening. The committee checks the authenticity of the older pieces, but she doesn’t expect much drama. After more than a decade, she can recall just one item that was removed from the floor — an Italian chandelier that had been over-restored — and a couple of others that had to be relabeled.

And even with experts ensuring authenticity, there could still be bargains at Salon. “Our highest price would be the lowest price at some contemporary art fairs,” Bokor says.

The SALON ART + DESIGN fair returns to New York’s Park Avenue Armory from November 9 to 13 with 50 booths and 15 special exhibitions brimming with exceptional work. Jewelry dealer ROSIOR will be offering the DROP EARRINGS pictured at left, which combine turquoise ceramic with emeralds and purple sapphires, while ACHILLE SALVAGNI will display pieces like his Brancaleone onyx-and-bronze sconce, seen at right (photos throughout courtesy of the galleries unless otherwise noted). Top: Design lovers and collectors browse the fair in 2022 (photo by Peter Baker).

This year, the main exhibition space, in the armory’s vast Wade Thompson Drill Hall, will include JEWELRY dealers for the first time. That’s good news for ROSIOR. The Portuguese jeweler will dazzle fairgoers with the bright colors of EMERALDS, RUBIES, TSAVORITES and, in the case of one pair of gold earrings, a burst of deep turquoise ceramic. The jewel-like furniture of ACHILLE SALVAGNI will also dazzle, on a larger scale. His Achille Salvagni Atelier (a partnership with downtown dealer MAISON GERARD) is just a few blocks from the armory, but decamping to Salon means meeting more potential customers in five days — the show runs through November 13 — than he might encounter in months on his home turf.

DONZELLA LTD. will show a walnut cabinet by GIO PONTI and PIERO FORNASETTI.

That explains why so many New York dealers — 22 this year — flock to the fair. And it explains why they pull out all the stops. “I set aside some very exciting pieces for Salon this year,” says Manhattan gallerist PAUL DONZELLA, who specializes in 20th-century treasures. A cabinet by GIO PONTI and PIERO FORNASETTI, designed for Casa Ceccato in Milan in 1950, is a fantastic example of the collaboration between these two important artists. Also in Donzella’s booth: a very rare pair of leather-wrapped gaming chairs by WILLIAM HAINES. They were made for his “Desert Living Room” display at the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco. “For me, having these chairs to present is a holy grail moment,” Donzella says.

https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-and-design-2023/

YUNHWAN KIM’s Unintended console table will be on view at the TODD MERRILL booth.

TODD MERRILL, whose eponymous gallery is located IN MANHATTAN’S TRIBECA NEIGHBORHOOD, says he has put together “a more impactful booth than ever,” starting with the oversize moiré patterns of DEDAR’s Amoir Libre fabric on the walls. A bronze console from the Unintended series by the young South Korean artist YUNHWAN KIM holds the floor. Trained as a woodworker, Kim is now producing bulging, biomorphic metal furniture. The console’s heft makes it a perfect foil for Paul Swan Topen’s LED lamp, a gracefully skeletal, almost ethereal bronze sculpture.

LIZ O’BRIEN is offering Carson Converse’s quilted work Inheritance (left) and a wooden vessel by Alan Meredith (right).

https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-and-design-2023/

LIZ O’BRIEN, a Manhattan dealer IN 20TH-CENTURY DECORATIVE ARTS, will show quilts by Massachusetts-based contemporary artist Carson Converse, who, O’Brien says, “plays with scale, to zoom in to the process and reveal how it all works or to step way back and make the question almost moot.” The dealer will also be presenting works by a selection of Irish makers: Isobel Egan’s delicate paper-like porcelain sculptures, Cecilia Moore’s brightly enameled metal objects and Alan Meredith’s turned-wood vessels. O’Brien brought in BRIAN J. MCCARTHY, a former partner in THE LEGENDARY INTERIORS FIRM PARISH-HADLEY, to design the booth. He is working with plaster artist Stephen Antonson to create a classical-inspired setting.

A slate-top JEAN PROUVÉ coffee table will be among the pieces from MAGEN H GALLERY.

Hugues Magen introduced the work of PIERRE SABATIER to U.S. collectors in 2016 at his Greenwich Village gallery, MAGEN H. One of the highlights of his 2023 Salon booth is Dots Argent, a handmade 1975 steel-andtin wall sculpture by Sabatier. It will hang near a slate-top coffee table by JEAN PROUVÉ and an exceptionally sleek wood desk designed circa 1960 FOR CHANDIGARH by LE CORBUSIER. Along with a chunky circa 1965 cedar coffee table by PIERRE CHAPO, the pieces will constitute a master class in materials used wisely.

https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-and-design-2023/

GUY REGAL will present a WALNUT CABINET by CARLO BUGATTI.

Another Manhattanite, art and antiques dealer GUY REGAL, will journey less than two miles from his midtown showroom to the armory with his Salon offerings, but it will be an auspicious procession, complete with several dozen favorites. Regal says he is especially proud to be showing an early (circa 1922) ART DECO mahogany sideboard by MAURICE DUFRÊNE, which he calls “a tour de force of French craftsmanship.” An exceedingly rare, circa 1900 CARLO BUGATTI CABINET of walnut inlaid with parchment, copper, pewter and bone will be another highlight. Regal will surround the older pieces with CONTEMPORARY CERAMICS, including dramatically textured lamps and vessels from Peter Lane Studio and COLLEEN CARLSON.

CHARLES BURNAND’s booth will include DENHOLM’s Ronin chair (left) and Dawn Bendick’s Time Rock Stack XVI (right, photo by Graham Pearson

Traveling a little farther to Salon, SIMON STEWART, of London’s CHARLES BURNAND GALLERY, will be showcasing what he describes as “very playful” work by DENHOLM, composed of U.K.-born, Melbourne-based artists Lars Stoten and Steven Clark. Pieces will include their Ronin chair, made of South Australian limestone infused with brightly colored dyes, and their Sister Dead Mental table, composed of colorless but deeply textured limestone slabs in a macabre arrangement. Stewart is also showing a monumental, pillar-like metal-and-acrylic lamp by Paris-based designers Agathe Labaye and Florian Sumi, along with Dawn Bendick’s Rock Stack sculptures, made of cast dichroic glass that shifts from warm pinks and oranges to cool electric greens and blues when exposed to natural and artificial light. Also in the mix will be Harnessing the Elements, Stewart’s own spectacular, gold-toned mica-and-LED chandelier, which, he says, “embodies the marriage of art and science.”

https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-and-design-2023/

CRISTINA GRAJALES is bringing Tim Horn’s Stardust & Moonlight (left), as well as seating by Mark Grattan and a fique-and-bronze rug by Hechizoo (right).

“We’re going to have a very glamorous booth,” promises CRISTINA GRAJALES. The Lower Manhattan GALLERIST will introduce a few new discoveries: Tim Horn’s wall sculptures of nickel-plated bronze and mirrored glass, CHRISTINA Z ANTONIO’s leather-fronted cabinets and Ann McCoy’s animal-sculpture sconces. CHRISTOPHE CÔME’s highly inventive lighting and Mark Grattan’s sleek furniture will round out the booth, which is to be outfitted by 1STDIBS 50 interior designer YOUNG HUH with calligraphic compositions

by AAMIR KHANDWALA, burlap-covered paintings by JOHN-PAUL PHILIPPE and a natural-fiber rug with bronze filaments by the incomparable Colombian weavers Hechizoo.

https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-and-design-2023/

TWENTY FIRST GALLERY is showing Jean-Marie Fiori’s Sumer cabinet.

The lower Manhattan gallery TWENTY FIRST is showing three spectacularly quirky cabinets. Polish artist MARCIN RUSAK, descended from generations of flower growers, created the front of his Flora credenza by suspending vividly colored petals and leaves in snow-white resin. Jean-Marie Fiori’s Sumer cabinet features not flora but fauna — stylized animals in cast metal on doors made of patinated bronze and ash wood. Fiori was inspired by the bas-reliefs of ancient civilizations. By contrast, ERWAN BOULLOUD’s Romane cabinet is pure abstraction, a stunning display of polished-brass marquetry with inlaid lapis lazuli, tigereye, amethyst and other gemstones.

“We think of the booth as a kind of living room where our pieces will spark a whimsical and joyful atmosphere,” says Twenty First founder RENAUD VUAILLAT. “We’re not looking for decorum.”

Along with the 50 dealers’ booths, Salon has given space to individual makers in both the drill hall and the armory’s smaller front rooms. Interior designer PHILLIP THOMAS has reimagined the elaborate Colonel’s Reception Room as a cabinet of curiosities. “Every element celebrates the idea of your home as the showcase for a life well lived,” says Thomas. Among the pieces he chose for his “cabinet” are a pair of bronze-and-quartz tables

by ARRIAU from Paul Donzella, a graceful floor lamp by Israeli artist AYALA from Maison Gerard and a CHINOISERIE chest from Liz O’Brien.

THE SPACELESS GALLERY will exhibit works by ceramist Ruan Hoffmann in the armory’s South Hall.

THE SPACELESS GALLERY is taking over the armory’s South Hall, where it will show voluptuous clay sculptures by Ukrainian-born artist OLGA SABKO, paintings by PIERRE BONNEFILLE and plates by Ruan

https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-and-design-2023/

Hoffmann, a ceramist who covers the surfaces of his misshapen works with images and text that, according to the gallery, can be “unapologetic, politically confrontational, improper and even sometimes rude” — but also “uncompromising and exhilarating.”

Back in the drill hall, the Spaceless Gallery has collaborated with HUMANS SINCE 1982, a Stockholm-based studio founded by Bastian Bischoff and Per Emanuelsson in 2009, to present the KINETIC installation A million Times 120, which entrances viewers with its choreography of 120 meticulously synchronized analog clocks.

Special exhibitions in the drill hall will include new pieces from JAMES DE WULF, like his Exo poker table (left), and DEMURO DAS, such as the maker’s Tempest side table (right).

Also marking time is DEMURO DAS, a firm based in New Delhi and New York that’s introducing several new lines of furniture. Part of a range of tables made with semiprecious stones and hand-cast metals, the Tempest side table, in smoky quartz and solid bronze, seems to embody eons of natural history.

California- and Hawaii-based furniture designer JAMES DE WULF, in his first time at Salon, is showing additions to his Exo series: a console, side table, poker table and library table made of concrete with external bronze, brass and stainless steel reinforcements. Those visible frames mimic the geometries of shells and flowers. “I’m having fun and following nature,” says De Wulf. “My goal is to make heirlooms out of the finest materials. And, yes, I think of concrete as a fine material.”

t’s going to be the most unique fair that we’ve ever had,” says Jill Bokor, executive director of Salon Art + Design. “There’s an exciting mix of top international galleries returning, along with some young names who are pushing collectible design with new materials and forms.” Consider the evidence: Paris-based Mathieu Lehanneur, a multidisciplinary designer who not only creates beautiful furniture, but also designed the torch for the 2024 Olympics; iconic New York gallery Karl Kemp with their one-of-akind antiques; and side tables studded with semi-precious stones, courtesy of New Delhi–based DeMuro Das. There’s wit, design expertise, and craftsmanship like you’ve never seen before.

At DeMuro Das, inspiration comes in from all four directions. Manifesting in the form of a bookshelf inspired by traditional Indian pedestals, as well as tables that take from the rich history of Jaipur’s jewel trade. “Our favourites continue to be pieces from the Tempest and Clarion collections, which employ unique finishes like claret dolomite, vesuvianite, and howlite,” says Puru Das, one half of DeMuro Das. Each stone is cut and inlaid by artisans, with lines between pieces become invisible to the eye, morphing into a singular carved stone.

Elsewhere, board games take over some of Trunks Company’s most lavish designs—the Pipe & Chess Bar Cabinet Trunk and the Game Island Trunk. The

6 2 A D A R C H I T E C T U R A L D I G E S T N O V- D E C 2 0 2 3

former features an extendable workstation and sections for bar tools, while the latter keeps up with the element of surprise with a game hidden in each layer. “We wanted to craft pieces that surpass the rules of trunkmaking, unveiling a world of grandeur with each wing unfolding itself,” says Paritosh Mehta, who co-founded Trunks Company with his brother Priyank. A single trunk takes around six months to manufacture, and the finished product blurs the boundaries between art and design.

Salon Art+Design will be held in New York City from 9–13 November.

Max Lamb sets his sights on cardboard

Sustainability has long piqued the interest of British designer Max Lamb, so it was only a matter of time before he decided to transform the pileup of cardboard in his studio, typically reserved for models and prototypes, into furniture. These earthy, wood-and-rock-like creations are the focus of “BOX”, an exhibition at Gallery FUMI in London’s Mayfair district (on view until November 18 before traveling to Salon Art + Design in New York, Design Miami, and Frieze Los Angeles).

Lamb cut, scored, folded, and crushed the utilitarian brown paper. He then reassembled the material into a crumpled sack-like vase and a series of monolithic chairs and tables, with the help of bolts, screws, paper gum tape, and a homemade flour and water glue, infusing each piece with a raw, well-worn quality.

L’eau de la mirror by Nathalie Ziegler-Pasqua, available at Twenty-First Gallery Salon Art + Design highlights we’re still thinking about

Plenty caught the eye at the most recent installment of Salon Art + Design, held in New York at the Park Avenue Armory on November 9–13. One of these highlights, the Magnolia Grandiflora chandelier, dramatically graced the entrance to the fair with its mélange of hand-forged iron and ethereal cotton blooms crafted by the atelier Cox London. Sinuous, natural forms distinguish another standout, Parisian glass artist Nathalie Ziegler-Pasqua’s monumental L’eau de la mirror. Part of the Twenty-First Gallery in New York’s showcase, it melds silvering glass from the historic Verrerie de Saint-Just with splashes of obsidian. Meanwhile, Paris architect and designer Charles Zana also made an impression with his assemblage of new collectibles, including the sleek, curving Rimbaud rocking chair fusing leather and steel and the funky Milos lamp pairing a silver travertine base with an ebony- and bronze-hued wicker shade.

Biedermeier Furniture Is Having a Moment—Again!

This 19th-century furniture style—originally made to accommodate a growing middle class—is ripe for revisiting

By Hannah Martin

Since seeing Paola Saracino Fendi’s Upper East Side pad, fabulously decorated by British firm Campbell-Rey, I can’t stop thinking about her dining chairs. A collection of eight mismatched Biedermeier beauties, with seats reupholstered in colorful Lelièvre corduroys, surround a sleek 1980s table by Paul Mayen. They were fun—with their scrolling, decorative backrests—but also somewhat serious with crisp, clean-cut lines.

In Germany and Austria between 1815 and 1850, when the seats were likely made, this style represented the peak of modernity. The Napoleonic wars had ended and a burgeoning middle class emerged, with the time and money to furnish their homes. A new style of furniture was created to suit their needs: streamlined versions of more opulent Empire furniture, characterized by strong lines, warm local woods like walnut, pear, and cherry, and simplified shapes—though, notably, not totally stripped of ornament. Hallmarks include flared arms and legs or curlicue seat backs. In Biedermeier: Art and Culture in Central Europe 1815–1848, authors Radim Vondracek, Claudia Terenzi, and Jiri Rak call it “the undisputed point of breakdown between Classicism and modernism,” both for that clean, modern look and the fact that—for the first time—production was based on standard models.

The origins of its moniker (only given decades later) can be found in the German words bieder—plain, unpretentious, and inoffensive—and Biedermann, an honest, upright citizen without intellectual ambition.

Despite that rather disparaging name, Biedermier forms would lay the groundwork for much of modern furniture design to come: Thonet’s iconic bistro chair has roots in a Biedermeier model; as do many pieces of Wiener Werkstatte–era furniture, which would emerge soon after.

“We loved how playful they were, yet so elegant and classic,” says Duncan Campbell of the dining chairs that caught my eye—a set that once belonged to an Austrian design enthusiast, which his client snagged on 1stDibs.

He and Charlotte Rey have been gravitating to pieces from this period, which they praise for quality craftsmanship as well as, in Rey’s words, their ability to “lift a room.” The duo recently placed a walnut burr Biedermeier chest of drawers in a project in Greece.

Other designers and tastemakers have been slowly reintegrating these period pieces into their interiors. Jill Bokor, executive director of New York’s Salon Art + Design fair, recently purchased a Biedermeier table for her new Berkshires home, calling the style “the freshest antique to make a return to the market.” Fashion designer Adam Lippes, whose father collected Biedermeier, lives with a pedestal dining table in his Brooklyn apartment. R.Higgins Interiors principal designer Roger Higgins placed a pair of armchairs from the era in a Nashville house. And when Derek Lam and Neal Beckstedt were working on Lam’s Fire Island beach house, they looked to the 1980s interiors of Joe D’Urso that, while staunchly minimalist, also incorporated the occasional Biedermeier treasure.

“It seems to sing in very restrained and even minimal interiors,” explains Adam Charlap Hyman, of the AD100 firm Charlap Hyman Herrero. He recently surrounded an artist-made dining table with Biedermeier chairs at a SoHo loft. “I enjoy the juxtaposition between wooden Biedermeier furniture and High Tech pieces from the ’70s and ’80s by the likes of Gae Aulenti or Joe D’Urso.”

It doesn’t feel like an accident that the last major Biedermeier resurgence happened in the ’80s when that particular type of minimalism was taking root. In 1981, The New York Times spotlighted the style’s re-emergence, declaring that Biedermeier was “so easy to live with in small apartments—they are simple, charming, have great ambiance and the light woods makes them ever so appealing.” Just three years later, Robert Venturi designed his cartoonish riff for Knoll.

Perhaps that’s the contemporary appeal of Biedermeier: It’s quite a chameleon. It brings a calculated hit of classicism to a cool, minimalist interior, but it can deliver streamlined modernity to one that is layered and super decorated. Higgins, for example, likes the way that Biedermeier pieces work in more maximalist interiors, explaining that “their simple lines and overall restraint complement current trends toward warmer, pattern-filled spaces.”

Keep an eye out for Biedermeier treasures on sites like 1stDibs or at auction, where they can still be scored at relatively affordable prices. “With its clean architectural lines and light woods, Biedermeier can warm a contemporary home without having your ‘grandma’s antiques’ feel,” explains Anna Hicks, head of the furniture and decorative arts department at Bonhams in Los Angeles, who adds that, “It is a very affordable way to add diversity to your interior.” Just last week, the auction house sold a Biedermeier chest from the collection of Cliff Fong for a reasonable $1,024. And over the last decade pieces from the era have emerged from the collections of writer Jackie Collins and actress Lauren Bacall.

Rey’s main piece of advice? Try not to take period pieces like these too seriously. “It is important to not be afraid to mix them with color and other periods,” she explains. “Perhaps you place a Memphis Milano lamp on top of a Biedermeier sideboard? Being too respectful can make it feel overly polite.”

The best of Indian design at Salon Art + Design in New York City Salon Art + Design returns to the Park Avenue Armory in New York City in November, and from India, spotlights pieces by DeMuro Das and the Trunks Company.

By Adarsh Soni

Trunks Company

It’s going to be the most unique fair that we’ve ever had,” says Jill Bokor, executive director of Salon Art + Design.

“There’s an exciting mix of top international galleries returning, along with some young names who are pushing collectible design with new materials and forms.” Consider the evidence: Paris-based Mathieu Lehanneur, a multi disciplinary designer who not only creates beautiful furniture, but also designed the torch for the 2024 Olympics; iconic New York gallery Karl Kemp with their one-of-a kind antiques; and side tables studded with semi-precious stones, courtesy of New Delhi–based DeMuro Das. There’s wit, design expertise, and craftsmanship like you’ve never seen before.

https://www.architecturaldigest.in/story/the-best-of-indian-design-at-salon-art-design-in-new-york-city/

At DeMuro Das, inspiration comes in from all four directions. Manifesting in the form of a bookshelf inspired by traditional Indian pedestals, as well as tables that take from the rich history of Jaipur’s jewel trade. “Our favourites continue to be pieces from the Tempest and Clarion collections, which employ unique finishes like claret dolomite, vesuvianite, and howlite,” says Puru Das, one half of DeMuro Das. Each stone is cut and inlaid by artisans, with lines between pieces become invisible to the eye, morphing into a singular carved stone.

Elsewhere, board games take over some of Trunks Company’s most lavish designs—the Pipe & Chess Bar Cabinet Trunk and the Game Island Trunk. The former features an extendable workstation and sections for bar tools, while the latter keeps up with the element of surprise with a game hidden in each layer. “We wanted to craft pieces that surpass the rules of trunkmaking, unveiling a world of grandeur with each wing unfolding itself,” says Paritosh Mehta, who co- founded Trunks Company with his brother Priyank. A single trunk takes around six months to manufacture, and the finished product blurs the boundaries between art and design.

Salon Art+Design was held in New York City from 9–13 November.

Save the Date New York’s Salon Art + Design fair returns for its 12th edition

By Kelly Pau

International artists, designers, architects, and collectors will descend upon New York’s Park Avenue Armory from November 9 to 13 for the annual Salon Art + Design. Returning for its 12th edition, the leading fair for collectible design will continue its legacy in merging time and space, bringing together vintage, modern, and futuristic designs from around the world. This year, the fair (produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates) is extending its line-up, welcoming new exhibitors, U.S. debuts, and, for the first time, will integrate a select group of special design and jewelry exhibitions.

“We want Salon to provide a sense of discovery for our audiences, which includes both seasoned and entry-level collectors alike,” said Jill Bokor, executive director of Salon Art + Design, in a statement. “While Salon is known for showing some of the most world-renowned galleries in design, we also want the fair to serve as a platform for burgeoning galleries who are showcasing some of the most cutting-edge design, whether that be vintage, modern, or contemporary. We’re excited for our visitors to reconnect with the galleries one may expect at the fair, while also discovering the new and unexpected.”

Of the nearly 50 exhibitors in the far, newcomers include Achille Salvagni Atelier, bo Design Group, Guy Regal NYC, Mercado Moderno, Mia Karlova Galerie, Salon Design, Spazio Nobile, and Zeit Contemporary Art. They fall alongside familiar names like Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts, Cristina Grajales, David Gill Gallery, Donzella, Galerie Marcilhac, Karl Kemp, Liz O’Brien, Maison Gerard, Todd Merrill Studio, and Twenty First Gallery who are returning from previous years.

London’s Charles Burnand Gallery will also be in attendance, featuring LABAYE SUMI, the studio led by Agathe Labaye and visual artist Florian Sumi. The duo operate under the ethos that “objects make architecture” and defy singular aesthetics. Their collaborative style is apparent in the Colonne Noailles, a stained glass sculptural light thats cues from classic pillars and provides dual functionality as a light source and side table.

Dealer news in brief including Abbott and Holder's 'affordable art' web page A roundup of news and events from around the trade

Abbott and Holder, the British picture specialist in Museum Street, London, has introduced a new selling strategy: the Plan Chest Page. The web page is the successor to the firm’s physical £50 and Under Box. That in turn replaced the 5/ Box which was used when the firm traded from Castelnau. These works “as beautiful or interesting as they may be, do not warrant the expense of being framed, mounted and introduced on our monthly Lists”, the gallery says. abbottandholder-thelist.com New York fair exhibitors

Major Sales Opening Night At Salon Art + Design Review & Onsite Photos by Z.G. Burnett

The Park Avenue Armory’s stately entrance to the Salon Art + Design show would welcome more than 2,000 visitors on opening night.

https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/major-sales-opening-night-at-salon-art-design/

NEW YORK CITY — The 12th edition of the Salon Art + Design at the Park Avenue Armory welcomed more than 2,000 visitors during its dazzling opening night on November 9. Salon was produced by Sanford Smith + Associates, and the premier event was co-hosted by Nathalie and Laura de Gunzburg. With 50 leading design exhibitors and 12 special design exhibitions from global houses exclusive to Salon, the show was off to a great start with an excellent number of sales from many vendors during the opening. Everywhere one looked, there was an item or booth that was beautiful to behold, dating from ancient artifacts to contemporary tableaus. Salon was open to the public through November 13.

“It’s always like this, though,” said one visitor to another during the early press preview. “Literally the last minute.”

Any reader who has produced, sold at or even assisted at such a show can empathize with the controlled chaos of scaffolding, ladders and drinking glass organization that typically ensues right up to opening. Many exhibitors were international but even some locals were down to the wire setting up, a lengthy process in which anything and everything can go wrong. The majority were ready to receive customers within the hour, and those who were not quite there still had people waiting patiently for their favorite designers to settle.

Twenty First Gallery, New York City, gave one a case of the “ooh shiny,” presenting the glittering work of French sculptor Nathalie Ziegler, who works with specially blown glass from the Verrerie de Saint Just that’s broken into shards and reassembled into unique, signed home furnishings. Ziegler’s green-tone Tree Hanging chandelier hung from the exhibition space’s ceiling, but our eye was drawn to a trio of peacock colored, five-armed candle holders titled “La Forêt,” or “The Forest.” Twenty First also displayed a collection of Ziegler’s mirrors in various sizes, presenting options at a range of prices to create more accessibility for young collectors.

“Sovereignty” (left) and “Double Dutch” (right), by Anina Majors who uses weaving techniques passed down by her family to create glazed stoneware sculptures that feature a dash of sand from her homeland, the Bahamas. Shoshana Wayne Gallery, Los Angeles.

Another sculptor expanding the media was Bahamian artist Anina Major, represented by Shoshana Wayne Gallery, Los Angeles. Descended from artisan basket makers on both sides of her family, Major uses weaving techniques passed down to her to construct her glazed stoneware sculptures. Two of these occupied the far corners of the exhibition space. “Sovereignty” was created with the coiled weaving style used by her father, while “Double Dutch” showed the plait style taught to Anina by Major’s mother. Both were sprinkled with Bahamian sand, a detail she uses to further link the objects with her homeland.

Many artists and designers attended the show to discuss their work with potential customers and admirers. Brian DeMuro and Puru Das of DeMuro Das, Delhi and New York City, unveiled their new LouLou lounge chairs.

Described as “a contemporary interpretation of a club chair,” the LouLou offers a deep seat without dominating a

https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/major-sales-opening-night-at-salon-art-design/

room, emphasizing both comfort and design. Upholstered with tapestry-like fabric in Dedar’s Schwarzwald, or Enchanted Forest, pattern in a few different colors and wood bases, the LouLou also features long, shredded fringe from Houles that moves gracefully along with the chair’s unexpected swivel. “We didn’t want to just do white bouclé,” DeMuro said with a wry smile.

Another designer bringing “a bit of wit” to the classics was Sebastian Errazuriz, who could be found in the David Gill Gallery, London, exhibition space along with a number of his interior pieces. Inspired by antiquity, Errazuriz uses busts and sculptures from the Greco-Roman canon in unexpected, humorously irreverent ways. A prime example was “Athena Lemnia,” a bronze and marble side table featuring the goddess Athena’s inverted head on the underside, and another was a set of ebony, steel and marble composite shelves titled “Bust.” As its name implies, work featured different portrait busts in various states of completion holding up the shelves. Errazuriz’s use of these ancient motifs in this way suggests their simultaneous relevance and irrelevance; they are timeless but ultimately utilitarian when the need arises.

Dating back to 2400 BCE, this Cycladic figure was in “original skin,” meaning it showed no repairs or breaks aside from its lost feet. In the background, a superb Augustan period Dionysus bronze showed emerald and silver eyes, one of which was original. Phoenix Ancient Art, Zurich and New York City.

One of the earliest pieces at Salon was brought by Phoenix Ancient Art, Geneva and New York City, a Cycladean figure made circa 2400 BCE by the Steiner Master. Possibly a “mother goddess” figure, it was in remarkable condition with no repairs or losses aside from its feet, referred to as being in “original skin.” Although their original significance is not exactly known, these figures were intentionally broken before being buried in gravesites.

This example had a long exhibition history, including five museums in the 1980s, and was offered from a private collection.

https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/major-sales-opening-night-at-salon-art-design/

Another rare ancient piece was a tabletop-sized Roman marble sculpture circa the First Century BCE to the First Century CE, “Actaeon Attacked by his Hounds,” presented by Ariadne, London. In the Roman version of this myth, Actaeon was a Theban hero who was caught spying on the bathing goddess Diana, who punished the mortal man by turning him into a stag that was then hunted by his own dogs. This particular sculpture was one of few that exist in private collections, and a similar example was found at Herculaneum and is now in the Vatican Museum.

Circumambulating the sculpture created the illusion of movement, which was especially compelling when contrasted against the surrounding contemporary art.

“Feeding Consciousness,” 2023, was one of many digital installations by Dominic Harris from Halcyon Gallery, London; this example showed “visual snippets” of Google’s top five trending topics, was geo specific and changed from minute to minute.

Across the aisle in the Halcyon Gallery, London, was one such impressive piece from Dominic Harris, a tower composed of small, tablet-like screens that changed every minute to reflect Google’s five trending topics, titled “Feeding Consciousness.” The topics were localized and geo specific, giving “visual snippets” of information. This was Halcyon’s first showing at Salon, and versions of the installation had already been acquired by institutions in the United Kingdom and the United States by opening night.

Salon Art + Design takes place at the Park Avenue Armory, 643 Park Avenue — dates for its 2024 edition are forthcoming. For information, 212-777-5218 or www.thesalonny.com.

Fairfield University Art Museum Receives Art Bridges Foundation Funding FAIRFIELD, CONN. — The Fairfield University Art Museum is the recipient of a threeyear grant totaling $56,000 from the Art Bridges Foundation, the national arts nonprofit founded by philanthropist Alice Walton. The initiative titled “Access for All,” will provide $40 million in funding to 64 museums nationwide.

“Access for All,” aims to increase access to museums across the United States and foster engagement with local communities by covering the costs of free admission days and expanded free hours as well as programming, outreach and community partnerships that together, will eliminate many common barriers to access.

Each museum will have the opportunity to use the funds to develop tailored programming specifically for their communities. The Fairfield University Art Museum is using its funds to support extended hours for the museum. The funding from Art Bridges will allow the museum to be open on Thursdays until 8 pm for the next three years.

Fairfield University Art Muse-

um is one of four museums in Connecticut to receive grant funding, including Mattatuck Museum, New Britain Museum of American Art and Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art. “Fairfield University Art Museum is honored to be a part of Art Bridges’ 'Access for All' initiative, allowing us fulfill our mission of providing the Fairfield County community the opportunity to connect to art, ideas and each other,” said Carey Mack Weber, executive director of the museum. “Our diverse audiences have long asked for extended hours, particularly to accommodate those who work during the day. We hope that this initiative will bring new visitors and new excitement, as well as expanded partnerships, allowing us to welcome more community members than ever before.”

In addition to the Fairfield University Art Museum, museums participating in the Access for All initiative span 36 states and Puerto Rico. The full list of participating museums can be found on the Art Bridges website www. artbridgesfoundation.org.

“Access for All” represents a sweeping effort to get people back to museums after Covid-19 brought declines in revenue, staffing and attendance. With many museums seeing just 71 percent of their pre-pandemic attendance, the new initiative will aim to restore pre-pandemic levels — and open opportunities for all people to enjoy American art by reducing barriers to access and strengthening community relationships.

This initiative positively impacts the accessibility of the exhibition “In Real Times. Arthur Szyk: Artist and Solder for Human Rights,” currently on view in the museum’s Bellarmine Hall Galleries, and “Szyk: The Interactive Experiencee” in the museum’s Walsh Gallery. On view through December 16, starting on November 2, gallery hours will be open Tuesday and Wednesday, 11 am to 4 pm, Thursday, 11 am to 8 pm, and Friday and Saturday, 11 am to 4 pm.

Fairfield University is at 200 Barlow Road. For additional information, 203-254-4046 or www.fairfield.edu.

Major Sales Opening Night At Salon Art + Design

NEW YORK CITY — The 12th edition of the Salon Art + Design at the Park Avenue Armory welcomed more than 2,000 visitors during its dazzling opening night on November 9. Salon was produced by Sanford Smith + Associates, and the premier event was co-

hosted by Nathalie and Laura de Gunzburg. With 50 leading design exhibitors and 12 special design exhibitions from global houses exclusive to Salon, the show was off to a great start with an excellent number of sales from many vendors during the opening.

Two LouLou lounge chairs from DeMuro Das, Delhi and New York City, a reinterpretation of the classic club chair that invites with its shape and delights the eyes with its artisanal fabric and long fringe.

“The Coming of the Mayflower in 1620,” oil on canvas by N.C. Wyeth, presented by Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts, is one of 19 murals commissioned for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company’s New York headquarters at One Madison Avenue. Collectively known as “The New England Series,” Wyeth would finish 14 of these before his untimely, accidental death.

If one is somehow tired of the art and design on display, Salon’s guests provided premium people-watching.

Everywhere one looked, there was an item or booth that was beautiful to behold, dating from ancient artifacts to contemporary tableaus. Salon was open to the public through November 13.

“It’s always like this, though,” said one visitor to another during the early press preview. “Literally the last minute.” Any reader who has produced, sold at or even assisted at such a show can empathize with the controlled chaos of scaffolding, ladders and drinking glass organization that typically ensues right up to opening. Many exhibitors were international but even some locals were down to the wire setting up, a lengthy process in which anything and everything can go wrong. The majority were ready to receive customers within the hour, and those who were not quite there still had people waiting patiently

for their favorite designers to settle.

Twenty First Gallery, New York City, gave one a case of the “ooh shiny,” presenting the glittering work of French sculptor Nathalie Ziegler, who works with specially blown glass from the Verrerie de Saint Just that’s broken into shards and reassembled into unique, signed home furnishings. Ziegler’s green-tone Tree Hanging chandelier hung from the exhibition space’s ceiling, but our eye was drawn to a trio of peacock colored, five-armed candle holders titled “La Forêt,” or “The Forest.” Twenty First also displayed a collection of Ziegler’s mirrors in various sizes, presenting options at a range of prices to create more accessibility for young collectors.

Another sculptor expanding the media was Bahamian artist Anina Major, represented

by Shoshana Wayne Gallery,

Los Angeles. Descended from artisan basket makers on both sides of her family, Major uses weaving techniques passed down to her to construct her glazed stoneware sculptures.

Two of these occupied the far corners of the exhibition space. “Sovereignty” was created with the coiled weaving style used by her father, while “Double Dutch” showed the plait style taught to Anina by Major’s mother. Both were sprinkled with Bahamian sand, a detail she uses to further link the objects with her homeland.

Many artists and designers attended the show to discuss their work with potential customers and admirers. Brian DeMuro and Puru Das of DeMuro Das, Delhi and New York City, unveiled their new LouLou lounge chairs.

Described as “a contemporary interpretation of a club chair,” the LouLou offers a deep seat

“Actaeon Attacked by his Hounds,” an extremely rare and dynamic Roman sculpture with few peers in private collections and even fewer in museums, presented by Ariadne, London.

The Park Avenue Armory’s stately entrance to the Salon Art + Design show would welcome more than 2,000 visitors on opening night.

“This is one of the best pieces in the whole show,” commented one onlooker of André Dubreuil’s “Paris” table, designed in 1988 for A.D. Decorative Arts Ltd. On its surface was a gemstone and crystal bowl from German cutter and artist Helmut Wolf. Karl Kemp, New York City.

Johannes Nagel’s “Tangled Construction III” seemed to become more enmeshed the more one walked around it and was another unconventional porcelain sculpture at Salon. Gallery Fumi, London.

“The combination of concrete and porcelain speaks about the human loss of harmony with nature and the infertility of attempts to restore it,” said Mia Karlova, Karlove Galerie, Amsterdam, Netherlands, of Turkish sculptors Yulia Batyrova and Marat Mukhametov. Titled “The Bird,” this piece was assembled with feather light pieces of porcelain, resembling wings alighting from the heavy concrete block to which it was bound. without dominating a room, emphasizing both comfort and design. Upholstered with tapestry-like fabric in Dedar’s Schwarzwald, or Enchanted Forest, pattern in a few different colors and wood bases, the LouLou also features long, shredded fringe from Houles that moves gracefully along with the chair’s unexpected swivel. “We didn’t want to just do white bouclé,” DeMuro said with a wry smile.

Another designer bringing “a bit of wit” to the classics was Sebastian Errazuriz, who

Donzella, New York City, gave pride of place to this rare display cabinet from Gio Ponti and Piero Fornasetti. Produced by Giordano Chiesa in 1950, the cabinet was fashioned from Ferrara walnut root and decorated with handpainted and lithographic transferprinted wood, showing maps and imagery of Venice. A ceramic vase of the same period from Guido Gambone was a perfect fit and complement to the cabinet.

could be found in the David Gill Gallery, London, exhibition space along with a number of his interior pieces.

Inspired by antiquity, Errazuriz uses busts and sculptures from the Greco-Roman canon in unexpected, humorously irreverent ways. A prime example was “Athena Lemnia,” a bronze and marble side table featuring the goddess Athena’s inverted head on the underside, and another was a set of ebony, steel and marble composite shelves titled “Bust.” As its name implies,

work featured different portrait busts in various states of completion holding up the shelves. Errazuriz’s use of these ancient motifs in this way suggests their simultaneous relevance and irrelevance; they are timeless but ultimately utilitarian when the need arises.

One of the earliest pieces at Salon was brought by Phoenix Ancient Art, Geneva and New York City, a Cycladean figure made circa 2400 BCE by the Steiner Master. Possibly a “mother goddess” figure, it

Nathalie Ziegler’s blown and broken glass creations are mesmerizing to behold, and we could only imagine how these “La Forêt” candleholders would glimmer in soft, flickering light. Twenty First Gallery, New York City.

“Three Pots,” editioned set of 50 color-screened prints signed and numbered by Jonas Wood, cultivated “a tremendous amount of interest” from collectors and museum curators, according to a representative of Zeit Contemporary Art, New York City.

Throckmorton Fine Art, New York City, displayed four ancient Chinese Bi Discs collectively dating from 3200 to 221 BCE on either side of Marc Leuthold’s jade porcelain disc “Reflection,” made in 2022.

Bibliophiles were kept more than busy with Potterton Books, United Kingdom, the only exhibitor exclusively selling monographs, art books and large, glossy designers’ tomes. A few objects presented were a facsimile of Henri Matisse’s 1947 “Jazz,” a circa 1920 sample album of more than 1,100 hand-painted French wallpaper designs and Italian “Wave” paper sculptures made of folded antique books by Crizu.

“Bust” set of shelves by Sebastian Errazuriz, one of the many designers in attendance at Salon, represented by David Gill Gallery, London.

Abask is a United Kingdom-based business that represents more than 250 makers from 50 different countries, making it impossible to choose just one of their objects to feature.

Embracing maximalism in its dining room-designed installation, this was certainly the brightest booth and required many visits to investigate even half of Abask’s goods. This was the company’s United States premiere at Salon.

Yunhwan Kim’s “Unintended Wall Cabinet No. 3” showcased his “respect for the tradition of cabinet making and sculptural furniture,” made from sandblasted ash wood that seemed to move as the doors opened to reveal a black mirror on the cabinet’s interior. Hanging on either side are “Infusion Pendants” by Jamie Harris, LED pendant lamps specially designed to appear as color field paintings. Todd Merrill Studio, New York City and Southampton, N.Y.

British-American artist Anthony James creates installations and sculptures of all sizes with two-way mirrors and LED lights framed in brushed steel, notably with his 97-inch-high crystal piece displayed in the 2020 Mayfair Sculpture Trail, London. This was a smaller example, only about waistheight, presented by Opera Gallery, New York City (one of 16 locations).

Dating back to 2400 BCE, this Cycladic figure was in “original skin,” meaning it showed no repairs or breaks aside from its lost feet.

Galerie Philia, which has locations in Geneva, New York City and Singapore, titled their design gallery “Reflect,” which was all but empty save for a few works by select artists, including Cédric Breisacher, Elsa Foulon, Philip Jividen, Morghen and William Guillon, to create a space for Salon patrons and exhibitors to “reflect” upon the current crisis in Israel and Gaza. From Philia’s website, “Dialogue and mutual understanding is the only way. Coexistence is the only way. Peace is the only way.” was in remarkable condition with no repairs or losses aside from its feet, referred to as being in “original skin.”

Although their original significance is not exactly known, these figures were intentionally broken before being buried in gravesites.

This example had a long exhibition history, including five museums in the 1980s, and was offered from a private collection.

Another rare ancient piece was a tabletop-sized Roman marble sculpture circa the First Century BCE to the First Century CE, “Actaeon Attacked by his Hounds,” presented by Ariadne, London. In the Roman version of this myth, Actaeon was a Theban hero who was caught spying on the bathing goddess Diana, who punished the mortal man by turning him into a stag that was then hunted by his own dogs. This particular sculpture was one of few that exist in private collections, and a similar example was

found at Herculaneum and is now in the Vatican Museum.

Circumambulating the sculpture created the illusion of movement, which was especially compelling when contrasted against the surrounding contemporary art.

Across the aisle in the Halcyon Gallery, London, was one such impressive piece from Dominic Harris, a tower composed of small, tablet-like screens that changed every minute to ref lect Google’s five trending topics, titled “Feeding Consciousness.” The topics were localized and geo specific, giving “visual snippets” of information. This was Halcyon’s first showing at Salon, and versions of the installation had already been acquired by institutions in the United Kingdom and the United States by opening night.

Looking rather lonely, but not for long, was François-Xavier Lalanne’s bronze patina, epoxy and concrete “Brebis” from his “Nouveaux Moutons” series, signed, dated and numbered under the muzzle with the inscription “Blanchet Fondeur.” Galerie Marcilhac, Paris.

Humans Since 1982 was a solo installation featuring the Stockholm-based studio founded by Bastian Bischoff and Per Emanuelsson in 2009, hosted by The Spaceless Gallery, Paris and Miami Beach, Fla. “A million Times 120” was one of a few mesmerizing, editioned kinetic sculptures, which “subvert clocks by presenting them as art objects,” whose hands would move and form to give a digital reading of the time.

“Feeding Consciousness,” 2023, was one of many digital installations by Dominic Harris from Halcyon Gallery, London; this example showed “visual snippets” of Google’s top five trending topics, was geo specific and changed from minute to minute.

Den Holm’s “Ronin Chair,” unexpectedly crafted from dyed Australian limestone, was decorated with various hand-drawn designs, including useful instructions for sitting on it.

John Morris, Art Show Producer & Rock And Roll Promoter, 84

SANTA FE, N.M. — John H. Morris Jr of Santa Fe, N.M., the creator and first managing director of The Fillmore East rock and roll theatre in New York City, and the production manager of the original Woodstock Festival of Art and Music, died at his Santa Fe home Friday, November 10, after a long illness.

Born in Grammercy Park, N.Y., in 1939, Morris studied theater at Carnegie Tech. At the age of 25, after a brief career as a lighting designer off-Broadway, on London’s West End, and at Peter Cook’s The Stroller’s Club in New York, Morris launched his career as a theatrical producer. He acquired the rights to Peter Cook’s satirical British productions, The Establishment and Cambridge Circus, and toured the shows across the United States with casts, including John Cleese, Cass Elliot, Peter Bellwood and Joe Maher.

In July of 1967, during “the summer of love,” Morris produced his first rock and roll concert, a free show in Toronto, Canada’s City Hall square, featuring Jefferson Airplane, which drew a crowd of more than 50,000, second in size only to The Beatles’ Shea Stadium concert the year before.

The show was to promote a week-long Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead rock and roll residency at Toronto’s O’Keefe Theatre produced by Morris and fellow Carnegie Tech alum Joshua White for West Coast rock and roll empresario, Bill Graham.

In Toronto, Morris and White introduced elaborate theatrical staging to the world of rock and roll, including the first psychedelic light show projected from behind a giant screen. Their theatrical innovations in concert production have evolved into today’s elaborate staging of popular music shows and festivals.

Morris produced Jefferson Airplane’s first East Coast tour before rejoining White in December of 1967, to produce a weeklong Festival of Light and Music at the Minneola Theatre, featuring shows by Frank Zappa, Vanilla Fudge, Tim Buckley and Ravi Shankar, that formally launched the psychedelic Joshua Light Show.

Morris then produced rock concerts at the Anderson Theatre on New York’s Second Avenue for Crawdaddy magazine, where, with Janis Joplin’s New York City premier, he convinced Bill Graham to open an East Coast theatrical version of his already legendary San Francisco’s psychedelic rock ballroom.

Eighteen days after Graham and partners, including Bob Dylan’s agent Albert Grossman, acquired Lowes lower East Side Village Theater, Morris, and a crew that included theater tech students from NYU, led by Professor Chris Langhart, opened The Fillmore East with Janis Joplin, BB King, Tim Buckley and the Joshua Light Show on the marquee.

After co-producing the first European concert tours for Jefferson Airplane and The Doors with Doors manager Bill Siddons, Morris was invited to join the production team for the Woodstock Festival of Art and Music. For Woodstock, Morris booked most of the bands which would appear at Woodstock, assuring that both the relatively unknown Santana, Country Joe and the Fish and Joe Cocker were on the bill.

During the iconic, but weather-plagued three-day festival, where a crowd anticipated to be 100,000 grew to an estimated half a million, Morris was the principal master of ceremonies and is recognized as “the voice” of Woodstock, having made the now famous announcement, “It’s a free concert from now on.”

After moving to England in 1970 to organize the European Producers Association and promote touring US rock bands, Morris launched London’s first rock and roll theatre, The Rainbow, in Finsbury Park, with The Who as its opening act, November 4, 1971.

Morris continued to produce rock and roll events throughout Europe and the United States until 1990, including 19 Grateful Dead concerts; the premier European tour of Paul and Linda McCartney’s post-Beatles band, Wings; and tours with Ike and Tina Turner, Chuck Berry, New Riders of the Purple Sage and Santana. His production companies, Jumping Jack Productions in the United Kingdom and Europe, and Cadogan Productions in the United States, mounted concerts for artists such as Stevie Ray Vaugh, David Bowie, Pink Floyd and Frank Zappa. He also acted as manager for Otis Redding, the Danish band Gasolin’ and Japanese jazz musician, Stomu Yamashta, producing Yamashta’s third album, Go Too for Arista Records.

A collector and student of Native American art and artifacts since boyhood, Morris opened a Native American antiques store in London in 1973, The Bear Creek Trading company. In 1995, he joined with Kim R. Martindale to produce antiques, fine art and design shows, throughout the United States. For the next 28 years, their antiquities shows, Native American art shows and Objects of Art shows were produced in Santa Fe, N.M., New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Scottsdale and Napa, Calif.

The son of John H. Morris and Louise Morris, John’s Grammercy Park childhood in New York City was interrupted when his father returned to active duty in the US Army during the Korean War, and he attended sixth grade in three states, before the family settled in Pleasantville, N.Y., following the war.

John H. Morris Jr is survived by his partner of 33 years, Luzann Fernandez of

Santa Fe; brother, Mark Morris of Sneden’s Landing, N.Y.; nephew, Eric Morris of Los Angeles; nieces, Nicole Merrick and her husband, Keil; Marie Fernandez and her husband, Guillermo Serrano Terren; and Katie Fernandez; grandnephews, Oliver and Charlie Merrick, and grandniece, Kate Merrick.

Morris is also survived by a world of loyal and loving friends drawn to him over a

lifetime on concert stages, sailing adventures, photographic safaris, dinner tables, art show f loors and pickup football games.

Plans for a Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.

The family requests that in lieu of f lowers, donations may be made in Morris’ memory to Assistance Dogs of the West in Santa Fe (www.assistancedogsofthewest.org/).

Larger and longer: the new Winter Olympia look

by Frances Allitt The Winter Art & Antiques Fair Olympia has a larger and longer staging planned for this year.

Running from October 30 to November 5, the event has not only an extra full day on last year’s fair, but also longer opening hours. Doors now open to the public at 10am rather than 10.30am and each day runs until 6pm.

There are two exceptions: the late opening on the Tuesday, when it closes at 9pm, and Sunday when it shuts at 5pm.

It is also moving venue, taking place in the west London exhibition centre’s Grand Hall. It continues to run in the

Right: Palissy-style ‘art of the earth’ basin, 1856, $40,000 (£33,350) at Strawser, with detail top.

Continued on page 4

Earthly pleasures This Palissy-style ‘art of the earth’ basin is inscribed and dated Avisseau, Tours, 1856 for Charles-Jean Avisseau (1795-1861).

The French ceramicist, based in Saint-Pierredes-Corps, is often credited with rediscovering the techniques of Bernard Palissy (c.1510-90) although his ambitious creations often went well beyond those of the Renaissance potter.

This 22in (55cm) dish teams with life, from a pike

lying in a pool of water to the centre to a lush border populated by lizards, a snake and a frog, each coloured with a different glaze. Similar items were exhibited by Avisseau at the Great Exhibition in 1851.

As a large, signed and dated example it sold well above its $2000-3000 estimate to an internet bidder for $40,000 (£33,350) plus 23% buyer’s premium as part of the majolica sale at Strawser’s auction in Indiana on August 23.

1 How did you get your start?

After joining Sotheby’s from school as a sales clerk, I went into the Japanese department. I stayed for 18 years, then joined Barry Davies, one of the main dealers at the time until I was able to set up on my own in 1995. After a short period working from home I found my gallery in St James’s where I shall remain (no desire for retirement).

in November. Constant research is one of the joys of this profession.

2 What is one great discovery you have made?

As far as objects are concerned, I recognised and purchased one of the greatest pieces by the Kyoto enamel maker Namikawa Yasuyuki (18451927), found unattributed in an auction catalogue (before catalogues existed online) and subsequently sold it for a record price.

3 What is something you’d love to get your hands on – a ‘holy grail’ in your area?

I’d like that vase back. Otherwise, the set of 12 bronze falcons made by Suzuki Chokichi for the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair and now in the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo. Pretty unlikely to get either!

4 Do you collect personally?

Here we pick out one that caught our eye this week.

Blue John, the soft, semi-precious mineral mined only in Derbyshire, reached the height of its popularity in the 19th century. It was used for ornamental purposes, and was made into jewellery, vases, tables and even the windows of some stately homes.

Kendall House Antiques of Chipping Campden offers a pair of Blue John lanterns, c.1890, for £7500. The gothic revival lanterns with Millers Vein panels are probably the work of RG Lomas.

When they were discovered recently they were in original condition with some of the panels broken or missing. The lanterns were taken to Treak Cliff Cavern where replacement panels were mined and prepared and the lanterns are offered with ceiling roses, their original hanging chains and bulb holder.

by Laura Chesters The Antiquities Dealers’ Association (ADA) has spoken out against claims made by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office and Homeland Security Investigations.

In a press release issued on October 10, the Manhattan District Attorney stated 19 antiquities collectively valued at nearly $19m had been returned to Italy and listed a series of individual dealers that

it is investigating who it described as “major antiquities traffickers”.

Following the press release’s publication and articles written on the topic in several media outlets including Antiques Trade Gazette’s website, Joanna van der Lande, chairman of the ADA, issued a statement questioning many of the claims made in the press release i n clu d i n g t h e d e a l e r s mentioned and the valuations put on the objects returned.

Dealers’ Diary

Fairs flurry means a need for hurry A string of events gave a welcome chance to do business but was an intensive time for many dealers

by Frances Allitt Results from a flurry of fairs early this autumn prove there is plenty of space for such events in the London market.

The season started with a bang.

The LAPADA Berkeley Square Fair ran from September 27-October 1 while the British Art Fair (BAF) took place at the Saatchi Gallery from September 28-October 1.

They were closely followed by the Decorative Antiques and Textiles Fair (DATF) and Tribal Art London running together at Battersea Evolution from October 3-8.

For some exhibitors, the concentration of fairs meant a demanding schedule. Twentieth century British art dealer Freya Mitton was among a large group of dealers standing at more than one of the events, in her case LAPADA and BAF. She set up her stand at Berkeley Square and stayed at LAPADA for the first two days before departing for the Saatchi Gallery. The model worked for her. Mitton had seasoned representatives to man the stand at LAPADA and she has deep affection for both fairs.

The “very glamorous, very highend crowd” at Berkeley Square gave rise to her higher value sales, while she noticed a more “academic” group of visitors and “niche collectors” at BAF where she parted with more by volume. There was even a handful of buyers she recounted visiting from out of town and luxuriating in the choice of two London fairs at once.

“It was good to see things picking up after the summer,” she said, but added that it was a “very busy, very intense week”.

Mitton was among many who hoped this collection of fairs would have space between them in the future. The London events also overlapped with the Northern Antiques Fair (September 28-October 1) in Leyburn (more in a future issue).

Robust numbers On the other hand, results from the various events suggest that there is space in the market to sustain them all. Visitor numbers were robust with 3000 coming through LAPADA on opening night alone and nearly 56 | 28 October 2023

3. Timewise Vintage Watches sold this Patek Philippe 1951 watch for £17,500 at LAPADA. 4. An Artichoke ceiling light by Danish designer Poul Henningsen ticketed at £15,000 was sold by Foster & Gane during the Battersea decorative fair.

Both events recorded strong sales, too. Macconnal-Mason kicked off LAPADA with the sale of more than £500,000 worth of works on preview night including a Lowry picture. Other stand-out sales during the fair included a suit of Samurai armour that went from David Thatcher for £90,000, a Patek Philippe 1951 watch which Timewise Vintage Watches offered for £17,500 and a work of Contemporary

inkwells, originally sold by Liberty as part of its Cymric silver range, for a ƼZI ƼKYVI EQSYRX at LAPADA. 6. The Home Bothy sold an archaic carved limestone Janus head from the private collection of a Surrealist artist in France to an existing private customer at a ticket price of more than £5000 at Battersea.

7. Freya Mitton sold John Wells’ Journey into Space for a ƼZI ƼKYVI sum to an established collector at British Art Fair.

Thousands of items are available to buy from dealers online.

Here we pick out one that caught our eye this week.

6 The Hungarian-born artist Nickolas Muray (1892-1965) is best remembered for his photographs of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, though he shot many celebrities from Greta Garbo to Marilyn Monroe.

This picture of her in a blue dress was taken in 1939 around the height of the two artists’ decade-long affair, which ended the following year when Kahlo remarried Diego Rivera.

This particular print, which New York gallery Throckmorton Fine Art offers at the Salon Art + Design Fair (November 9-13), was printed by contemporary photographer Tod Gangler. One of only a handful of people who still use the process of carbon printing or tri-colour printing, he produces his own works and reproduces those of others using the process. It takes five ays an a s ession of 9 steps to reate ea h print.

Jenna Burlingham, specialist in Modern British Art, was among those standing at two fairs, and after departing from BAF headed across town and set up at Battersea.

An extra 12 dealers joined fresh from LAPADA. They included Precious Flora and Timewise Vintage Watches, Jeroen Markies Art Deco, Hickmet Fine Arts and M&D Moir.

Burlingham said: “I also go straight from Islington (London Art Fair) to Battersea in January. I prefer back-to-back than simultaneously or a week in between. I’m quite used to it now. We don’t completely split our stock up for the two fairs but we do put a different emphasis on the second week. Battersea is more decorative and contemporary, it’s a different sort of marketplace.”

Though she said that both fairs were a success for the gallery, “neither of them were fliers. The market is there but you have to work hard. The people you meet can be as important as the actual sales. For us, the trick is that we also have our gallery open at the same time. We have to have it all working when we go away.”

Taking place three times per year, Battersea is now the longest continuously running of the vetted London antiques fairs. This was its first sold-out edition since the start of the pandemic, and the antiquestradegazette.com

atmosphere was buoyant. Dealers noted international buyers and young crowds, particularly on the weekend.

Notable sales included the star piece at Martin D Johnson, a Holland & Sons table made for Windsor Castle which went for a five-figure sum to a US decorator for their personal collection.

Foster & Gane, meanwhile, parted with a Roman mosaic set as a low table offered for £16,500, Chalet White parted with a long set of 12 Georgian dining chairs after Robert Manwaring ticketed at five-figures, and Dorian Caffot de Fawes reported his best opening day to date finding a new home for a pair of Arts & Crafts chair ticketed at £3300.

For seasoned Battersea exhibitor Joe Chaffer of Vagabond Antiques, who came to this edition after his first appearance at LAPADA “the switch to Battersea was seamless. It was like coming home.”

Even the Olsens Stopped By This NYC Design Fair—Here’s What Caught Our Eye Salon Art + Design’s 12th edition was a certified showstopper.

The 12th installment of Salon Art + Design, held once again at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City, drew more than 2,000 visitors—including the twins Olsen, Linda Fargo, and Colin King—on its opening night this past weekend. On display was a curated assortment of vintage, modern, and contemporary design and art presented by more than 50 influential exhibitors. Noteworthy sales were reported, featuring iconic pieces by the likes of Karl Springer and Carlo Bugatti. However, it was a number of distinctive works from independent galleries and showrooms that particularly caught our eye. Here, we highlight a few of our favorite discoveries from the exhibition.

DEMURO DAS

The New Delhi– and New York City–based studio DeMuro Das, founded by Brian DeMuro and Puru Das, presented the LouLou, a contemporary spin (pun intended) on a classic lounge chair that sits on a swiveling base and was shown in a Dedar fabric with fringe by Houlès. —Sean Santiago

Artist Jeremy R. Anderson shared a pair of lamps he cheekily dubbed his Uptown Ladies, in collaboration with London-based Gallery Fumi. They were inspired, according to Anderson’s Instagram, by the stylish women of New York City who come to the Armory “dressed in their finest.” —S.S.

This vintage 1970s silver snail ice bucket is one of many standout pieces on offer from the new British online design retailer Abask. Others from the brand’s booth included a Josef Hoffmann sterling-and-lapis coffee service and a collection of throws by Studio Shamshiri. —Bebe Howorth

MAISON GERARD

Niamh Barry

Irish designer and artist Niamh Barry’s calling card is her monumental bronze light fixtures, but her latest, a chandelier comprising eight large components, is among her most complex. Inspired by the golden artifacts found in the Broighter Hoard in Ireland, the work manages to feel both weighty in its meaning and weightless in its proportions. —Helena Madden

Painter and sculptor Joy de Rohan Chabot, a longtime Dior Maison collaborator, showed off a series of new pieces with the Paris-based Galerie Chastel-Maréchal.

A request for proposals will be launched next month for the adaptive reuse of the Bronx’s Kingsbridge Armory

By Dan Roche

One-hundred-year-old, hulking brick fortresses that once housed gigatons of gunpowder, dynamite, and rifles built by the military are sprinkled throughout New York City. They’re hard to miss. You may have stumbled across one flâneuring the tree-lined streets of Park Slope or Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn; or Park Avenue in Manhattan.

With them no longer in use, what should we do with them? Last week, the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) announced plans for the adaptive reuse of the Kingsbridge Armory in the northwest Bronx; the largest armory in the United States. It was built between 1912 and 1917 during World War One and was owned by the military until 1996 when it was handed over to the city. For decades, it has sat dormant.

Recently, state and city officials paired up with WXY architecture + urban design, Buro Happold, AKRF, Toscano Clements Taylor, Jablonski Building Conservation, artist Manuel Miranda, and the nonprofit Hester Street to participate in a feasibility study and community engagement process to reimagine the Bronx castle.

https://www.archpaper.com/2023/08/a-request-for-proposals-will-be-launched-next-month-for-theadaptive-reuse-of-the-bronxs-kingsbridge-armory/

The Kingsbridge Armory is a 570,000 square foot open-air vault that takes up several city blocks. The $200 million project backed by the NYCEDC, Governor Hochul, and local community leaders is part of Mayor Eric Adams’s Rebuild, Renew, Reinvent: A Blueprint for New York City’s Economic Recovery, a plan which prioritizes job creation in the Bronx. In the past nine months, project officials engaged over 4,000 people to inform the Together for Kingsbridge Vision Plan. The NYCEDC claims that the project could create 1,800 jobs, including 1,100 construction jobs, and deliver $10 billion in economic impact.

“From the onset of our administration, we said we were committed to working with our community partners to reimagine the Kingsbridge Armory, and we are now one step closer to doing just that with the ‘Together for Kingsbridge Vision Plan’,” Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson said in the press release. “It is exciting to see so many of our residents, merchants, elected officials, and community leaders participate in this process as well as their shared interest in making this a space that can not only benefit Kingsbridge Heights but the entire borough.”

To date, other armories in New York City have enjoyed second lives. The Park Avenue Armory is one of the most popular art spaces in the city, having hosted performances by world-renowned artists and serving as the annual venue for the Salon Art + Design show. The Park Slope Armory in Brooklyn was converted into a YMCA after World War One. In 2022, the city hired Freeform Deform and Urbane to help transform the Bed-Stuy Armory on Marcus Garvey Boulevard, built in 1894. In the years prior, the Bedford Union Armory in Crown Heights was transformed into a community center.

Until August 25, the public can tour the Kingsbridge Armory every Friday on scheduled visits. The NYCEDC invites local developers and organizations to get involved in its transformation. More information about the project can be found here.

Dominic Harris opens his acclaimed ‘Feeding Consciousness’ exhibition at Salon Art + Design in New York

By Donna Salek

Leading British digital artist Dominic Harris opens his acclaimed exhibition Feeding Consciousness exhibition at Halcyon Gallery’s space in Salon Art + Design in New York today. Featuring 50 exceptional exhibitors from around the world, Salon Art + Design is one of the most influential collectible design and art fairs and showcases blue-chip 20th-century art as well as leading designers, from vintage to modern and contemporary.

London-based Halcyon Gallery is making its debut at Salon Art + Design this year and chose to feature Feeding Consciousness after the exhibition’s hugely successful run at its Mayfair gallery this summer.

https://artplugged.co.uk/dominic-harris-opens-his-acclaimed-feeding-consciousness-exhibition-at-salonart-design-in-new-york/

Arctic Souls by Dominic Harris triptych front gallery view

Kate Brown, Creative Director at Halcyon Gallery, said: “We are so excited to be taking part in Salon Art + Design this year with Dominic Harris, one of the leading artists in the fast-moving digital space. It’s been another great year for Dominic and Halcyon Gallery and we’re looking forward to introducing Dominic to a whole new audience as well as people who are already familiar with his work. The Salon Art + Design art fair is a great way to do just that.”

Visitors to Halcyon Gallery’s exhibition space at Salon Art + Design will be invited to explore Harris’s intricately created worlds, from the natural environment to the Gods of Olympus, the financial markets and online news to the polar ice caps, all brought to life using Harris’ unique, immersive and interactive methods.

In Feeding Consciousness, Harris takes his artistic skill and technical expertise to even greater heights to produce movement and interaction in magical and mythical settings, from underwater worlds to the frozen Antarctic tundra. Visitors can enter the worlds of Zeus, Poseidon and Atlas and ‘play God’ by interacting with and disrupting the environment, making the sun rise and set, and creating lightning strikes to light up the night sky.

Harris’ landmark innovation, and namesake for the exhibition, is a 10-foot digital sculpture inspired by the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel. Harnessing Artificial Intelligence and datasets, the artwork acts as a feed of the country’s collective consciousness, presenting the top five trending subjects on Google’s UK search engine. The topics dominating the communal psyche are splashed across the tower’s 180 LCD screens and accompanying split-flap Solari display.

Dominic Harris World Stage USA Landscape

Harris’s connection with Halcyon Gallery goes back several years, launching his first exhibition with the gallery in 2019. The exhibition, titled Imagine, featured an immersive and retrospective display of Harris’ work in the largest single exhibition of his pieces to date and included iconic works such as the butterflies of Flutter Wall, one of his earlier works which first propelled Harris into prominence in the art world.

Established in 1982, Halcyon Gallery specialises in modern and contemporary art, representing both established and emerging artists, such as Bob Dylan and Dominic Harris, and is a revered leader in master artist works, including Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso and David Hockney. The gallery curates a modern art programme including large-scale public installations and museum-scale exhibitions in the UK and internationally.

Born in London in 1976, Dominic Harris is expert at using technology to interpret and reveal the world around us.

Originally trained as an architect, since 2007 Dominic has operated from his own studio in Notting Hill, London, where he and his team create his artworks and installations.

Drawing inspiration from art history, classical texts, pop art, Victorian inventions, nature and everyday icons, Harris’s works have caught the eye of collectors including McLaren’s Ron Dennis, Google’s Eric Schmidt and billionaire philanthropist Leonard Lauder, and his distinctive artworks have graced such diverse locations as Heathrow Airport, Tower Bridge and a Norwegian cruise ship.

https://artplugged.co.uk/dominic-harris-opens-his-acclaimed-feeding-consciousness-exhibition-at-salonart-design-in-new-york/

Harris’ visual inventions have been digitally painted by hand through a process that is comparable to traditional oil painting, though his use of technology as a means to produce movement and interaction, creates an immediacy with the viewer that no ordinary still life ever could. Said Harris: “The artworks I create are about interactive storytelling. By using technology in ways that were previously impossible, I draw the viewer in to become immersed in the artwork.

The ultimate objective is to stimulate the viewer to feel more deeply, and in doing so to reveal something about themselves.” Salon Art + Design takes place at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from 9 – 13 November, Featuring 50 exceptional exhibitors from around the world, Salon presents leading design, vintage to modern and contemporary and blue-chip 20th-century art.

As January dawned, and before most people had even taken down their holiday decorations, art-world denizens had already begun to jet-set around the world to get ahead on a calendar year chock-a-block with events.

Although some fairs, like Masterpiece London, have cancelled their 2023 editions, the fate of others, like FIAC, remains in the balance. We’ve rounded up all of the fairs we could confirm for the upcoming 12 months, from Morocco to Mexico, and everywhere in between. There are a handful of fairs that have yet to announce their dates for this year; but we’ll keep an eye out and continue to update this list as more information becomes available.

Salon Art & Design Director Jill Bokor Embraces Outsider Art and Calls Her Berkshires Home a ‘Blank Canvas’ for Her Collection We asked the director of New York's Salon Art + Design fair what she values in art and life.

By Katie White

So much of the art world orbits around questions of value, not only in terms of appraisals and price tags, but also: What is worthy of your time in these times, as well as your energy, your attention, and yes, your hard-earned cash?

What is the math that you do to determine something’s meaning and worth? What moves you? What enriches your life? In this new series, we’re asking individuals from the art world and beyond about the valuations that they make at a personal level. https://news.artnet.com/art-world/jill-bokor-salon-art-design-director-valuations-2388334/amp-page

Jill Bokor is a born and bred New Yorker—with the style and wit to prove it. She is also an icon of the city’s art world and has spent over 30 years in the cultural sphere—working across art, design, and philanthropy. A living lexicon of the city’s cultural history, Bokor proudly counts numerous gallerists, designers, and collectors as her closest friends.

Today, the executive director of the Salon Art & Design, Bokor brings her characteristic acuity and eye for style to the highly anticipated annual art and design fair hosted at the Park Avenue Armory. Now in its 12th edition, this year’s Salon Art & Design (November 10–13, preview November 9) will include special design exhibitions hosted within the venue’s historic rooms on the entry floor.

Bokor’s passion for the arts crosses into her personal life, too, and she is the owner of a dazzling design collection of 19th-century to 21st-century objects with a special focus on Outsider art. On weekends, Bokor treasures time with her beloved pooch, William, a mini-Aussie Shepherd, and loves to fill her home with vases of pink peonies.

Ahead of the fair, we sat down with Bokor to discover what she values in art and life—and why.

What is the last thing that you splurged on?

Liberty fabrics and a Biedermeier dining table. I recently bought a house in the Berkshires. It’s a 1989 structure, somewhat loft-like and airy and best of all very much a blank canvas for both vintage and contemporary art and design.

Pressed plants in resin and glass vessel and base by Tom Glancy.

https://news.artnet.com/art-world/jill-bokor-salon-art-design-director-valuations-2388334/amp-page

What makes you feel like a million bucks?

My career. I have been incredibly blessed to spend the last 40 years looking at art and design on a daily basis.

Having worked at an auction house, run art and design publications, owned a gallery, and finally created Salon Art + Design, I have pinched myself over the years to realize my days have been spent touching, examining, and viewing works of great beauty and accomplishment, and getting paid for it!

What do you think is your greatest asset?

Empathy. I was always the kid who brought home wounded animals. Something I try never to lose sight of is the beingness and feelings of others whether it’s a petulant child or an artist who is struggling to find his/her/their voice. It also reminds me that without the dark there can be no stars.

What do you most value in a work of History, intimacy, and engagement. The works I am attracted to tend to be contextual and very personal.

art?

Group of Outsider watercolors by Janice Kennedy from the 1990s.

Who is an emerging artist worthy of everyone’s attention?

Stefan Kurten. He is actually a mid-career artist who paints idylls of midcentury scenes, houses, and interiors. Born in postwar Germany, the works are, on the surface, dreams of peace and perfection. The structures are all classically mid-century, but most don’t exist. He told me that when he was young, he and his family would drive all around looking at architecture and that he always kept these scapes in his mind. They are domestic and tranquil or full of gnarled trees, cacti, bushes, and brambles, juxtaposing perfect order and potential chaos. Beauty and order are paired with a hint of something darker and his palettes frequently suggest the coming of a storm or disturbance.

https://news.artnet.com/art-world/jill-bokor-salon-art-design-director-valuations-2388334/amp-page

Who is an overlooked artist who hasn’t yet gotten their due?

Helen Torr was better known for her marriage to Arthur Dove than for her own career as an artist. Stieglitz showed her work in the early 1930s. After that she was occasionally part of a group show. I first saw her work at Graham Gallery In the ’80s and was very taken with it. The work is an exemplar of early Modernism and, though her paintings are in collections like the Met, the BFA, and the Philips, she never became part of the canon of American Modernism.

What, in your estimation, is the most overrated thing in the art world?

NFTs. Maybe it’s very old-school and a non-courant way to love art, but for me, art on pixels disallows the use of all of our senses.

Bokor’s beloved mini Aussie, William.

What is your most treasured possession?

Aside from my son, Luc, and my mini Aussie Shepherd, William, it would be my grandfather’s cufflink box. It’s made of old tooled leather from the 1920s, with his initials on top. It has traveled with me to every home I’ve ever lived in, so it’s resided in many many places.

https://news.artnet.com/art-world/jill-bokor-salon-art-design-director-valuations-2388334/amp-page

What’s been your best investment?

The work of the Outsider artist James Castle. His work was shown at the Outsider Art Fair in the late eighties. The soot and spit drawings of rural America (he was from Idaho and lived there most of his life), his drawings of interiors, farm scenes, houses, and barns spoke to me of intimacy and engagement. Castle was deaf and probably illiterate and is a wonderful reminder of what can be achieved even without the full use of one’s senses. The detail in the works; pieces of furniture, wallpaper, household knick-knacks, on such a tiny scale forces the viewer to look closely, reminding him/her/they how miraculous tiny prosaic things can be. I bought a few of them for $350 in 1987.

What is something small that means the world to you?

It would have to be a little carved wooden pig with wings by an anonymous Outsider artist with the legend “sometimes pigs really do fly.”

What’s not worth the hype?

Commodification. When I started in the art world in the ’80s, Impressionism was all the rage. Names became more important than the works themselves and people were paying large prices to be able to say they had a (fill in the artist) in their collection, even if it was an inferior work. I do think that collectors have become more discerning, but the issue of breaking records at auction certainly exists more than ever. Whenever I have been asked about the potential value of a work of art I would respond “don’t buy it if you don’t love it.’

What do you believe is a worthy cause?

Taking each and every possible measure to ensure that Donald Trump does not become president again.

What do you Balance and discipline. I’m studying to be a dog trainer.

5 Covetable Objects From Salon Art + Design in New York, From a Giacometti Bronze to a Rare Gio Ponti Cabinet The 12th edition of the art and design fair runs from November 9–12 at the Park Avenue Armory.

By Lee Carter

Long a highlight of New York City’s fall arts calendar, Salon Art + Design is back at the Park Avenue Armory for 2023. The 12th edition, taking place from November 9–12, brings together over 50 leading exhibitors in the collectible design space from around the world.

“We want Salon to provide a sense of discovery for our audiences, which includes both seasoned and entry-level collectors alike,” said executive director Jill Bokor. “While Salon is known for showing some of the most worldrenowned galleries in design, we also want the fair to serve as a platform for burgeoning galleries who are showcasing some of the most cutting-edge design.”

Newcomer galleries Guy Regal NYC and Mercado Moderno, among others, join returning exhibitors Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts, Cristina Grajales, Galerie Chastel-Maréchal, and Maison Gerard. Together, they present an outstanding array of collectible items ranging from furniture, studio glass, and ceramics to Japanese art and jewelry—an eclectic mix of vintage, modern, and contemporary designs, as well as blue-chip art.

Here, we take a closer look at five of the remarkable objects that will be on view at Salon Art + Design.

https://news.artnet.com/market/salo-art-design-2023-highlights-2392521

Gio Ponti Donzella, New York

and

Piero

Fornasetti, Trumeau Cabinet

Gio Ponti and Piero Fornasetti, ‘Trumeau’ cabinet (1950).

Brought by Donzella, this extraordinary cabinet, a collaboration between Gio Ponti and his protégé Piero Fornasetti, was made for the Milan home of the Ceccatos—of Dulciora confectionary fame—to display their collection of Chinese porcelains.

“This was during the peak time for these two artists to be working together,” said Paul Donzella. The gallerist noted that its structure—made of walnut root from the Ferrara region of Italy—was designed by Ponti and its surface decorated by Fornasetti, including the lower doors featuring an aerial view of Venice by the 15th-century printmaker Jacopo de’ Barbari. All of the major pieces from the Ceccato house, including this bureau, were built by the master cabinet-maker Giordano Chiesa. “Finding the trifecta of Ponti, Fornasetti, and Chiesa is extremely rare.”

Ponti and Fornasetti have become celebrated icons of 20th-century Italian design. “This was a very avant-garde piece for its time,” added Donzella, “and I believe that Ponti’s idea of mashing up old ideas with a new approach in execution makes it just as avant-garde today.”

This and the other contents of the Ceccato home remained with the family until they were sold at Christie’s London in March 2006, when the cabinet was purchased by famed design dealer Peter Loughrey. Following his death in 2020, it was acquired by Donzella.

Asking price: $240,000

Ted Kurahara, Cadmium Carole Davenport, New York

Red

Medium

and

Deep

Ted Kurahara, Cadmium Red Medium and Deep (2015).

Carole Davenport, a specialist in Japanese art, has brought a striking crimson-red painting by the artist Ted Kurahara, who just celebrated his 98th birthday yet continues to pick up the paintbrush, said the dealer. Kurahara started his characteristically layered, enigmatic blocks of color with a series of white paintings in 1981. These contemplative works derive from a variety of inspirations, most notably haiku poetry, which his father wrote and he himself makes a point of reading.

The subtle variations between light and dark in Kurahara’s monochromes lend depth and dimension, blending contemporary American abstraction with traditional Japanese mark-making. “[Since] the 8th century,” said Davenport, “small wooden pagodas were created as devotional images for important temples in the Buddhist faith.

They are a testament to the Japanese attention to clarity of form and design.”

Asking price: over $45,000

https://news.artnet.com/market/salo-art-design-2023-highlights-2392521

Rudolf Livora, Girl Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts, East Hampton

With

Flute Tapestry

Rudolf Livora, Girl With Flute tapestry (ca. 1908).

As the Arts and Crafts movement swept across Europe at the turn of the 20th century, cottage industries sprung up as part of a socially conscious program to bring meaningful jobs to remote areas. This was the case with the Czech region of Moravia, where the painter and teacher Rudolf Livora lived and worked. He was one of the key designers at the Tapestry Manufactory, a center for woven works of modern design, where he created this mesmerizing tapestry, Girl With Flute (ca. 1908), using multiple colors, intricate patterns, and hand-woven techniques.

Livora was also a puppeteer who was inspired by the traditional handicrafts of the Slovácko region of Moravia in the southeastern part of Czechoslovakia, known for its lively folklore, music, and puppetry. His work designing for the Czech Association of Puppet Theatre Friends and the Sokol Hodonín Puppet Theatre, which he founded and directed, reflect his interest in the popular art of the time.

Asking price: $115,000 Alberto Galerie Mathivet, Paris

Giacometti, Oblong

https://news.artnet.com/market/salo-art-design-2023-highlights-2392521

Cup

Alberto Giacometti, Oblong Cup (1949).

This Oblong Cup by Alberto Giacometti comes courtesy of Paris-based Galerie Mathivet, a first-time exhibitor at Salon Art + Design. Much like his Cubist sculptures, such as his bronze Spoon Woman of 1927, Giacometti shaped the cup by overlapping geometric elements.

The generously proportioned cup is a prime example of Giacometti’s fascination with the lines of ancient Egyptian objects, according to gallerists Céline and Fabien Mathivet. He discovered Egyptian art in the late 1910s during his travels to Venice, but it was a visit to the archaeological museum of Florence in 1920 that he become entranced— two years before the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings.

His passion for Egyptian art was no passing fancy, but a constant influence in his work. He was particularly influenced by the aesthetic principles of ancient Egypt—the straightforward gazes, upright postures, and hieratic poses (arms alongside the body and joined feet).

According to the gallery, only three Oblong Cups can be found in the Giacometti Foundation database. The other two had a different patina, such as one belonging to the French couturier Hubert de Givenchy that exhibits a gold shimmer rather than the antique green patina seen here.

Asking price: upon request Jean Galerie Gabriel, New York

Royère

https://news.artnet.com/market/salo-art-design-2023-highlights-2392521

Armchairs

Jean Royère armchairs (ca. 1950s).

The French interior designer Jean Royère first found success when, in 1934, he won a contest to design the brasserie of the Hotel Carlton on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. That allowed him to create his own company in 1944, designing custom furniture for high-end clients and opening offices in Cairo, Beirut, Teheran, and São Paulo. Royère had a gift for combining whimsy (think: round sofas and furry chairs) with more traditional components, bridging the gap between past and future.

Royère’s ability to blend modernity and classicism is on full display in two armchairs brought by Galerie Gabriel, based in Paris. Their most striking feature is the use of a woven cane wood pattern, providing a tactile contrast to the French oak frame. The intricacy of the caning, coupled with the sturdy frame, exemplify Royère’s balance of artisanal craftsmanship and modern design, and underscores his deep appreciation for the natural world.

Though influential during his lifetime, his designs began to fall out of favor following his death in 1981. That is, until 1999, when the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris held a major show of his work. In 2008, Sonnabend Gallery in New York mounted a comprehensive retrospective of over 100 pieces. Then, in March 2023, a full comeback took place with the Adam Lindemann auction at Christie’s New York, according to the Artnet Price Database. Jean Royère’s Polar Bear set of round furniture (ca. 1952), still in its original mohair fabric upholstery, sold for $3.42 million (fees included), doubling its presale estimate.

Asking price: $380,000

New York’s Salon Art + Design fair reveals fresh and reprised trends From groundbreaking glass and layered surface treatments to highly ornate game sets, the stalwart collectibles fair keeps the measure of an everevolving industry

By Adrian Madlener

Collectible design fairs are a dime a dozen these days. With twice-annual events such as PAD and Design Miami/ making a splash in their respective markets, new format happenings like NOMAD tap into the cache of jet-set travel while also pushing beyond the booth-lined floors of convention centers and tented outposts.

Increasingly, however, galleries trading in different types of wares—vintage or contemporary; traditional or experimental, decorative or conceptual—are being more selective about which fairs they decided to show with.

Collectors have plenty to choose from. The most shrewd know where to look.

Holding court over New York’s especially exhaustive autumn cultural calendar, Salon Art + Design is a sophisticated offering that caters to New York’s particularly discerning raft of buyers; a significant slice of the international collector base. Staged at the storied Park Avenue Armory—a well preserved, highly ornate vestige of the city’s Gilded Age—the boutique fair takes on a holistic approach as it brings together works by some of today’s most sought-after talents but also features unexpected rarities; treasures exhumed from dusty warehouses by some of the savviest experts. Being able to transcend disciplinary definitions is as relevant as ever given the fact that most

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/salon-art-design-fair-2023-reveals-trends/

buyers are looking to appoint their homes with works that carry meaning and personality, regardless of application.

A chair can now have as much resonance as a painting.

Highlights of Salon Art + Design 2023 at New York’s Park Avenue Armory included: (L): ‘Swirl’ by Benoit Averly at Bo Design Group; (C): ‘Colonne Noailles’ by Agathe Labaye and Florian Sumi at Charles Burnand Gallery; and (R): ‘Fluid’ by Yulia Batyrova and Marat Mukhametov at Mia Karlova Galerie

This year’s edition of Salon Art + Design—held from 9 to 13 November—expanded that all-encompassing approach by welcoming in a slew of new exhibitors. With some of the blue-chip platforms not participating—many of them already established with brick and mortar space in New York and mounting their own adjacent shows— room was afforded to newcomer galleries (many of which are based abroad), luxury furniture producers, independent superstar talent, and even online artisanal marketplaces. It was a unique opportunity for fresh talents to get in front of the fair’s especially informed clientele. What was put on full display during this edition is the industry’s ability to foster material research, the reinterpretation of age-old craft traditions, conceptual ideation, and free expression.

Such an eclectic and open presentation makes for a strong survey of the latest trends, such as collectible design’s relatively recent expansion into new sectors such as homeware and jewelry. From the 2023 Salon Art + Design fair, Effect Magazine pin-points four themes currently influencing this ever-changing and growing market.

Experimental Glass

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/salon-art-design-fair-2023-reveals-trends/

Experimental glass made a re-emergence at Salon Art + Design 2023, a stunning example being ‘Sakura’ by Dutch artist Maarten Vrolijk, presented by Todd Merrill Studio

As the result of a growing push to revive artisanal traditions, glass has re-emerged as one of the most dynamic mediums. The ability to transform sand into a translucent solid hasn’t gone amiss for those who appreciate the finer things, and yet it isn’t always easy to avoid the pitfalls of kitsch, cartoon-like figurines found in tourist shops.

Implementing this ancient, almost alchemical, material in innovative and refined form is a feat. Case in point: Dutch artist Maarten Vrolijk. The talent is able to distill some of the natural world’s most fundamental qualities— color, shape, fragility, strength, transparency, and ephemerality in abstract yet succinct forms. His Sakura vessel, on view during Salon Art + Design with New York gallery Todd Merrill Studio stands testament to a growing impetus among craft-led artist and designer to innovate glass; utilizing this medium in new, viscerally engaging, applications.

Expressive Textile

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/salon-art-design-fair-2023-reveals-trends/

Brussels gallery Spazio Nobile Gallery presented the fiber tapestry ‘Waiting for Color After The Storm’ by Chicago-based Jacqueline Surdell at Salon Art + Design 2023

Textile or fiber, as it’s more loosely defined these days, is yet another medium being reinterpreted by a diverse range of creatives. At the intersection of art, craft, and design, this manually produced material has been a cornerstone of the human experience since the dawn of civilization. And yet, it’s been usurped by industry, fast fashion, and the forces of overconsumption in the past few centuries. Seeking to reclaim textile as something far more artistic, singular, and valuable are emerging fiber-artists like Chicago-based Jacqueline Surdell. For her, the especially painterly and even sculptural works she creates—the Waiting for Color After The Storm tapestry on view at the fair with Brussels gallery Spazio Nobile Gallery, for example—is a holistic manifestation of process. The almost meditative yet labor-intensive practice of weaving, knitting, and cumulatively assembling material is evidence of physical stamina. Like with much of the output of her contemporaries also redefining textile, Surdell’s bespoke pieces take on graphical and visceral qualities in equal measure.

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/salon-art-design-fair-2023-reveals-trends/

Layered Materiality

Layered materiality: a beautifully delicate and nuanced porcelain sculpture by Yulia Batyrova and Marat Mukhametov was presented at Salon Art + Design by Amsterdam-based Mia Karlova Galerie

Finding ways to cohesively collage and meld together different, seemingly disparate components, is not easy.

Layering—even in a mono-material application—is a useful technique that lets artists and designers infuse their work with visual and tactile complexity. Whether achieved with recycled polymers or forged bronze, the possibilities seem endless. For Moscow-based artistic duo Yulia Batyrova and Marat Mukhametov, mastering the manual formation, firing, and combination of especially temperamental porcelain has proven to be fruitful as a way of expressing movement; the incredibly nuanced quality of shapeless fluency. On view at Salon Art + Design with Amsterdam-based Mia Karlova Galerie, the studio’s Fluid sculpture is both evidence of artisanal precision and the aesthetic potency of layering.

Collectible Accessories

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/salon-art-design-fair-2023-reveals-trends/

One of the contemporary collectible accessories evident at 2023’s Salon Art + Design was Alexandra Llewellyn’s detailed Vortex Marquetry Tournament Backgammon. The design represents the finest translation of age-old inlaid wood techniques

Alexandra Llewellyn’s artisanal backgammon set represents age-old inlaid wood techniques

Operating with a somewhat similar mission—providing a platform for contemporary artisans operation around the world—online marketplace ABASK made its Salon Art + Design debut this year. Hundreds of functional objects were presented within a bold, all-green backdrop. Among this dynamic offering was Londonbased Alexandra Llewellyn’s incredibly detailed Vortex Marquetry Tournament Backgammon. The design represents the finest translation of age-old inlaid wood techniques. Produced by an impressive network of nine artisanal workshops throughout the UK, this unique piece demonstrates that sumptuous materials and the highest standards of craftsmanship can be harnessed in almost any application.

Why gallery titans Nilufar and The Future Perfect made a transatlantic pact

By Adrian Madlener

The two preeminent galleries have joined forces to promote a new in-house furniture collection with pieces developed by a long list of leading talents When it comes to championing playful, or expressive, luxury, no two collectible design platforms are more adept than Milan’s Nilufar Gallery and New York’s The Future Perfect. Both institutions have spent the past two decades shaping the industry in their image: a focus on contemporary decorative arts that celebrates fresh expression and experimentation as much as the translation of age-old techniques and historical details. https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/why-gallery-titans-nilufar-and-the-future-perfect-made-atransatlantic-pact/

Playful and expressive collectible design from Nilufar Gallery includes (L): Talco low tables by Draga and Aurel; (C): Mensa Dining Table by Filippo Carandini; (R): Unfold poufs and archchairs by Analogia Project (Photos: Filippo Pincolini)

At the forefront of the Brooklyn makers movement and the subsequent emergence of autonomous art-design studios throughout the city in the 2000s, The Future Perfect emerged as one of the country’s—and even the world’s—most revered platforms purveying one-of-a-kind, well-crafted, slightly ornate wares. It grew over time to include unique, contextualized, home-gallery spaces in Los Angeles and San Francisco. With a move of its New York flagship into a David Chipperfield-designed West Village townhouse in 2021, The Future Perfect adopted a highly curated approach throughout its network.

Nilufar Gallery founder Nina Yashar pictured in front of the Sofa Macaron by Gal Gaon (Photo: Filippo Pincolini)

New collections are presented through an ever-changing exhibition programme utilizing these venues’ different domestic—albeit lavish—vignettes. Other rooms remain appointed with curated selections of other works, as if to suggest a level of seamless integration. Almost everything can be spec-ed; even the bespoke wallpaper. Unlike other market heavyweights, much of the gallery’s offering is produced on a limited-edition basis rather than as one-off art pieces. There are some exceptions of course.

Nilufar was established in 1979 by Iranian immigrants to Milan trading in the finest carpets and historic furnishings. Since the early 2000s, the gallery has expanded to include a more contemporary catalog of works by some of the day’s most innovative artists and designers. Think Dutch design but also those pushing material and application in Japan and South Korea, among many other places.

With the gallery’s main storefront well anchored in the city’s posh Quadrilatero della Moda district, the acquisition of a massive 1,500-sqm outskirt warehouse from Opera company La Scala in 2015 unlocked the door to new possibilities. In this space, Nilufar has programmed groundbreaking thematic Milan Design Week shows while also staging style-specific vignettes. Through this curation, the gallery has fostered many of the overall design industry’s top emerging and established practitioners.

The new Open Edition collection comes as a culmination of that tireless cultivation. Many of the names Nilufar nurtured over time have contributed to this extensive yet succinct assemblage. The 100 or so serially produced, rather than limited edition, designs reflect gallery founder Nina Yashar unified vision for a sophisticated home interior. The various sofas, credenzas, and vessels coalesce around whimsical yet restrained juxtapositions of form, hue, and texture. Lustrous textiles and iridescent surface treatments play off of organic and strictly geometric shapes.

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/why-gallery-titans-nilufar-and-the-future-perfect-made-atransatlantic-pact/

Nilufar pieces at the Future Perfect Gallery in New York include (L) Macaron armchair by Gal Gaon; (C): Piero Tris ceiling lamp by Vibeke Fonnesberg-Schmidt; and (R): C Sofa by Claude Missir and Luminaria table lamp by Analogia Project (Photos: Joe Kramm)

Through various ventures, offshoot venues, special projects, and a consistent presence at most fairs, both platforms have a lot of similarities. Both have established extensive and eclectic talent rosters. Both present themselves as elevated one-stop shopping experiences for buyers, their advisors, and interior designers. In looking to launch the new offering, it only seems fitting that Nilufar should choose The Future Perfect as its main U.S. partner. Deciding to debut the collection during New York’s cultural high season and around the same time as Salon Art + Design 2023 this November was also a strategic move.

“This collaboration offers a dynamic glimpse into the future of design excellence.”

Nina Yashar, founder of Nilufar Galler “The Open Edition collection was curated to ignite a vibrant exploration into the boundless realms of design possibilities,” says Nilufar founder Nina Yashar. “We are thrilled to be bringing this exhibition to The Future Perfect, which we consider to be the authority on American design. This collaboration offers a dynamic glimpse into the future of design excellence.”

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/why-gallery-titans-nilufar-and-the-future-perfect-made-atransatlantic-pact/

The Orient Armchair by David/Nicolas in Venezia Dark Olive velvet personifies the Nilufar aesthetic, with elements of classic Italian design spiced with a retro-future sensibility that is entirely contemporary

Beirut design duo David/Nicolas (David Raffoul and Nicolas Moussallem) developed the retro-futuristic Dualita bench and modular Orient armchair. Tel Aviv architect Gal Gaon’s amoebic coffee table anchors on a leaning base.

Milanese designer Osanna Visconti’s ornate elliptical carpets take on a bold yet elegant presence. Londonbased Analogia Project‘s Unfold dining and living room set matches well with the studio’s striped glass and bronze, layered-cylinder luminaires. Semi-translucent and colored-glass elements integrate warm, seemingly old world yet emphatically current, pastels. Relief panels carry contemporary themes and slightly-fluted wood forms the base of cubic settees.

“Nina’s discerning eye and dedication to innovative design has redefined what it means to champion emergent voices,” says David Alhadeff,founder of The Future Perfect. “The Open Edition collection, with its fusion of meticulous craftsmanship and formal experimentation, is set to captivate the imagination of design enthusiasts and collectors alike. Through this partnership, we do not merely join forces — we celebrate the lasting legacy of Nilufar and The Future Perfect and our shared vision of championing boundary-pushing design, while embracing the industry’s vast frontiers.”

“We want Salon to provide a sense of discovery for our audiences, which includes both seasoned and entry- level collectors alike,” says Jill Bokor, Executive Director of Salon Art + Design. “While Salon is known for showing some of the most world-renowned galleries in design, we also want the fair to serve as a platform for burgeoning galleries who are showcasing some of the most cutting-edge design, whether that be vintage, modern or contemporary. We’re excited for our visitors to reconnect with the galleries one may expect at the fair, while also discovering the new and unexpected.”

The fair distinguishes itself through its meticulously curated blend of the historic and cutting-edge contemporary collectible design and fine art. Just as esteemed interior designers craft eclectic and cutting- edge spaces for their discerning clientele, exhibitors at Salon Art + Design are encouraged to fashion immersive environments that mirror the dynamic ways we decorate and live today.

Each year, Salon elects an esteemed group of individuals who embody the spirit of the fair to join their Honorary Committee.

The Salon’s inclusivity and willingness to consider both fine and decorative art in the context of contemporary life is predicated on the belief that today, more than ever, designers and collectors create environments rather than collect objects.

Salon Art + Design 2023: ABASK’s Dedication to Craftsmanship The recently opened homeware retailer’s spectacular in-person display was a highlight at the beloved fair

By David Graver

Joining the ranks of acclaimed galleries like Negropontes and Maisonjaune Studio, who returned this year to NYC’s carefully curated Salon Art + Design fair, London-based homeware and gifting platform ABASK set a standard for enticing, accessible decor with their debut booth. This was the first-ever physical presentation in NYC for the retailer, which partners with more than 200 global artisans for an inventory of more than 4,000 different home-design items. And if the enveloping green hue they chose to decorate their booth is any indicator (as well as their marvelous product selection of pieces from the likes of Carl Aubock, Oeuvres Sensibles, Lobmeyr and Osanna Visconti), we foresee continued commercial growth and an ever-expanding, dedicated consumer base. In perusing ABASK’s installation, we fell in love with so many items, each with its own story and all within a broad spectrum of pricepoints. To learn more about the vision of the brand, as well as how they’re capable of

https://coolhunting.com/design/salon-art-design-2023-abasks-dedication-to-craftsmanship/

delivering to 165 different countries within four days of a purchase, we spoke with co-founder and CEO Nicolas Pickaerts—who even explained to us what an ABASK wink is.

Why was Salon Art + Design an ideal partner for ABASK?

Salon Art + Design is renowned for displaying the world’s best-in-class design objects and for bringing the international design world together. At ABASK, our mission is to spotlight the world’s most exquisite craftsmanship and home-design objects, so when we were invited to be a special exhibitor we were immediately on board. We are also approaching our first anniversary, so bringing all our incredible makers together both in our booth and on our stage during our panel session felt like a great way to celebrate one year of ABASK. While we are a global direct-to-consumer retailer, the chance to present ABASK in real life so that visitors could enjoy a physical touchpoint was a fantastic opportunity for us.

https://coolhunting.com/design/salon-art-design-2023-abasks-dedication-to-craftsmanship/

What led you to stage such a distinct, green room?

The shade we used is the ABASK green that is our signature hue. We were thrilled to have the brilliant creative director Stefan Beckman on board to design the space as we really wanted to make the booth stand out. It turned out to be the perfect background color to display all our home-design objects in Stefan’s captivating set design that perfectly conjured ABASK’s home-design wisdom and tongue-in-cheek wit. He said he wanted “to celebrate the eclectic and unique nature of ABASK’s home-design objects by creating a fantastical, surreal and immersive world that conveys its warmth and appetite for fun,” and he absolutely did that.

https://coolhunting.com/design/salon-art-design-2023-abasks-dedication-to-craftsmanship/

Courtesy of ABASK

What did you choose to display and why? How is it a reflection of what ABASK offers?

At Salon, we spotlighted 100 of our world-renowned makers which included over 600 items, 60 of which were exclusive to ABASK—and that is just a flavor of what we have on offer. Currently, we stock over 4,000 homedesign objects on ABASK.com. At Salon, we wanted to show the breadth and depth of our home-design offering, incorporating all our rooms—including the dining room, the snug, the games room, the kitchen and the study— as well as our aesthetics—modernist, minimalist, bohemian and classic—presenting not just the makers who people are already familiar with, but the lesser-known artisans who have amazing stories to tell and that we take pride in sharing.

https://coolhunting.com/design/salon-art-design-2023-abasks-dedication-to-craftsmanship/

Where have you and your team dedicated time in the year since ABASK was founded?

The customer’s experience is at the heart of everything we do and we have placed the utmost importance on enhancing and fine-tuning the user journey—from first encounter to receiving their purchase—to ensure it’s a seamless one. Our buying team has continued to hone our edit based on what we know the ABASK customer is responding to, which in turn has propelled the launch of more rooms and more opportunity to share our makers’ work and we have also developed our trade service, where we work with interior designers to help source the smalls for their projects.

https://coolhunting.com/design/salon-art-design-2023-abasks-dedication-to-craftsmanship/

How do you curate your offerings on the site? In turn, how did you build relationships with more than 200 local and global artisans?

Both Tom and I feel very fortunate to have a brilliant team who are all at the top of their game. Our buying team, led by buying director Bryony Sheridan, is constantly on the hunt for exquisite talent and interesting design objects all over the world and their tenacity and taste is reflected in our diverse offering. Once we have invested in a maker, we remain in close communication with them, building relationships on trust and mutual respect, which often leads to exclusive collections such as archive re-editions. On ABASK.com, we present our objects in the rooms they have been designed to be used in, which is how our customer likes to shop and allows us to create little worlds which we communicate with our original storytelling, interviews and exclusive tastemaker edits from the ABASK collective across the website and our social-media platforms.

Your delivery promise—one to four days in 165 countries—almost doesn’t seem possible. Can you tell us why it’s important?

People were used to receiving fashion purchases within that timeframe but not home-design objects. Because we are a retailer that buys and holds stock, as opposed to a marketplace that redirects to third parties, we are in a position to offer this service and guarantee is reliability. At ABASK, our modus operandi is to take the hard work out of finding, buying and receiving a unique design object—whether that be for oneself or as a gift—and so our promise of delivering to 165 countries within four days is absolutely essential to that. We spent a lot of time working with the artist Sarah Martinon to develop the artwork for our packaging, too, as we want people to feel excited when they see an ABASK box headed their way, knowing that they can trust that whatever is inside is going to be exquisite.

https://coolhunting.com/design/salon-art-design-2023-abasks-dedication-to-craftsmanship/

Courtesy of ABASK

Is there one overarching ABASK aesthetic?

All our home-design objects have been individually and specifically chosen because it is an exquisite piece that celebrates skill and artisanship so our curation has that in common; all our products are either handmade or have the hand touch. Aesthetic-wise, we are working toward four aesthetics that our curation falls into but as far as one overarching theme goes, I would say it is more of a mood than one aesthetic; everything on ABASK has something special about it, which we call the ABASK wink.

https://coolhunting.com/design/salon-art-design-2023-abasks-dedication-to-craftsmanship/

Courtesy of ABASK

And finally, is there something you wish consumers would know about ABASK that they might not know yet?

The most important thing to us is our customer-first ethos which transcends throughout every area and touchpoint. Being a retailer that sources, curates, buys, sells, packages and delivers all our home-design objects— as opposed to a marketplace that redirects customers to third parties—is absolutely key to that. That’s how we can guarantee the best-in-class customer service that is hard to find elsewhere in the home-design space.

Maximalism Is Out, Jewelry Is In: The Salon Art + Design Fair Returns Amid a Changing Market The New York design fair is back at the Park Avenue Armory with a number of new faces and debut collections.

By Polina Cherezova

Visitors entering the Park Avenue Armory later this week will be greeted by a monumental chandelier that resembles a tangle of magnolia flowers. The site-specific installation by Cox London is one of the many statement pieces due to be unveiled at this year’s Salon Art + Design fair, which opens this Thursday in New York. The 12th

https://www.culturedmag.com/article/2023/11/06/salon-art-design-fair-new-york

edition of the event, which focuses on collectible design, will offer an increasingly international lineup and, for the first time, vintage, modern, and contemporary jewelry.

“The inclusion of jewelry is a conversation we’ve been having for a long time,” says Jill Bokor, Salon’s executive director. “It’s a great way to refresh the fair without changing its core.”

The design market experienced a boost during and immediately after lockdown, when collectors had money to burn and a renewed appreciation for the importance of their domestic surroundings. Trends have shifted since then. Today, Bokor notices buyers and designers leaning toward a minimalist sensibility. “During the years of and immediately following Covid, we saw maximalism taken to a new height,” she says. “People were home and wanted the big, the comfy, the overstuffed with lots of color. This year, people seem to be looking at rather sculptural, sleek, and somewhat neutral pieces. It’s not a Mario Buatta moment.”

This year’s fair will spread across the Armory’s cavernous Drill Hall and smaller historic rooms, which designers seek to transform into immersive installations. “Knowing as they do that our core audience comprises designers and collectors with discerning eyes, our galleries know that plinths and vitrines don’t have the appeal of walking into each space and having it be a discovery,” says Bokor.

Salon is working with a number of new exhibitors this year, several of whom are making their U.S. debut. The Jaipur-based Trunks Company will premiere new art objects including their Pipe & Chess Bar Cabinet and Game Island Trunk, which fuse classic board games with the craftsmanship of hand-painted leather trunk-making.

Salon’s first book dealer, Potterton Books from Britain, will participate alongside exhibitors from countries including Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Monaco, and the Netherlands.

Among the new collections debuting at Salon is designer Matthew Fisher’s “Elegy,” his first Brazilian quartzite and Arabic onyx carved furnishings, inspired by artifacts he came across on a trip to Volterra, Italy in the summer of 2022. Meanwhile, Brazil-based designer Silvia Furmanovich’s “East/West” collection incorporates Japanese motifs and craft traditions such as Indigenous Ainu wood carvings and bamboo weaving, which she first discovered on a trip to Japan.

While the economy is on shakier ground than it was a year or two ago, Bokor says audiences remain interested in both investing and experimenting with design. “More than anything, we see an expanded, ever infinitely more interesting market, with a collector of Japanese ceramics also collecting abstract expressionism, for example," she explains, before continuing. "Also, you can never separate design from the real estate market. In a rather cool market, we see people doing really interesting things in smaller spaces. And it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are collecting smaller objects." She cites a tiny early 20th century cottage in the Berkshires which she stumbled upon during a recent trip. The home was filled with mid-century furniture and paintings that, "rather than overpowering the space, seemed to complete it."

Object Chandigarh

By Daniella Ohad

Ever since Amy Siegel created her memorable video Provenance—which tells the curious story of a set of humble, yet exquisitely designed furniture made during the postwar years for the offices in the civic buildings of the new Indian capital of Chandigarh—this body of furniture has become a household product. Chandigarh was a city like no other; set at the foothills of Shivaliks, it was designed by Le Corbusier as a utopian modernist urban government compound. It was the pride of India’s first Prime Minister Sh. Jawahar Lal Nehru, with thousands of offices, High Court, University, and more. All of these official spaces were furnished with humble pieces of furniture crafted by local shops with local wood, designed by the architect and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret. As these started to be removed from India and brought to Europe and the US, they became collectible and tofday, seen everywhere.

Vintage (and not so vintage) examples are regularly offered at auction houses across the globe, they are seen in chic interiors featured in magazines, while copies have flooded the market, and recent production by various furniture firms has been led by Cassina and RH, have made them popular and exposed .

There are many narratives and approaches attached to the story of the furniture, which was obscured for decades until rescued by a group of French design dealers 15 years ago. They have since come to symbolize not only social status and taste, but also the economic value and collectibility attached to objects of heritage. Office furniture used to be created by the thousands, were damaged from usage and often used as scrap wood, until being recognized, https://daniellaondesign.com/blog/object-chandigarh/

exported, and became a the ashion statement it is today. These stories have been told by players in the marketplace, and by the scholars Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, who had signed off the design of hundreds of models crafted during the three decades of the building process of Chandigarh. What else can be said about this piece of material culture? What stories still need to be told?

George Gilpin, a Brooklyn-based dealer who has been going to Chandigarh for years and is known for selling this furniture, is now telling his own story in his new book titled Object Chandigarh. The book was released in conjunction with an exhibition under the same title, which opened this week at Patrick Parrish Gallery and showcases models from his own personal collection. The limited-edition book is designed in the spirit of Le Corbusier’s polychromed architecture, since his love for color was legendary; he believed that color, particularly primary colors, play a significant role in evoking emotions and creating spatial illusions. Gilpin wants to tell the story of the furniture’s raw detail and the way it was found in India after years of use. It is a pictorial history with documentation of the furniture before it was restored and staged for contemporary interiors—what a difference.

Since most people want their furniture to be beautiful, upholstered, and refinished, the pieces in their original state are hardly ever shown or photographed. The introductory essay by Simon Andrews, the trailblazer of vintage modern design, captures the complexity of the cultural and historical heritage of Chandigarh’s project. Both the book and exhibition teach an important lesson in design connoisseurship.

‘Once attuned to their aesthetic frequencies,’ Andrews says, ‘the poetic dialect of patina upon these objects reveals itself with fluency. These are furnishings that celebrate lived history with proud authority, as battered yet elegant warriors. Through their weary surfaces — with sun-bleached, split upholstery and improvised alterations — they announce an honest primitivism, honed by the souls of generations of users, travelling ever further from their modernist nativity.

Their emotive murmurs are essential, inimitable and valuable. They are imperfect, but all the more beautiful for their!jolielaide!honesty. These are objects that are repaired, but not yet restored. As if companion travellers to Orpheus, they belong neither to one world nor another, fossilised, suspended within a memory of Utopia and not yet enhanced to embrace the likely next.,’ capturing the allure of the authentic.

The exhibition will be open at Patrick Parrish Gallery through November 22nd.

So who should you be looking out for? Among the treasures on display in New York is a unique furniture collection by architect Charles Zana; a series of elegant home-design objects from ABASK; and an assortment of tables crafted from hand-cast bronze and semi-precious stones by international design firm, DeMuro Das. Alongside these exciting new voices, Salon Art + Design is set to welcome back several of its longstanding participants including Gallery FUMI, Karl Kemp, Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts, Maison Gerard, and Twenty First Gallery.

Object of desire

by Samantha Coles

Playing games Unveiled for the first time at Salon Art + Design, a prestigious New York art show held in November, this nostalgic trunk celebrates the traditional board game.

Yet less a trunk and more a fully functional game table, the piece, named ‘Game Island Trunk,’ is full of clever compartments and contraptions that house the most beloved games.

The sides of the trunk open out to offer seating on either side and create a workstation for each player; a chess board has its home atop the workstation. Deeper inside, you’ll find backgammon and Ludo, as well as a hidden tower of Jenga blocks guarded by mini trunks that hold poker chips.

The trunk is an impressive display of exemplary craftsmanship — the tangible result of brothers Paritosh and Priyank Mehta’s creativity. The pair founded the Trunks Company, a Jaipur-based brand specializing in handmade, hand-painted trunks created using traditional methods such as the ‘lost-wax technique.’ (It’s a process by which a duplicate sculpture — often a metal, such as silver, gold, brass or bronze — is cast from an original sculpture. Intricate works can be achieved by this method, and the oldest example dates back to 4550–4450 BC.) Many of the Trunks Company’s pieces are bespoke and include such whimsical creations as Timeless Travels with the Taj — a re-imagination of the majestic Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in trunk form.

The 12th installment of Salon Art + Design, held once again at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City, drew more than 2,000 visitors—including the twins Olsen, Linda Fargo, and Colin King—on its opening night this past

weekend. On display was a curated assortment of vintage, modern, and contemporary design and art presented by more than 50 influential exhibitors. Noteworthy sales were reported, featuring iconic pieces by the likes of Karl Springer and Carlo Bugatti. However, it was a number of distinctive works from independent galleries and showrooms that particularly caught our eye. Here, we highlight a few of our favorite discoveries from the exhibition.

DEMURO DAS

The New Delhi– and New York City–based studio DeMuro Das, founded by Brian DeMuro and Puru Das, presented the LouLou, a contemporary spin (pun intended) on a classic lounge chair that sits on a swiveling base and was shown in a Dedar fabric with fringe by Houlès. —Sean Santiago

https://www.elledecor.com/design-decorate/g45823972/salon-art-design-2023/

GALLERY FUMI

Jeremy Anderson

Artist Jeremy R. Anderson shared a pair of lamps he cheekily dubbed his Uptown Ladies, in collaboration with London-based Gallery Fumi. They were inspired, according to Anderson’s Instagram, by the stylish women of New York City who come to the Armory “dressed in their finest.” —S.S.

https://www.elledecor.com/design-decorate/g45823972/salon-art-design-2023/

ABASK

Abask

This vintage 1970s silver snail ice bucket is one of many standout pieces on offer from the new British online design retailer Abask. Others from the brand’s booth included a Josef Hoffmann sterling-and-lapis coffee service and a collection of throws by Studio Shamshiri. —Bebe Howorth

https://www.elledecor.com/design-decorate/g45823972/salon-art-design-2023/

MAISON GERARD

Niamh Barry

Irish designer and artist Niamh Barry’s calling card is her monumental bronze light fixtures, but her latest, a chandelier comprising eight large components, is among her most complex. Inspired by the golden artifacts found in the Broighter Hoard in Ireland, the work manages to feel both weighty in its meaning and weightless in its proportions. —Helena Madden

https://www.elledecor.com/design-decorate/g45823972/salon-art-design-2023/

GALERIE CHASTEL-MARÉCHAL

Painter and sculptor Joy de Rohan Chabot, a longtime Dior Maison collaborator, showed off a series of new pieces with the Paris-based Galerie Chastel-Maréchal. Nature motifs are frozen in delicate bronze, with golden flowers crisscrossing in the pair of cocktail tables and birds perching among the metallic leaves of the screen. —H.M.

https://www.elledecor.com/design-decorate/g45823972/salon-art-design-2023/

COX LONDON

Cox London founders Nicola and Christopher Cox displayed a more-than-12-foot-tall sculptural chandelier, hung in the exhibition hall entrance; it’s made from nearly 4,000 individually hand-forged and patinated iron leaves, with cotton blossoms resembling those of a magnolia tree. —B.H.

Floratorium’s Carlos Franqui Chosen for Salon Art + Design

By Jill Brooke

Drumroll, please. This year’s florist chosen by Flowerpowerdaily’s Jill Brooke for the prestigious Salon Art + Design show will be Carlos Franqui of Floratorium. The annual show returns to the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from November 9-13, 2023 You know Floratorium’s work in creating outdoor installations at restaurants and corporations with vivid faux and real flowers. Not only has the media – as well as even Martha Stewart – hailed his work in creating an oasis of positivity during Covid, but Franqui continues to impress with his sculptural installations that others have now routinely attempted to imitate.

“Carlos Franqui and his team are innovators,” says Flowerpowerdaily founder Jill Brooke. “They are not only heroes for New York but continue to bring cheer and color into everything they create.”

https://flowerpowerdaily.com/floratoriums-carlos-franqui-chosen-for-salon-art-design/

As the New York Post’s food and real estate columnist Jennifer Gould wrote, the striking outdoor installations actually boosted revenues for restauranteurs by “drawing in diners eager to forget they’re eating in a former parking spot” and having “ugly city scaffolding disappear under an intricate swath of vines popping with flowers.”

As Salon Art + Design’s executive director Jill Bokor says, “Not only are their extraordinary creations florals, they are works of art unto themselves. His work will be a brilliant complement to the mis-en-scene at Salon. As the first displays seen by visitors to Salon, these incredible arrangements set exactly the tone we look for – a breathtaking blend of art and design.”

Although Franqui wants to surprise the guests who visit the Park Avenue Armory in New York City November 913, 2023, we have some hints what to expect.

https://flowerpowerdaily.com/floratoriums-carlos-franqui-chosen-for-salon-art-design/

Maybe it’s a mix of maple leaves, camelia, jasmin, dahlias, marigolds, cosmos and burgundy cabbage roses creates the perfect set up for autumn.

Or perhaps it’s inspired by Daschner Castle, Floratorium’s first immersive hospitality experience in upstate New York.

https://flowerpowerdaily.com/floratoriums-carlos-franqui-chosen-for-salon-art-design/

One thing for sure, it will have a lot of greenery. Why? Franqui just trademarked the concept of Biofauxlia, which creates “50 shades of green.”

“Just like I realized people were focusing on the inside of restaurants instead of the outside floral displays, I see a need in the market that there aren’t enough offerings for special greenery,” he notes.

After all, great talents are always “growing” and like the Salon Art + Design event, showcasing what is trending, visually stimulating and relevant for this moment of time.

What Lit Up Salon Art+Design Show? These 7 Floral Chandeliers

By Jill Brooke

Salon Art + Design, the prestigious fair in New York, showcasing the finest art, architecture, and design from leading galleries worldwide, is always catnip for designer lovers. Part of the reason is that its leader Jill Bokor cherry-picked what designers can participate in the event that only has sixty-two installations. Therefore it feels both intimate and accessible. Like a home.

https://flowerpowerdaily.com/what-lit-up-salon-artdesign-these-7-floral-chandeliers/

But this year, as guests visited the Park Avenue Armory for the 12th year, there were many kudos given for the extraordinary flower-inspired fixtures.

Greeting guests was an extraordinary chandelier created by Cox London. Inspired by magnolia leaves, it literally is a showstopper from the lighting and furniture company. “We are always inspired by botanicals,” says Cox London founder Chris Cox. He and his wife Nicola were sculptor-makers who pivoted to forging natural form with interior beauty in such inspiring ways.

And using magnolia leaves seems to be trending. “It’s always a popular flower, especially during the holiday season,” notes florist Yossi Benhamou, from New York’s Matles Florist. Floratorium’s Carlos Franqui also used magnolia leaves as a focal point for his live flowers.

What else had a magnolia theme?

This magnolia leaf wall lighting by Nana Lure was a nice accent to drape and illuminate any vase of flowers or home decor. Particularly appreciated how the designers at Spazio Nobile Gallery intuitively knew to arrange the flowers sweeping toward the lighting fixture. So much of design is layering and creating an eco-system. The wall mirror also sweeps to the left so the overall effect stops you in your tracks. It almost makes you want to dance to a groove.

https://flowerpowerdaily.com/what-lit-up-salon-artdesign-these-7-floral-chandeliers/

Todd Merrill Studio also charms and this year is no different. Here we have yet another floral-inspired chandelier.

Staff at the showroom also commented on how floral chandeliers were in abundance. While this one was a darker tone, it had that botanical inspiration that was free-flowing and modern.

https://flowerpowerdaily.com/what-lit-up-salon-artdesign-these-7-floral-chandeliers/

Another winner was from Garde which seemed to float down from the clouds above and put a lovely spotlight on the nearby painting that oozed calm and intrigue.

https://flowerpowerdaily.com/what-lit-up-salon-artdesign-these-7-floral-chandeliers/

Of course, when you think of botanicals, your thoughts drift to something green. The color of nature. This is why many applauded this green floral chandelier from Karl Kemp. It’s so easy to match with anything in a home, whether it’s art or in a kitchen. Plus was also drawn to the tulip candle holders on the mantle.

https://flowerpowerdaily.com/what-lit-up-salon-artdesign-these-7-floral-chandeliers/

This piece by Maison Rapin felt both airy and intricate. It also helped showcase other pieces in their salon including the botanical mirrors.

https://flowerpowerdaily.com/what-lit-up-salon-artdesign-these-7-floral-chandeliers/

Matthieu Lehanneur told me he had wanted to create a flower-inspired chandelier for some time. But since he wanted something “original” and practical, inspiration had eluded him. Until now. Until this piece. “It’s as though the petals are unfurling and bringing light,” he commented. Furthermore, light hits this piece in unexpected ways while also having an interior source heating up the design.

Throughout history, flowers have been the muse of artists for both contemporary and classic design. As Christopher Cox says, “you can’t have art without nature.” With so many varieties, designers have so many options to choose from in their pursuit of the new and the pursuit of making clients happy. After all, connecting to nature is both calming and roots us to beauty.

Trunks Company Is Bringing Handcrafted Artisanal Trunks To New York

By Nadja Sayej

A handcrafted, artisan trunk by Trunks Company TRUNKS COMPANY

Every year in New York City, Salon Art + Design is a renowned fair known for bringing the world’s top designers from all over the world into one showroom, whether it’s contemporary, vintage, or modern.

This year is the 12th annual showcase and will feature 50 unique exhibitions from the worlds of art, architecture, and design at the Park Avenue Armory from November 10 to 13.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/nadjasayej/2023/11/09/trunks-company-is-bringing-handcrafted-artisanaltrunks-to-new-york/?sh=aaa74334dba5

One of the highlights for this year comes from Jaipur, India. Trunks Company feels like the ultimate luxury, simply because it is a slow design devoted to traditional art, craft, culture and heritage.

This brand specializes in handcrafted trunks, watch and jewelry trunks, not to mention bar trunks, coffee trunks and multi-dimensional games trunks. In other words, it’s functional art, an object of desire in your home—and is an ode to the finer things in life.

Revolutionizing the historic tradition of steamer trunks from the past, these creations are handcrafted masterpieces. It takes roughly six months or 300 man hours, by a team of 55 artisans, to complete each trunk.

Trunks Company creates only 83 pieces per year, and royalties, influential personalities, global leaders and industrialists are lining up to have their bespoke handcrafted trunks.

At Salon Art + Design, Trunks Company will present “Trunks Company’s Alchemy of Art and Design,” as part of their latest exhibition featuring a collective of artisanal trunks.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/nadjasayej/2023/11/09/trunks-company-is-bringing-handcrafted-artisanaltrunks-to-new-york/?sh=aaa74334dba5

“The exhibit encompasses two distinct segments of design and art,” said Paritosh Mehta, the founder of Trunks Company.

They’ll be showing their Rajputana Bar Cabinet Trunk alongside the Medium Bar Cabinet, which comes with its own custom hand-cut crystalware and bar accessories, and the Games Island Trunk.

They’ll also be showcasing their Watch Collector’s Trunk, which is perfect for the luxury watch collector who wants to give a proper home for their timepieces. “A watch is carefully cradled upon the adjustable wrists of the sentinel and provides an undeniable feeling of security enveloping the watch’s custodian,” said Mehta.

Paritosh Mehta, founder of Trunks Company TRUNKS COMPANY

“At Trunks Company, we understand for connoisseurs who hold a deep reverence for the art of horology and the pursuit of timepiece perfection. Watch collecting is more than a hobby—it's a profound passion. Our watch trunks not only provide a secure haven for these horological masterpieces but elevate and treasure them to a level of unrivaled grandeur.”

Made of leather and teakwood, they have small, medium, and large watch trunks, as well as jewelry trunks, both of which are ideal, safe homes for precious family heirlooms. https://www.forbes.com/sites/nadjasayej/2023/11/09/trunks-company-is-bringing-handcrafted-artisanaltrunks-to-new-york/?sh=aaa74334dba5

“Our items are timeless, functional art,” said Mehta.

It stems from the company’s design philosophy, which is to revolutionize the art of the travel trunk, which was popular from the 18th century to the 20th century, “Travel has been fast forwarded from steamer ships to air travel,” said Mehta. “Trunks have become a lost glory, and we’re giving them a new life by infusing them with creative concepts of our art and craft—beyond the outdated purpose of mere luggage.”

Most of their collection focuses on the classic Steamer Trunks, which offers traditional, thoughtfully handcrafted trunks to incorporate into your home, to the Trunks of Spirit, which act as a home to finest of spirits, handcut crystalware and wine, not to mention their travel bar steamer trunks. They’re also launching their multidimensional collective of Games Trunks, which include chess, backgammon, and poker, among other games.

They also create bespoke trunks, which allow each client to choose the size, purpose, finishing touches, hues, and down to the smallest details for the interior and exterior of each trunk.

Hand-painting at Trunks Company TRUNKS COMPANY

The process for creating each trunk is a well thought out and detailed creative process. Each trunk begins with a sketch, then, the wood craft after which the leather hide is carefully sourced and sheathed onto the wooden framework by the master artisans. That's when the hand-painting process begins, as dyes, pigments and oils give the leather, life.

The artisan team also uses hand-stitching techniques for the leather, along with their wooden inlay technique called “signature teakwood contouring” to perfect the inner detailing of trunk interiors. Then, they add metal hardware as part of their finishing touches for each clasp, corner, and lock.

“We only handcraft a limited amount of trunks a year, and this allows us to establish a deeper connection with our clientele who want to treasure their emotions, passions, prized possessions through one-of-a-kind trunks,” said Mehta.

Next up, the brand hopes to host events, collaborations, and pop-ups next year, just as they’re planning an international flagship boutique.

“To carve out something as exquisite as our creations, purely out of our depths of imagination is an art,” he said.

“It’s an art infused with life and soul that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world.”

Salon Art + Design's Opening Night Sees Record Attendance, Brisk Sales

By Bettina Zilkha Over 2,000 visitors flooded Salon Art + Design's opening night on Thursday evening at the Armory. The salon's 12th edition saw some changes, with many new exhibitors and a more contemporary bent. The opening night cocktail was a benefit for the Dia Art Foundation, co-chaired by Nathalie & Laura de Gunzburg. Committee members for the evening included Paul Arnhold, Guillaume Coutheillas, Beth Rudin DeWoody, Christina Ohly Evans, Linda Fargo, Dennis Freedman, Wendy Goodman, Gabriel Hendifar, Julie Hillman, Colin King, Jeff Klein, Carlos Mota, David Netto, Dr. Daniella Ohad, Suchi Reddy, and Lizzie Tisch.

"The Salon is very different this year," said Salon Art + Design Executive Director Jill Bokor. "We have much more contemporary representation, and vintage is punctuating that. We have also admitted jewelry for the first time, which adds a lot of color, especially this year when there seem to be a lot of neutrals in the design world. The pops of color in the jewelry booths add lots of excitement. Finally, we have some exhibitors towards the back which are the 'makers': Silvia Furmanovich, Abask, and Trunks - these are very different for Salon."

Dia Art Foundation chair Nathalie de Gunzburg greeted guests at the 4 o'clock opening, along with Dia Director Jessica Morgan.

"Jill Bokor is an amazing organizer; she loves Dia and she wants to help out," said de Gunzburg, surrounded by a slew of friends and supporters.

"Dia is having its fiftieth anniversary next year, and many things are happening," said Morgan. "We have a major project with Steve McQueen that's going to be in Beacon and Chelsea, and another project with an artist that's less known, but equally amazing, called Meg Webster."

There were many striking pieces at various booths, including a 2012 Zaha Hadid dining table at David Gill, an art installation at Halcyon by Dominic Harris that updates every minute according to what is being searched on Google, and a Carlo Bugatti table at Guy Regal.

"This is my first time exhibiting at this show," said Regal. "I wanted to be in an environment where I could present a much more complex look, which involves vintage period art deco mixed with contemporary artisans. The Salon show is the perfect market for that mix."

Over at Maison Gerard, owner Benoit Drut was optimistic about the fair and the state of the market.

"There have been a few changes this year, new galleries have come in, and that's good- I like positive change," said Drut.

Bronson Van Wyck, Jamie Tisch, Elizabeth Callender MATT BORKOWSKI/BFA.COM

The crowd began picking up around 4:30, as Elizabeth Callender, Jamie Tisch, Marcia Mishaan and Nicole Miller admired the abundance of pieces that were truly works of art.

Liz O'Briens' booth was a collaboration between designer Brian McCarthy and plaster artist Stephen Antonson, who created a frieze by turning cardboard into beautiful, sculptural, plaster-coated shapes.

"We've been busy all year, and I'm very grateful for that," said O'Brien. "There is a great appetite for beautiful, unusual, unique things.”

Silvia Furmanovich was especially fond of a handbag she had designed.

"It's made of tiger bamboo, which is naturally oxidized, and very rare," said Furmanovich, "with marquetry inlay and carnelian and 18K gold fasteners."

Abask co-owner Tom Chapman had never exhibited in a physical space before.

"Abask will be celebrating its first anniversary in a week," said Chapman. "We are an online business and this is our first physical exhibition. We have about 4,000 different options to ship at the moment on the site. There are 60

https://www.forbes.com/sites/bettinazilkha/2023/11/11/salon-art--designs-opening-night-sees-recordattendance-brisk-sales/

to 70 different collaborations in this booth, made by different makers across the world, done exclusively with us.

It's all the beautiful things you surround yourself with in life, that have a purpose and are useful."

L.A. TIME The rarefied world of Swiss haute horlogerie has been given a dose of California cool at the new AP House Los Angeles, an innovative retail concept by Audemars Piguet. Located in West Hollywood, the 6,500-square-foot penthouse includes indoor and outdoor space, with interiors by Brigette Romanek, of Romanek Design Studio, who devised a whimsical homage to the Swiss village of Le Brassus, where the maison has been located since 1875. At AP House, visitors can browse the latest timepieces and see inside the state-of-the-art watchmaking studio. “It is a celebration of creativity and craftsmanship at all levels,” says Ginny Wright, CEO of Audemars Piguet, Americas. “A beautiful sanctuary and full-scale watchmaking experience.” audemarspiguet.com —L.R.

Roman Empire Pecorino Romano–dusted twirls of spaghetti, prosciutto twisted around juicy slices of cantaloupe, and maritozzi buns exploding with whipped cream are just a few of the delicacies at Roscioli, which recently opened its door in New York’s SoHo neighborhood. With one floor acting as a restaurant and cellar tasting room and another as a salumeria and wine bar, this venture marks the first outpost of the beloved Roman group of restaurants, where tourists and locals alike line up for classic dishes perfectly executed with the best Italian provisions. The original, serving pizza and bread, opened almost 50 years ago on the historic site of a 200-year-old bakery. The New York location will benefit from all that experience as well as from ingredients shipped directly from their establishments in Rome to ensure its authenticity. rosciolinyc.com —J.T.

Béatrice Serre’s Otherworldly Mosaics Utilize Raw Stones, Minerals, and Even Fossils The Paris-based artisan is gearing up for a highly anticipated solo show at Galerie Yves Gastou that showcases her mastery of the storied craft

By Geoffrey Montes

Béatrice Serre's Moon Mirror.

With her ingenious use of raw stones, minerals, and even fossils to create exceptional mosaics, Béatrice Serre has injected glamour and whimsy into an art form that dates back thousands of years. “The famous technique of marteline and block cutting has not changed for purists,” explains the artist, who chips away marbles and granites in a labor-intensive process that often lasts days to collect a plethora of smaller jagged, imperfect shapes that she reassembles into textural expanses. “The stones have hidden treasures,” she asserts. “The most difficult phase is not the endurance of the manual cutting exercise, but rather knowing how to find the right alchemy of all these

https://galeriemagazine.com/beatrice-serre/

materials.” Every element has a special place in the composition, “down to the smallest sparkle,” Serre adds, “which can transform everything.”

The ethereal mirrors, tables, lamps, and bas-reliefs that result from this painstaking method have earned Serre a legion of admirers. Among them are Julie Hillman, Thierry Lemaire, and interior designer Jean-Louis Deniot, who commissioned her to create several bespoke works, starting a decade ago with a wall sculpture—a stunning explosion of slate and minerals—that caught the eye of Renaud Vuaillat, owner of Twenty First Gallery in Manhattan. “I was blown away by the strength and beauty of the piece,” says Vuaillat, who will show Serre’s work at Salon Art + Design in November and Design Miami/ in December. “It was like she invented a new language.”

https://galeriemagazine.com/beatrice-serre/

Vuaillat immediately added her to his roster and now regularly shows her spectacular creations at his booths on the design fair circuit. At Salon Art + Design last November, visitors to the gallery’s display could find a low table topped with a swirling galaxy of geodes, lava stone, granite, and metallic accents. “Collectors of Serre’s works are attracted to them like magnets,” he adds. “They purchase them without a second thought. I believe they are attracted to the power of the stones.”

"The smallest sparkle can transform everything” BÉATRICE SERRE

Serre can relate—the artist herself was drawn to the energy of these earthly materials starting at a young age. Born in Paris, she spent her childhood constantly on the move, relocating from Gabon to China to Brazil with her family, finding that collecting stones and minerals provided her with a reassuring constant. Ultimately settling in the French capital, Serre crafted her first compositions while studying at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués. “The mosaic is a symbol of reconstruction, rebirth, and re-creating,” she says. “It is beyond an art; it’s like therapy, with ever more elaborate techniques uniting the old to new technologies.”

https://galeriemagazine.com/beatrice-serre/

Following the recent launch of a capsule collection of jewel-encrusted Cosmic bags with Aquazzura, Serre is working on custom installations for retail clients such as Cartier, for whom she’s already created an Art Deco– inspired wall work composed of marble, onyx, travertine, and gold enamel tesserae. She is also gearing up for a highly anticipated solo show this fall at Galerie Yves Gastou in Paris that will explore her ongoing fascination with opals and turquoise. “They transport me to miniature constellations and large spaces of serenity,” she says.

“Certain pebbles that have been scarified and damaged by time also particularly affect me, because they carry within them the authenticity of their journey, like wrinkles and wounds for humans. They are more powerful because they have stood the test of time.”

5 Top Designers Share Their Favorite Finds from This Year’s Salon Art + Design See what caught the eye of Gabriel Hendifar, Julie Hillman, David Netto, Suchi Reddy, and Guillaume Coutheillas

By Geoffrey Montes

Salon Art + Design is always a must-visit event for anyone who appreciates fine art and design. Held annually at the historic Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan, the fair showcases the finest works of modern and contemporary design from leading galleries around the world. To mark the occasion of this year’s edition, open until November 13, Galerie asked honorary committee members Guillaume Coutheillas, Gabriel Hendifar, Julie Hillman, David Netto, and Suchi Reddy to select one piece from the show that caught their eye. See below for their picks.

I love the new Erosion series that Galerie Gabriel is bringing from Lebanese architect and designer Georges Mohasseb. The collection is inspired by the force of nature, and he uses ancient techniques that allow organic shapes to adapt to any space the piece is in.

3. Julie Hillman

I absolutely love this coffee table by Jean Royère from Galerie Gabriel. It has been one of my favorites for many years, and it’s extremely rare and not often seen. In studying Royère’s work, I have always loved this quote from him: ‘When you’ve got a well-designed piece of furniture, the form and volume live on.’ That’s what I admire about Royère’s designs: the pieces are all timeless.

4. David Netto

The best of the best is a very subjective thing, but you know it when you see it. This Jean Royère table at Galerie Gabriel is a model that blows the top of my head off whenever I see it—which is not often. I have a weakness for freeform, amoeba-shaped furniture and sculpture, and this is both—voluptuous, handmade modernism. I saw Stephen Sills make a plinth for one once in the same black lacquer as the top; even the plinth was a dream.

The “tatami” by Hechizoo, on view at Cristina Grajales Gallery's booth.

5. Suchi Reddy

For me, my pick would be “tatami” by Hechizoo which will be shown at Cristina Grajales Gallery‘s booth. Jorge Lizarazo’s impeccable design takes a classic form and reinvents it as effortless elegance, elevating and amplifying the beauty of the tatami.

Among Salon Art + Design’s longstanding galleries – FUMI, Chastel-Maréchal, Maison Gerard, to name but a few – one that stood out was Todd Merrill Studio with furniture, lighting and sculptural objects based on the juxtaposition of different materials and surfaces. Giving life to functional works infused with rare beauty.

Salon Art + Design Returns With Diversity and Style for its 12th Edition

By Benjamin Genocchio

The 12th edition of Salon Art + Design is a signature and much-anticipated event on the New York design calendar. On view at the Park Avenue Armory through Monday the 13th, the fair once again presents a smorgasbord of outstanding decorative art, collectible design, and art from all periods and styles. It’s a designer’s paradise.

This year, the central exhibition space in the Armory’s voluminous Drill Hall hosts 50 booths and includes a handful of collectible jewelry dealers for the first time. Most of the exhibitors are, however, seasoned design and antique dealers presenting exciting new work and unveiling their latest finds. The majority of the dealers are American, but as usual, there are excellent, important European design dealers here as well.

Maison Rapin

Among the European galleries is Maison Rapin, the Parisian dealer of elegant and adventurous contemporary design who has brought over a selection of pieces by the late jewelry and furniture designer Robert Goossens. Goosens, who designed jewelry for Chanel, also turned his talents to the creation of furniture, lighting, and decorative objects in dazzling gilt bronze and rock crystal. Philippe Rapin’s designs for his own limited edition brand Kam Tin include a pair of impressive jade tables with a patinated brass organic form and jade mosaic top. Nearby is a set of three Cloud Tables made with polished ivory onyx that positively glow in the darkened Drill Hall.

Galerie Negropontes, another Parisian dealer, is also taking part in the Salon with a selection of what gallery owner, Sophie Negropontes, describes as “unique pieces of furniture and objets d'art, guided by the harmony of shapes and the preciousness of materials.” The booth juxtaposes outstanding recent works by Gianluca Pacchioni, Erwan Boulloud, Perrin & Perrin, Ulrika Liljedahl, Benjamin Poulanges, Éric de Dormael, Étienne Moyat, Jean-Christophe Malaval and Hervé Langlais.

New York design dealer Evan Lobel is a longtime champion with expert knowledge of the work of Philip and Kelvin LaVerne. He specializes in rare pieces by late father Philip and son Kelvin, with whom he is personally acquainted, and Lobel has curated something very special for this edition of the fair. Guided by vintage photographs from the LaVerne archives, he has recreated the New York showroom of Philip and Kelvin LaVerne with, he explains, “several one-of-a-kind sculptural pieces that have not been shown together since the showroom closed back in the late 1970s.” This is a special and important booth at the fair and contains some astonishing sculptures.

Donzella Lobel has a trio of showrooms at the New York Design Center on Lexington Avenue, where his housemates include Guy Regal and Paul Donzella, who are also showing at the Salon. It is Regal’s first time at this fair, and his booth is terrific — populated with dramatic and impressive pieces; lamps by Peter Lane, one of the hottest names in contemporary ceramics, and grand historical furniture, including a rare circa 1900 Carlo Bugatti cabinet in walnut and parchment with elaborate inlay and embossing on copper, pewter, and bone.

This year, Donzella wanted to focus on sculpture and sculptural objects, so he took two booths back to back with no dividing wall to allow for an extra large space with access from adjacent aisles. “I wanted the stand to feel open and spacious,” he says. He is showing rare and important Italian pieces by Gio Ponti, Osvaldo Borsani, and Giulio Minoletti, and by Americans Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, Studio Eben Haskell, as well as a rare pair of chairs by legendary Hollywood decorator Billy Haines made of leather with pig skin stitching — this is next level furniture design, creative, rare and always functional. The chairs were exhibited in his “Desert Living Room” at the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition. This presentation is an impressive showing of the masterful connoisseurship and curation Donzella is well known for.

Twenty First, a New York gallery specializing in talented contemporary makers, also shows an amalgam of pieces — this time by gallery artists. The booth stands out for spectacular, inventive cabinets by three of their star designers, Marcin Rusak, Erwan Boulloud, and Jean-Marie Fiori. Add to the mix floor lamps by François Corbeau and the Quark Plexiglass coffee table by Emmanuel Babled and you have a booth that is as dramatic as it is enticing. There is great design on show here.

Throckmorton Fine Art Todd Merrill Studio has the work of several contemporary designers for their 7th showing at Salon. Things of note in the booth include the debut of a new collection, Flare, from design duo Draga and Aurel. The Flare series incorporates a process of working with Lucite that, when opposing colors react to any ambient light, creates an impression of internal illumination. There is also a new, sublime console by the Korean artist Yunhwan Kim. It is the artist’s first work using bronze.

Along with gallery booths, Salon has given space to what they call “special design exhibitions,” showcasing capsule collections by individual makers, and curated pieces from galleries in the Drill Hall and the Armory’s historic rooms at the entryway to the fair. There are terrific finds here, for example, Los Angeles-based artist James De Wulf, who crafts cutting-edge furniture he playfully calls “concrete couture,” which he has surrounded with potted plants, and L.A. design team Thomas Cooper Studio, a collaboration between designers Sally and Jason Cooper. They are debuting new lighting collections and art pieces, including sconces made out of alabaster, or beguiling fusions of glass, and the Halcyon chandelier, “a cascade of blossoms of smooth, solid cast cristale glass and hand cast natural bronze.”

There is such a vast array of material here in other genres it is impossible to mention it all. Some highlights include Throckmorton Fine Art’s “Them Bones-Sky Walk,” 1990, a painting by New York Neo-Expressionist Frank Holliday that is nothing short of fabulous and has been in the collection of Spencer Throckmorton for over 30 years. Converso has a terrific selection of Paul Evans pieces, including a unique dining table, and Karl Kemp has several outstanding André Dubreuil pieces, including a table made of acid-treated steel and a pair of 1990 “Perles” candle holders, with partially gilded wrought iron vines decorated with hand-blown crystal beads.

Karl Kemp Mercado Moderno, from Rio de Janeiro, is dedicated to Brazilian design, specifically vintage modern furniture from the 1950s to 1980s, and happily is presenting original pieces by Joaquim Tenreiro, Jorge Zalszupin, and the manufacturer Forma, alongside vibrant paintings by Chico da Silva, Jaider Esbell and Lorenzato, among others.

“The furniture pieces reflect the elegance and the sophistication of the renowned Brazilian Modernism, while the paintings reveal the expressiveness of the increasingly valued Brazilian Popular Art,” says João Vicente at the gallery.

Liz O'Brien has also conjured a marvelously fresh and interesting booth combining work from quilt artist Carson Converse, who she now represents, with pieces by Irish makers inspired by her visit to Ireland earlier this year.

She invited Irish gallerist and independent curator Stephen O’Connell to select items for her booth, and he chose an array of items by three makers — Isobel Egan’s porcelain sculptures, Cecilia Moore’s hand-raised metal objects, and Alan Meredith's turned-wood vessels. Some, if not all, of these talented makers will be new to American design enthusiasts.

Galerie Philia decided to empty their booth to offer “a physical and mental space to reflect,” the gallery says, with the booth itself functioning as an interesting study in minimal-conceptual design display. There is little, almost nothing on display. Nearby, Charles Burnand Ltd has an exceptionally eye-catching collection of objects. The London-based dealer has curated their booth to reflect an imaginary collector’s home with art and design by Gio Ponti, DenHolm, Labaye Sumi, Frederick Nielsen, Dawn Bendick, and Caleb Zipperer, among others. It is an inspiring kaleidoscope of colors, materials, shapes, and ideas and a perfect microcosm of the fair at large.

Phillip Thomas, Founder and Lead Designer, Phillip Thomas Inc. on Designing a VIP Fair Lounge

By Benjamin Genocchio Photography by Aydin Arjomand unless otherwise noted

Interior designer Phillip Thomas created an inspired space for the VIP Collectors Lounge at the 2023 edition of Salon Art + Design, transforming the historic Colonel’s Reception Room at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City into the “Colonel’s Cabinet of Curiosities.' Thomas is known for his elegant use of bold color palettes, and this room is evidence of his artistry.

Benjamin Genocchio, Editor in Chief of Incollect spoke with the designer Phillip Thomas about his design for the VIP lounge for the 2023 Salon Art + Design Fair in New York.

First of all, Phillip, what a great job you did on designing the VIP lounge! It was exciting, exotic as well as fun.

Thank you. I had fun doing it!

What was the most enjoyable part of the project for you?

The most enjoyable part of the project was just being able to work in one of the historic rooms of the Park Avenue Armory — the Colonel’s Room. It is something that a designer can rarely say they have done and it has always been something that I have wanted to add to my resume.

And the challenges? https://www.incollect.com/articles/phillip-thomas-founder-and-lead-designer-phillip-thomas-inc-ondesigning-a-vip-fair-lounge

What was challenging but also exciting were the constraints one has to work within when designing in the historic rooms: one cannot have anything within 12” of any walls and one is limited to a weight of no more than 150 pounds per square foot.

Was there any specific design brief you had to adhere to?

Besides having to accommodate seating for at least 25 guests, the sky was the limit as to what I could do with the space! That can often be very daunting.

How is designing an art and design fair lounge similar or different to working for a more conventional client?

The main difference between my work as a designer and my collaboration with Salon is the lack of a client.

With all of my projects, I like to learn about my client and use that understanding to create interiors that reflect my clients’ passions, etc.

Left: Ayala Serfaty’s Nuraya floor light sculpture, seen at the left rear of the photo, is crafted of glass rods covered by a polymer membrane that results in an organic, delicately textured surface and lovely, glowing ambient light. The Israeli artist is inspired by clouds, crystals, corals and flora, and her works straddle the line between the natural world and the abstract. Designer Phillip Thomas commissioned Andrew Tedesco Studios to create the bright orange trompe l’oeil wall panels, and the hand-painted sisal carpet is by decorative artist Phillip Bland, who is well known for painting the Met Gala red carpet. Right: Historic gravitas is melded with contemporary furniture forms, with a pair of Aloys Waldispuhl “Hoof” lounge chairs replacing the typical pair of wing chairs.

Tell us about your design concept and why you chose it.

Given the absence of a real-life client to collaborate with, I imagined a client and conjured up their story. As this room was the Colonel’s Room, I created a fictitious colonel whom I envisioned traveling the world on missions, discovering beautiful pieces while on those trips. I visualized the colonel bringing all these pieces back to this room at the Armory to create a layered space where he would entertain his friends and colleagues.

The name for the room became “The Colonel’s Cabinet of Curiosities.” I selected items from all parts of the globe and every continent was represented.

https://www.incollect.com/articles/phillip-thomas-founder-and-lead-designer-phillip-thomas-inc-ondesigning-a-vip-fair-lounge

You managed to create an amazingly relaxed, easy, and casual atmosphere and mood— it was calming and gave the VIP clients time to think and chat after the bustle of the fair. What is the secret to that kind of design?

I took inspiration from the name of the fair — Salon. I thought of the salon culture that has been part of our society over the centuries. I wanted people to come into the room and feel as though they were entering someone’s home. For that reason, for example, I decided to forgo the conventional bar setup you would find at a fair and instead, I had a team serving guests as if they were in a home.

Left: A Warren McArthur Machine Age lounge chair circa 1936 courtesy of Donzella, contemporary “Giroscopio” table lamp with swiveling glass panel by Roberto Rida, and midcentury Italian table by Paolo Buffa. Right: Slate and travertine topped “Twin” coffee tables by contemporary French designer Franck Evennou echo the shape of a curved semicircular sofa.

The standing lamp at the back center of the room was pivotal to the design and anchored the space — tell us about that piece and why you chose it.

I have always been a fan of the illuminated sculptures by Ayala Serfaty. This one I chose in particular, was a captivating piece drawing you in like a moth to a flame. I designed the mirrored screen behind the sculpture to help amplify the feel of the sculpture.

https://www.incollect.com/articles/phillip-thomas-founder-and-lead-designer-phillip-thomas-inc-ondesigning-a-vip-fair-lounge

Phillip Thomas designed this luminous and vibrant Upper East Side pied-á-terre for his art-loving clients to display their collection of pieces that reflect their eclectic interests and love of travel. He balanced pattern and scale, earthy textures contrasted with sparkling surfaces to create a flow that guides the eye around the room. Traditional furniture forms are presented in a contemporary aspect, for a comfortable, timeless, and immensely enjoyable setting. Photo by Genevieve Garruppo.

You used a lot of different decorative objects — is that something characteristic of your approach to creating rooms in general, or it was just specific to this project?

I feel that I am a storyteller and I am telling my clients’ stories through the interiors that I create for them.

Accessories are a wonderful way of telling that story. Each accessory is a chapter in their story. I am always working with my clients to find pieces that are not only functional but also speak to them and evoke an emotion.

https://www.incollect.com/articles/phillip-thomas-founder-and-lead-designer-phillip-thomas-inc-ondesigning-a-vip-fair-lounge

Two examples of how Phillip directs the eye upward to draw attention to the ceiling — the all-important and sometimes neglected “fifth wall.” Variations in the color and finish of architectural details, rather than an all-over neutral tone as would be expected, help to achieve a sense of lofty spaciousness. Vertical shapes with dynamic patterns, at left, a spectacular stone slab backdrop for a wet bar, and at right, a perfectly installed piece of artwork, play up the luxurious ceiling height. Photos by Genevieve Garruppo.

What were some of your favorite items and objects in the room?

That is such a tough question to answer as every piece spoke to me in some way. Besides the illuminated sculpture, I loved the curved sofa from Maison Gerard. I felt that it was conducive to great conversations. I also loved the chest of drawers from Liz O’Brien. The designs and colors of the cabinet were inspirations for some of the custom elements that I designed for the space, such as the hand-painted carpet and silk panels.

What is your process for mixing and matching contemporary and historical objects in an interior?

I really enjoy mixing items from different periods and of different styles. To me, this mixture of items is thought-provoking and makes you pay attention to and consider each individual item all the more than if it were all in a space with similar items. The key to mixing and matching items is that there is no key. Much like fine art, choose items that speak to you for your interior. While they need to serve a functional purpose, they can also serve to constantly inspire and draw forth memories.

Where to next Jewellery, Design and Art lovers? Whilst I type this on a searingly hot Lagos afternoon, the aesthetic action has moved to New York where all roads lead to Salon Art + Design which opened yesterday and runs til Monday at the Park Avenue Armory.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CzeUverIAs6/?hl=en&img_index=1

For the fair unitiated, this one is a goodie: inclusiveness was a guiding principle from its inception twelve years ago, and as Executive Director Jill Bokor shares, "We want Salon to provide a sense of discovery for our audiences, which includes both seasoned and entry- level collectors alike.” In short, you won't be turned away if you're not dipped head to toe in new drop Phoebe or you aren't aware there are such things as Blue Topazes. This is a fair where enthusiasm and expertise are treated as of being of equal import.

Bokor adds "We’re excited for our visitors to reconnect with the galleries one may expect at the fair, while also discovering the new and unexpected.” And if you're a jewellery collector this fair is a veritable voyage of discovery with treasure at every turn.

London based gallery Didier has come through with an exquisite hand hammered silver brooch by Alexander Calder (first slide). Regular readers will know my love for Calder runs deep, and this piece made for Mrs Mcdonald, the mother of his daughter, has an extra back story frisson. Next up are a pair of turquoise ceramic earrings made

by New York OG jeweller Rosior, that are party- season ready with their 19.2ct and 4.79ct of emeralds and purple sapphires set in yellow gold. Finally for the arm candy committed, look no further than this one of a kind bracelet from Yvel featuring diamonds, tourmaline, blue topaz, citrine, amethyst and smoky quartz. Yvel has long expressed his pieces as 'art to wear ' and this is precisely the nexus of where this and the other pieces featured on my edit reside.

The tide has firmly turned to accepting jewelry as more than adornment or an asset to be locked up in a vault. It is art. To be collected, appreciated, worn, passed down and invested in. And like all works of art, written about at length both for now and posterity. #mazzimusings #salonartanddesign #jewelryartist #artistjewelry

La mesa ‘For No One’ de Gio Pagani se exhibe en la feria New York Salon Art + Design

By Staff Writer El escaparate del Salon Art + Design tiene lugar en el histórico Park Avenue Armory de Manhattan, evocando el ambiente y la elegancia neoyorkina de antaño. En este marco, la boutique de diseño estadounidense Garde —con sedes en Los Ángeles, Dallas y Nueva York— presenta la mesa ‘For No One’, firmada por Gio Pagani, arquitecto y diseñador, fundador de la marca homónima que abrió su primera galería en el corazón de Milán. Esta exposición marca el inicio de una prometedora colaboración entre el diseñador italiano y Garde.

A través de sus creaciones, Gio Pagani canaliza un enfoque de diseño ecléctico, rico en elementos evocadores y recuerdos. La narrativa está dirigida por materiales nobles y procesos artesanales, todo ello interpretado con una sensibilidad profundamente arraigada en la cultura estética y manufacturera de principios del siglo XX.

El mármol es el elemento de esta mesa minimalista y brutalista, que solo está disponible en tamaño grande y redondeada.

La mesa ‘For No One’ personifica una integración equilibrada entre forma y materia, despertando sensaciones arraigadas en la memoria. Su diseño minimalista y brutalista nace de la elección de un material orgánico, como es el mármol Ambrosia, que el diseñador transforma en un objeto escultórico. La tersura de la piedra, acentuada por el atrevido tablero de la mesa, armoniza con las sólidas patas monolíticas semicirculares, suavizadas por un toque gráfico de metal negro mate en la base.

https://www.interempresas.net/Mobiliario/Articulos/495895-La-mesa-For-No-One-de-Gio-Pagani-seexhibe-en-la-feria-New-York-Salon-Art-Design.html

Concebida, diseñada y elaborada íntegramente en Italia, ‘For No One’ transmite la monumentalidad y la fuerza primigenia de un material milenario y resistente, moldeado durante siglos por procesos geológicos, y moldeado ahora mediante procesos de fabricación que afectan intrínsecamente a su estructura. Integrando, a su vez, técnicas artesanales que tallan, ensamblan y restauran la piedra, se entrelazan a la perfección con tecnologías de vanguardia.

Salon Art & Design 2023: гармония случая и добра

Нью-йоркская ярмарка Salon Art + Design в 2023 году проходит уже в 12-й раз. Место остается неизменным — это Park Avenue Armory, где собираются международные художники, дизайнеры, архитекторы и коллекционеры. Это ведущая выставка, объединяющая винтажный, современный и футуристический дизайн со всего мира. В этом году состав участников значительно расширился за счет новых экспонентов, многие из которых дебютировали на американском рынке. Впервые некоторые экспозиции выделены в специальную группу выставок, также впервые появилась секция ювелирных украшений. В первые дни были проданы знаковые вещи по дизайну Карла Спрингера и Карло Бугатти. Однако для американского рынка громкие продажи не редкость, да и арт-рынок, с которым у этой выставки с каждым годом все больше общего, шокирует куда большими суммами. Интрига нынешнего года была скорее сосредоточена вокруг самобытных работ из независимых галерей и тех отдельных курируемых экспозиций, число которых по сравнению с прошлыми годами возросло драматически.

При входе в Park Avenue Armory зрителей встречал объект дебютантов этого года — Cox London. Основатели галереи Никола и Кристофер Кокс показали скульптурную люстру Magnolia Grandiflora высотой более 3,5 метров — эта конструкция сделана из 3800 выкованных вручную и патинированных железных листьев и цветов. Люстру Magnolia Grandiflora делали мастера в течение нескольких месяцев специально для нынешнего Salon Art & Design.

Бразильская галерея Mercado Moderno, специализирующаяся на современном бразильском дизайне, дебютировала с подборкой мебели середины века. Хитом была чайная тележка Móveis Novo Rumo 1950-х годов, сделанная из фанеры, металла и шпонированного дерева в стиле позднего ар-деко. Поражала драгоценная мебель ателье Achille Salvagni, чей офис находится всего в нескольких кварталах. Оно приняло участие в ярмарке в первый раз — за пять дней шоу здесь обычно встречают больше клиентов, чем за месяцы в собственной галерее.

Исполнительный директор Salon Art + Design Джилл Бокор подчеркивает: «Хочется, чтобы ярмарка дарила ощущение открытия — причем любому из нашей аудитории, где есть и опытные коллекционеры, и начинающие. Мы также стремимся к тому, чтобы ярмарка служила платформой для динамичных молодых галерей, демонстрирующих передовые проекты. И вместе с тем, здесь совершаются действительно выгодные сделки. Наша самая высокая цена окажется самой низкой ценой на некоторых ярмарках современного искусства».

Он начинал с небольших деревянных предметов ручной работы (сосуды, блюда), обладавших, по его выражению, «непредусмотренными» очертаниями. Он исследовал их потенциал, соединял и постепенно выработал методику создания больших абстрактных произведений, которые в конечном итоге превратились в его фирменную скульптурную мебель.

Выставка вдохновлена цитатой из книги французского философа Симоны Вейль «Гравитация и грация»: «Красота — это гармония случая и добра». Проект исследует тему красоты и границы между органикой и геометрической формой. Среди экспонатов — табурет из оникса от австралийского дизайнера Генри Уилсона, журнальный столик из трех блоков от итальянского дизайнера Пьетро Франческини, консоль и двойное зеркало от мексиканского дизайнера Андреса Моннье, консоль итальянского дуэта Studiopepe и ониксовые монолиты от индийской дизайн-студии Paul Matter.

Gallery FUMI Celebrates 15th Anniversary With a Stellar Show

By Adrian Madlener Photography: courtesy of Gallery FUMI

Pioneering collectible design platform Gallery FUMI is commemorating its 15th anniversary with a group exhibition highlighting the experimental spirit of its illustrious roster of designers. Noted historian Libby Sellers guest curated the showcase around the themes of adaption, regeneration, and transformation, as these concepts relate to material experimentation and a renewed use of tried and true handicrafts.

“There’s a dynamic between the inner and outer form: revealing the growth patterns of an object or material,” says Sellers. “For this project, I decided to reference biologist D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson (1860-1948), specifically his 1917 book On Growth + Form, which explores ways that living forms morph into mathematically harmonious shapes. https://interiordesign.net/designwire/gallery-fumi-exhibition-london/

On view at the platform’s Mayfair, London flagship through September 30, the exhibition—titled after this book— incorporates newly commissioned works by 16 talents the platform has fostered over the years. Helping to cultivate their careers and push them to continuously experiment with material and process, founders Valerio Capo and Sam Pratt have shaped Gallery FUMI around the promotion of their groundbreaking output. Most of them operate out of small studios to master and eventually riff on age-old artisanal traditions. In doing so they’ve left a mark on the ever-evolving collectible design industry and creative field all together. It’s undeniable that wunderkind polymaths like Max Lamb and vanguard duos such as Glithero have played their part in utilizing design as a critical medium, one that can be used to question the conventions of materiality, aesthetics, function, and behavior.

A fixture at major fairs Design Miami; PAD London; and New York’s Salon Art + Design, Gallery FUMI has ensured that this explorative approach remains an important facet of the ever-evolving collectible design industry.

Incorporating everything from live-edge cast bronze furniture to trompe l’oeil wall sculptures made from thousands of upcycled fiber strands, the “Growth + Form” exhibit pays tribute to this ongoing mandate. Here are a few emphatically unconventional chair and table concepts that demonstrate how experimentation can be applied in functional applications.

8 HIGHLIGHTS FROM GALLERY FUMI’S “GROWTH + FORM” EXHIBITION Volumetric Chair 7 Bronze Designed by Voukenas Petrides

Voukenas Petrides’s Volumetric Chair 7 Bronze, 2023.

In an attempt to push the limits of gravity and balance, New York and Athens-based studio Voukenas Petrides— the collaborative force of furniture designer Andreas Voukenas and architect Steven Petrides—craft monomaterials into organically-sculptural furnishings. Building on their ongoing exploration of casting bronze at normally unachievable scale, Volumetric Chair 7 seems to uproot from the ground but is carefully hewn with an ergonomic seat and back. Meticulously polished, the weighty settee shimmers in light while offering a seemingly innate level of comfort.

https://interiordesign.net/designwire/gallery-fumi-exhibition-london/

Incomplete Copies Series Designed by Study O Portable

Dutch, Japanese design duo Study O Portable often utilizes objects as a way of deciphering the relationship between the ever-evolving cultural landscape and environments that have been carefully programmed or “designed.” This conceptual framework manifests in sculptural furnishings that riff on commonly perceived material compositions and the iconography of ubiquitous products. Formed out of aluminum, wood, foam, and cotton jacquard, the Incomplete Copies Series plays on the common proportions of furniture, softness, and comfort. The exaggerated, larger-than-life, bent-tube objects ask the user to think differently about the way we sit.

Max Lamb’s Split Yew Chair, 2023.

Study O Portable’s Incomplete Copies (2/3), 2023.

Split Yew Chair Designed by Max Lamb

The Split Yew Chair stems from British designer Max Lamb‘s career-defining exploration of materials and different modes of craft-based and industrial manufacturing. Adopting an almost primordial approach, Lamb imbued the chair with function simply by virtue of the natural formation of the material itself. Its seat and back are simply achieved by the splitting of a log and the perpendicular assembly of its two parts. Its legs result from a similar process. Polished in linseed oil as a minimal form of protection, the natural solid wood is maintained in the rawest form possible. The designer has iterated on this approach many times before.

Futuro Socchiuso / Future Ajar Designed by Sam Orlando Miller

https://interiordesign.net/designwire/gallery-fumi-exhibition-london/

Sam Orlando’s Miller Futuro Socchiuso / Future Ajar, 2023.

British sculptor Sam Orlando Miller looks to harness the iridescence of materials like mirrored glass and silver in innately pared-back forms. For him, focusing on materiality and form is a way of honoring ancient craft traditions.

In addition to that, Orlando Miller draws influence from Renaissance Italian painters like Piero della Francesca and the era’s fascination with naturalism. Somehow, this all distills in the designer’s poetically-composed furnishings that alternate between prismatic geometry and organic massing. The two low-lying Futuro Socchiuso / Future Ajar side tables stem from the former.

Pebble Chair Designed by Francesco Perini

Suspended in mid air, or so it might seem, Italian designer Francesco Perini’s Pebble Chair forms around the careful interlocking of three stone forms—hewn from combined planks of carefully sourced oak wood, meticulously finished for a soft touch. Seemingly effortless in its assembly, the organic and monomaterial designs derive from the talent’s intensive observations of the natural world but also his love of probing what’s widely understood and real and what’s not. Perini’s appreciation for the natural elements of earth, air, and water renders in his mastery of materials and techniques specific to his adoptive Florence.

https://interiordesign.net/designwire/gallery-fumi-exhibition-london/

Leora Honeyman’s Comfy Bench, 2022.

Francesco Perini’s Pebbles Chair, 2023

Comfy Bench Designed by Leora Honeyman

Research-based designer Leora Honeyman believes in the power of objects in containing and communicating cultural meaning. Mixing and matching her expertise in various age-old craft traditions permits the polymath to experiment with pattern, form, and different visual motifs. The ability to bring together seemingly disparate materials and processes allows her to push beyond traditional applications. Formed as a half-capsule dome, the textural Comfy Bench is emblazoned in a rich texture and unique, slightly faded, coloration.

Pitkä-Kotka Designed by Kustaa Saksi

With her Pitkä-Kotka chair, Finnish talent Kustaa Saksi pays tribute to her cultural heritage and the unique natural setting of her home country. The design is rendered in a woven polyester tapestry abstractly depicting the scenes of a rocky coastline and jagged pine trees that can withstand harsh climatic conditions. Responding to changing conditions, the plants adapt with a level of resiliency we can all learn from. This detailed textile is framed in a cubic oak chair form.

https://interiordesign.net/designwire/gallery-fumi-exhibition-london/

Kustaa Saksi’s Pitkä-Kotka, 2023.

Jie Wu’s Dialogue, 2023.

Dialogue Designed by Jie Wu

Formed around the contrast of repurposed antique furnishings and newly cast resin elements, Jie Wu’s Dialogue table reveals her preoccupation with blending natural and man-made materials. These explorations stem from her need to better understand the conditions of the anthropocene era. Wu’s proposition is more optimistic than most, however. For her, it’s important to expand our understanding of sustainability and value synthetics as equally viable components that, if taken care of correctly, can be harnessed and repurposed in a continuous loop.

Must-See Exhibits to Catch at Salon Art + Design in New York

By Osman Can Yerebakan

For its upcoming 12th edition in Manhattan, Salon Art + Design embarks on a refreshing approach. “Not an enormous change, rather a natural extension of what we do,” hints Jill Bokor, the fair’s executive director. This year, several jewelry designers will have displays at the Park Avenue Armory-housed fair, which offers a one-stop shop for collectors of design and art from various periods and geographies November 9-13. Five of the roughly 50 exhibitors specialize in jewelry, ranging from 19th-century vintage Tiffany’s or Van Cleef finds to contemporary jewels from Portugal. “There is no other New York fair that skews so heavily into design,” adds Bokor who was keen “not to disrupt that purity.” The decision evolved from testing the waters last year with inclusion of individual design partners and a few jewelers under the Armory’s soaring stairwells. “It seemed like this was the natural reaction to push our envelope a little bit and give the show a colorful refresh,” she adds.

https://interiordesign.net/designwire/salon-art-design-highlights-2023/

Bokor also noted the return of what she calls “New York neutrality” in designer palettes and collector demands: “After a few Covid years when color was needed to brighten our interiors, this revival of muted tones and materials can use some colorful company of jewelry,” she shares. Newcomer design galleries such as Galerie Philia, Guy Regal NYC, Spazio Nobile and Mercado Moderno join returning exhibitors Cristina Grajales, Galerie ChastelMaréchal, Maison Gerard, Todd Merrill Studio, or Twenty First Gallery. Visitors also will encounter booths occupied by jewelry experts Didier, DK Farnum, Rosior, Yvel, and Elevated Matter Gallery.

The Armory’s spectacular architecture is of course not overlooked. From the historic rooms to the grand staircase, the 143-year old venue hosts installations by a broad range of exhibiting partners. Brazilian designer Fabiana Machado’s Atelier FM, worldwide objects platform ABASK, and furniture gallery Charles Zana Mobilier occupy the floors of the Drill Hall while lighting and artwork-focused British gallery Cox London takes over the entryway and the nook beneath the grand staircase. An installation of contemporary ceramics by Ruan Hoffman is installed at the building’s South Hall; New York’s own Phillip Thomas re-orchestras the Colonels Room with the motto that “the every inch of your home is and should be a work of art.”

The global design powerhouse with locations in Geneva, New York, Singapore, and Mexico City carves a mini group show titled “Philia Classics Revisited.” Doing justice to the gallery’s inaugural Salon participation is a medley of 11 mainly young talents from its roster, such as Andrés Monnier, Elisa Uberti, Elsa Foulon, Pietro Franceschini, Paul Matter, and Frédéric Saulou. Given the designers’ age demographic, “classics” might echo as a tongue-incheek choice of word, but the eight-year-old gallery itself is also a quite young endeavor, and the title reflects its rapid penetration into the design market through focused material exploration and fostering of new industry names. In this direction, all the objects throughout the presentation are made in travertine stone, with a limited edition of eight pieces. Uberti’s bulbous humanoid lamps to Monnier’s grotesque dining table and Franceschini’s geometrically precise Licitra chair all hail from a new workshop called Galatea, located in Ensenada, Baja California.

Cristina Grajales

The TriBeCa, New York, establishment run by its eponymous design maven owner also brings a group selection of furniture and objects, featuring Christophe Côme, Mark Grattan, Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, Jorge Lizarazo’s weaving atelier Hechizoo, and Tim Horn. Mexico City- and New York-based Grattan—the winner of HBO Max’s “Ellen’s Next Great Designer”—exhibits a powdery pink-colored velvet lounge chair with polished stainless steel legs, as well as its larger love seat version. A 1960-dated Patchwork Table consists of bronze, pewter, and enamel by the LaVerne father-son duo, giving the industrial-looking table a sculptural finish.

DeMuro Das

Another striking experimentation in table design awaits at Brian DeMuro and Puru Das’s New Delhi- and New York-based design firm’s booth. For their first-time participation, the founders debut four new collections, including the Tempest, Clarion, and Badal side tables. One of three Tempest tables’ alchemy of leathered smoky quartz and satin bronze yields a painterly finish with sculptural accents. The dramatic yet demure aesthetic also expands to the series’s other item in which a vesuvianite surface blends with an antique bronze frame.

James De Wulf

“There are fairs that have moved out of the Armory and continued their success at other venues, but I don’t know if Salon could ever be successful anywhere else,” says Bokor. A stark proof of the connection between the materials on offer and the venue is the fair’s programming across the Armory’s nooks and crannies as well as its soaring Drill Hall. A swift dialogue with the main exhibition hall’s ornate interior is Los Angeles-based artist De Wulf’s Exoskeleton series, a group of tables in bronze, brass, steel, stainless steel, and iron. Using reinforced concrete in poetic softness, the designer yields nature-inspired surfaces with gentle yet stern stems. Imperial Poker’s design is a floral-formed bronze and fabric interpretation of a gaming table which would typically come in wood and suede.

Another Swiss- and New York-based power player making its Salon debut, the fair’s Upper East Side neighbor presents an art-heavy display, featuring two pillars of western Modernism, Pablo Picasso and Louise Nevelson.

The latter’s Dawn’s Presence–Two (1969-1975) is a life-size sculpture with architectural cues—somewhere between an imagined metropolis and abundant geometry, the white-colored hefty wooden formation possesses a timeless energy. A 1918-dated Picasso, titled Vintage, is an oil on plaster on board, juxtaposing a quartet of four female nudes.

https://interiordesign.net/designwire/salon-art-design-highlights-2023/

Mercado Moderno

Tea cart by Móveis Novo Rumo, (1950s). Photography courtesy of Mercado Moderno and Móveis Novo Rumo.

Joining this year’s grouping from Rio de Janeiro for the first time, the gallery with a focus on Modern and Contemporary Brazilian design presents a striking selection of mid-century furniture. A highlight is Móveis Novo Rumo’s teacart from 1950s, made with plywood, metal, and veneered wood; slim and chic, the wheeled service table radiates a late Art Deco elegance. Jorge Zalszupi’s 1960s era Brasiliana armchairs in wood and fabric contain the duality of geometric ends in wood and rounded forms in textile.

ABASK

Global design platform founded by Tom Chapman and Nicolas Pickaerts presents a mini fair within the fair with an ample selection of objects in various styles, materials, and uses. The company’s promise of design from all over the globe includes oiled walnut serving board from Biarritz, France by self-taught woodworker Lucas Castex, brass and iron sculptures Viennese designer Carl Auböck hand-casts with his four-generation craft and molds, and Murano company NasonMoretti’s colorful glass tabletop objects that blend the mastery of blown glass with cold cutting techniques.

New York-based designer Matthew Fisher’s trip to Volterra, a town outside of Florence, Italy, last summer inspired the collection he debuts, titled Elegy, featuring a low table in Brazilian quartzites and Middle Eastern onyx. Dark bronze and burnished silver metalwork suspends the stone surfaces with tectonic grandiosity and marble-like liquid characteristics. Merging archeologic mystery with a contemporary curiosity, Fisher’s aesthetic philosophy filters an interest in antiquity with the time’s production means.

Thumbs-Up for ‘Hands On’ Jewelry Exhibit at Salon Art + Design

By Amy Elliott

https://www.jckonline.com/editorial-article/jewelry-show-salon-art-design/

A curated exhibition highlighting the work of contemporary jewelers will be presented by the Hudson, N.Y.–based Elevated Matter Gallery at next week’s Salon Art + Design fair in New York City.

Titled “Hands On,” the exhibition will showcase the work of designers Chris Davies, Stella Flame, Elizabeth Garvin, Anthony Lent, and Andy Lif—all studio jewelers who “are committed to discovery and moving creativity forward [and] have gone beyond commercial techniques and conventions, revealing fresh ideas and approaches,” says Davies, who is also the founder of Elevated Matter.

This is the gallery’s first year participating in Salon Art + Design, which will be held Nov. 9–13 at Manhattan’s Park Avenue Armory. The name “Hands On” refers to the mechanics of the designers’ creative process in the studio and to the idea that “in a world where technology, outsourcing, and commodity-based thinking becomes more status quo in the jewelry market, the preciousness of the human hand is more relevant than ever,” Davies says.

“This is the spirit and message we want to share.”

Elevated Matter’s Salon Art + Design debut marks the first time it has staged an exhibition beyond its home base.

“After two wonderful years in Hudson receiving collectors from NYC and around the world, the next logical step was to take the ‘show on the road,’ as it were,” says Davies. “We felt that Salon Art + Design was the perfect show for us. Having an exhibition program at the intersection of art and design, we are excited to develop a presence here, as well as other shows that reflect our commitment to contemporary art and design.”

Most of the “Hands On” designers “have invested decades developing their own hands and specialized techniques while training artisans to work alongside them,” says Davies. All the jewelers represented in the exhibition will be present at the fair. “It is very unusual for a gallery to have the full array of artists present for the duration of a show,” he says.

Below (and above), we preview some of the jewelry that will be featured in Elevated Matter’s booth at Salon Art + Design. These images might be enough to entice you to seen them in person, but if you need another reason: “The distillation of experience and vision in each of these jewels has been researched and honed over a lifetime, and in many cases will never be repeated,” explains Davies. “That is part of what earmarks a jewel as collectible.

Over time, design will always have a higher value than the materials. We know this experience will provide collectors with a unique kind of access to the creative vision in the works. Jewelry tells a story, and who better to tell it than the artist?”

Out & About: Salon Art + Design 12th Edition

By Minnie Kemp

Salon Art + Design, produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates made its return to the Park Avenue Armory in New York City this week and we were thrilled to make our way to the show. Join us as we share some highlights from their 12th edition…

Salon presents the world’s best design – vintage, modern and contemporary – enhanced by blue-chip 20th century art and features leading art and design galleries from all over the world, spotlighting the trends of collectible design.

The show was partnered with one of our favourite designers Cox London and how exciting it was to stroll under the giant magnolia shaped chandelier! Made from nearly 4,000 individually hand forged and painted iron leaves, the chandelier boasts blossom ‘plumes’ as lampshades. We were particularly excited as we will be showcasing Cox London’s work at our new Warren Street Hotel, opening in 2024.

It wasn’t the only treasure! At Charles Burnand Gallery, we found designer Gareth Devonald Smith’s sculptural masterpiece. We’re excited to share that we’ll be incorporating one of Gareth’s 20 foot sculptures above the bar at Warren Street Hotel.

https://kitkemp.com/out-about-salon-art-design-12th-edition/

We were also interested to see the work of an artist we’ve been following for a while. DenHolm is going from strength to strength, making beautiful stone pieces that are witty and unusual…

https://kitkemp.com/out-about-salon-art-design-12th-edition/

Tuleste Factory is an art and design gallery located in the heart of Chelsea and we were so excited to see our very own artist and Firmdale Art Ambassador Lyora Pissarro exhibiting her work. These paintings are layered with light and her utopian landscapes are constantly moving and undulating. Unlike anything you have ever seen and totally mesmerising, Lyora’s work has to be experienced firsthand to be truly believed.

https://kitkemp.com/out-about-salon-art-design-12th-edition/

Mercado Moderno is a gallery based in Rio de Janeiro, showcasing modern and contemporary Brazilian furniture and artwork. We were completely taken by this wonderful painting by Jaider Esbell an indigenous Brazilian artist.

Its yellow hues and bright colours complemented this rather masculine mid-century bench beneath…

https://kitkemp.com/out-about-salon-art-design-12th-edition/

The most interesting gallery this year for us was Amsterdam based Mia Karlova Galerie. The artists exhibited are unbelievably experimental, using materials in ways we haven’t seen before and pushing the boundaries of art and sculpture. Jordan Van der Ven uses wire and layers of concrete to create these Curved Sculpture chairs.

Vadim Kibardin is based in Prague and his work is like a Gothic fairytale. This ‘paper’ sofa was made from layers and layers of cardboard!

We hope you’ve found inspiration from this year’s Salon Art + Design highlights. We are already looking forward to the next one!

Salon Art + Design 2023 : le goût du mélange

By Brooke S. Mason

Le Salon Art + Design, organisé au Park Avenue Armory de New York du 9 au 13 novembre, s'est inséré dans un calendrier surchargé, dans la foulée de Design Miami/Paris, qui a connu un grand succès, West Bund Art & Design de Shanghai, et tandis que FAB PARIS ouvrira bientôt ses portes, le 22 novembre. Selon la directrice du salon, Jill Bokor, le recrutement des marchands a donc été difficile. « Il y a moins de grands designers français

disponibles, et les collectionneurs recherchent une touche de contemporain. C'est pourquoi nous avons choisi de présenter cette année des propositions d'ABASK ou de Silvia Furmanovich. » Selon le Wall Street Journal, le marché de l'immobilier de luxe est désormais caractérisé par des acheteurs fortunés qui paient comptant : les ventes et les prix du 5% de maisons les plus chères dépassent l'ensemble du marché immobilier, tandis que le prix de vente médian des maisons de luxe est passé à 1,1 million de dollars. Les États-Unis comptent aujourd'hui 144 925 architectes d'intérieur et les affaires sont florissantes pour nombre d'entre eux. Parmi les nouveaux venus cette année dans la catégorie design, Guy Regal, Achille Salvagni, Mercado Moderno, Spazio Nobile, Tuleste Factory, ou bo Design Group ont répondu présents, ainsi que la Galerie Mathivet et la Galerie Philia, toutes les deux parisiennes. Guy Regal, dont la galerie est située au 200 Lex– surnommé le New York Design Center en raison de ses 100 show rooms – a vendu un meuble Bugatti de 1907 à six chiffres, une lampe en bronze Edgar Brandt de

1920 et une paire de tables en galuchat de Jules Leleu datant de 1922 : « Tous ces clients étaient des architectes d'intérieur de Los Angeles, de New York et du Texas, observe le marchand. Il y a beaucoup d'argent dans les parages. ». Côté exposants, citons parmi les nouvelles arrivées la Galerie Gmurzynska, qui présentait une œuvre monumentale de Louise Nevelson et des peintures de Wifredo Lam, Jawlensky et Anh Duong, ainsi que la galerie londonienne Halcyon. Kate Brown, directrice de la création chez cette dernière, a déclaré avoir vendu Limitless (2023), écran électronique et tactile de Dominic Harris, pour 325 000 dollars. Bien que cette édition ressemblait un peu à ce que les amateurs de design qualifieraient de « mélange des genres », témoignant ainsi de son évolution, les allées étaient pleines à craquer : le vernissage VIP a attiré 2 000 personnes, dont les grands architectes d'intérieur Martin Brudnizki, Anthony Ingrao et Giancarlo Valle, les collectionneurs Beth Rudin DeWoody, Dennis Freedman, Lisa Perry et Dominique Lévy, la créatrice de mode Carolina Herrera, ou les créatrices de mode Mary-Kate et Ashley Olsen. Lobel Modern a cédé un vase en verre vénitien Karl Springer de 1960 pour 15 000 dollars, un tableau de Philip et Kelvin Laverne pour 35 000 dollars et un ensemble de chaises pliantes Karl Springer en laiton et chrome pour 15 000 dollars. Evan Lobel a également vendu une chaise Ribbon de Pierre Paulin et une œuvre sur papier d'Andy Warhol. « La fréquentation a augmenté de 39 % par rapport à l'année dernière », a indiqué l'organisation de la foire, qui n'a pas souhaité communiquer les chiffres de fréquentation avant sa cloture www.thesalonny.com

From uber-luxury trunks to Prince’s wardrobe, NYC adopted an artistic vibes.

By Isabelle Kellogg The art fairs are back in town and we’re out and about to see what’s trending for collectors and those curious about art and design. Follow along!

The Bar Trunk by Trunks Company.

We stopped in to The Art Show, one of the longest-running art fairs in the country and put on by the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA). For its 130th edition, 57 booths featured solo exhibitions, including standout presentations by Tavares Strachan with Marian Goodman Gallery (New York), Joel Mesler with Cheim & Read (New York), Sheila Hicks with Sikkema Jenkins & Co. (New York), Roy Lichtenstein with Castelli Gallery (New York) and Kiki Smith with Pace Gallery (New York & Los Angeles). I was particularly interested in the George Sand (French writer and artist) watercolor series presented by the Jill Newhouse Gallery.

For anyone who’s interested in top tier furniture, fine art and décor, the annual Salon Art & Design fair is one of the most anticipated fairs of the year with its high style exhibitors and their expertly curated settings in the categories of art and design. Held at the historic and huge Park Avenue Armory on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, I always feel as if I’m crashing Elle Décor and Architectural Digest magazine photoshoots!

Fifty of the world’s finest galleries who present design and art from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries encompassing historical, modern and contemporary furniture and groundbreaking design exhibited this year. It’s a chic and vibrant mix of genres and styles, and the only fair of this caliber in these categories. For the first time, Salon

integrated a select group of special design and jewelry exhibitions on the floor, ranging from exclusive capsule collections from individual designers to smaller curations from galleries such as ABASK.

Paritosh Mehta of Trunks Company (founded in 2011) is a first-time exhibitor. Of the company’s Rajputana Bar Cabinet Trunk, Library Bar Trunk and Chess Bar Cabinet, he said, “We have fused an innate romanticism and art with intricate craftsmanship to treasure one’s prized possessions, passions and emotions. We continue to draw cultural inspiration from Jaipur’s timeless heritage, and our journey is an ever-evolving canvas with intricate details, depth, and layers.” These masterpieces merge Indian culture with craftsmanship and are made in the company’s headquarters in the regal city of Jaipur, India.

On the flip side, we took in The Other Art Fair, presented by Saatchi Art, which took place in Brooklyn the same weekend, with affordable artworks from more than 120 artists from around the globe, with more than half of exhibitors local to the New York metropolitan area. Throughout the weekend, fair visitors mingled among art works, the artists, and also enjoyed drinks and delicious bites, with live DJ sets, unique installations and hands-on workshops. The Other Art Fair fosters an inclusive environment where art is for everyone. Placing an emphasis on community, the Brooklyn edition supports and promotes local talent with numerous New York-based partners, brands, artists, organizations and more.

Not considered an art fair, but worth mentioning, is the upcoming auction of legendary musician Prince’s iconic wardrobe and accessories presented by RR Auctions. Attending the preview of “The Fashion of Prince” at the newly refurbished Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan, we took a closer look at the glamorous coats, the sensational white ruffled blouse, plus shoes and costume jewelry, all part of the collection being auctioned this month.

Steamer Trunks That Serve as Casinos and Libraries

For over ten years, the Jaipur, India-based brothers and founders of Trunks Company, Priyank and Paritosh Mehta, have been on a mission to revive the steamer trunk and support local artists who make them. This week, they’ll be exhibiting ten of the most ornate examples of the company’s work at the Salon Art + Design fair at the Park Avenue Armory, from a library trunk with quilted leather lining that’s embedded with speakers and lit with LED spotlights to a hand-painted red, white and navy blue Games Island Trunk that unfolds to become a tiny casino featuring amusements like Jenga, poker and chess. About a dozen craftspeople work two to three months on each of the trunks, which are meant to be statement pieces in a home rather than accompanying their owners https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/09/t-magazine/golden-hour-books-hudsonvalley.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

on a trip, says Paritosh. “We’ve been commissioned to craft a trunk in the shape of the Taj Mahal Palace by the hotel, and to make a trunk for a collector to display his watch collection,” he says. “We’re building a whole lifestyle around heritage trunks.” Next year, though, the company plans to debut its most practical collection to date: handpainted trunks with wheels that one can actually travel with. Price on request, on view at the Park Avenue Armory

The Art Show Highlights Masters — and Artists Under the Radar The Art Dealers Association of America fair at the Park Avenue Armory offers 78 international galleries with blue-chip booths, along with artisans rescued from the margins.

The world is in tumult but for the moment, the business of art marches on. Artists go to their studios, museums keep their doors open and art critics try to make sense of it all. Meanwhile, the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA), a members-only organization known for its blue-chip brands, has assembled for its annual fair.

The 35th edition of The Art Show at the Park Avenue Armory offers up 78 galleries and 57 solo presentations. All proceeds from admissions go to the Henry Street Settlement. The quality of artwork here is high: smart, well made, innovative. There are very strong showings here by well-regarded artists like Hope Gangloff, Julie Heffernan, Sheila Hicks, Kurt Kauper, Pieter Schoolwerth and Tavares Strachan — even watercolors by the famed, gender-bending 19th-century author George Sand. What the Art Show demonstrates, however, is the fleet-footed ability of contemporary galleries — compared with larger or besieged institutions — to ferret out lesser-known artists and showcase them in compact, distinctive displays. This edition of the fair really shines in highlighting under-the-radar masters, often women and Black artists. (For more of a design and antiques focus, visit this Armory next week for the Salon Art + Design fair.) Here are a handful of booths that particularly snagged my attention. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/02/arts/design/the-art-show-park-avenue-armory-best-booths.html

At Salon Art + Design, Gold Bracelets and LipstickRed Monochromes The 12th edition of the fair, dedicated to fine and decorative arts, offers a beguiling mix of paintings, jewelry and modern Brazilian design.

This year’s Salon Art + Design, the 12th edition of a fair dedicated to fine and decorative arts, transforms the Park Avenue Armory into a fabulous and eccentric collector’s house. Open through Monday, it brings together works

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/12/arts/design/salon-art-design.html?smid=nytcore-iosshare&referringSource=articleShare

on paper by the artist Robert Mangold (Zeit Contemporary Art) and wooden sculpture by Louise Nevelson (Galerie Gmurzynska) alongside rare books (Potterton Books), chunky gold Tiffany bracelets (DK Farnum) and a shiny, surreal, curiously tooth-like chair made of solid bronze by Voukenas Petrides (Fumi Gallery).

On the whole, there’s more jewelry than lithography, so it takes an unusual piece of fine art to stand out. But one painting that can do the job is a three-foot-square, lipstick-red near monochrome by the 98-year-old Japanese American painter Ted Kurahara (Caroline Davenport Japanese Art). Broken into subtle vertical bars with two distinct shades of cadmium red — it is titled “Cadmium Red Medium and Deep” (2015) — it glows and flickers like an ethereal fire. Among the furniture, the first thing to look for is an extraordinary parchment desk made with copper and bronze around 1902 by Carlo Bugatti (Galerie Mathivet). With metal discs and four elaborate rosettes on its back, it looks like a computer console from an alien civilization.

At Mercado Moderno, a 1958 canapé with matching armchairs by the Brazilian designer Joaquim Tenreiro, all squares of dark, knife-edged wood filled with tightly-woven cane, are astonishing: severe but gracious, imposing but spare, abstract but, because of the cane, with an underlying warmth. A tapestry at Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts makes an interesting complement. Created around 1908 by the Czech puppeteer, painter and teacher Rudolf Livora, it shows a girl in a tight-fitting purple knit cap playing a double flute. Looking down and closing her eyes, she is clearly concentrating — but whether she’s absorbed in the music or simply finding it difficult is impossible to say.

Jill Bokor On Art, Design Fairgoers and What Not to Miss at Salon New to the Salon Art + Design fair this year are Gmurzynska and Zeit Contemporary Art, both of which are showing the best of modern and contemporary European and American art.

By Dan Duray The Salon Art + Design fair opens at the Park Avenue Armory today (Nov. 10), marking the event’s 12th edition, which boasts fifty exhibitors and twelve special design exhibitions for a total of sixty-two booths. This year will show an expanded emphasis on art with newcomers to the fair Galerie Gmurzynska, Halcyon Gallery and Zeit Contemporary Art offering works for the first time.

Observer recently had a chance to catch up with Jill Bokor, Salon’s Executive Director, to hear about what makes this iteration unique.

What makes the Park Avenue Armory so good for art fairs?

The atmosphere of the Park Avenue Armory is perfect for an event like Salon in large part because it, in itself, is a curated work of design. The leading architects of the day, Stanford White, Louis Comfort Tiffany and the Herter Brothers all had a hand in the design of this incredible building, creating a structure filled with interest and detail.

When you enter through its heavy, heavy doors you are transported into a Gilded Age world, setting a wonderful tone for the showing of fine art and design.

How did the idea for the Salon entryway by Cox London come about?

Cox London specializes in tailor-made, artistically designed lighting, furniture and artwork. It was founded in 2005 by sculpture makers Chris and Nicola Cox. In 2022, their business development manager, Maddie Lamont, visited Salon Art + Design and experienced the power of the two showcases: the entryway chandelier designed by Thomas Newman and the Brutalism display from Amy Lau Design under the Grand Staircases. They were immediately sold on applying to exhibit in both locations to maximize their first major U.S. fair exhibition.

What are some booths that visitors should be sure not to miss at this edition of the fair?

Visitors should visit every booth. Unlike large art fairs, Salon is small and intimate with only sixty-two installations on the floor so it is possible to see each one without feeling overwhelmed. We’re very excited to welcome some new galleries this year. Among them, Mia Karlova from The Netherlands is showcasing contemporary European design with great flair. New to us this year are Gmurzynska and Zeit Contemporary Art, both of which are showing the best of modern and contemporary European and American art. Finally, the Salon has introduced jewelry this year, and our five jewelry exhibitors whose offerings range from early 20th century works to whimsical contemporary creations are not to be missed!

This year you’ve increased the number of booths that are focused on art rather than design. Why is that?

We have always thought of the Salon’s installations as immersive, reflecting spaces where people actually live. The inclusion of art is very important. Who of us lives without something we love on his/her/their walls?

https://observer.com/2023/11/jill-bokor-interview/

How do you differentiate between the worlds of art and design? Many design objects are quite sculptural, and many paintings are decorative.

That is absolutely true, and happily, we don’t really have to make that distinction. If the quality is great and the materials are innovative, does it matter what we call it?

How are design fairgoers different from those seeking art? Can you tell the difference at your fair?

There is certainly a significant crossover between art and design collectors, but one of the differences is that at Salon, a large percentage of our guests are architects and interior designers. They are usually working on several different projects at a time. We frequently see designers with different clients return throughout the fair, sometimes shopping for vintage material, another day looking at the most cutting-edge contemporary design.

This is your twelfth year as executive director of this fair. What have you learned about the job in that time?

I have always said that Salon both predicts and reflects trends. Obviously, these things run in cycles so it’s important to be open to everything. With so many repeat visitors from year to year, it’s critical to offer the element of surprise, and we have tried very hard to do that. It’s important to consider everything, not just the exhibitors’ booths, but the entrance, the flowers… even the signature cocktails! https://observer.com/2023/11/jill-bokor-interview/

Salon Art + Design Dives Headfirst into Diamonds The exceptional art fair is exhibiting incredible natural diamond jewels this year.

By Jane Asher

DK Farnum, Rosior, Silvia Furmanovich

Salon Art + Design has returned for its 12th year in New York City at the Park Avenue Armory with new galleries and unique displays of collectible design, including some serious natural diamond jewelry. Produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, the fair features 50 exhibitors from around the world, presenting vintage, contemporary, modern, and even 20th century art.

Each exhibitor curates a distinctively immersive space displaying their collectible designs and fine art, with many exhibitors displaying pieces of fine jewelry that fit within the theme of their space. “The exhibitors were encouraged to create spaces that the attendees would feel really at home in and that’s pretty much what we have done,” shares Executive Director of Salon Art + Design Jill Bokor in an exclusive interview with Only Natural Diamonds. “Every booth experience was like ‘I can imagine living this way.’”

https://www.naturaldiamonds.com/style/salon-art-design-dives-headfirst-into-diamonds/

Salon Art + Design is just now dipping their toes into the jewelry space, but it was a decision that felt natural to the curation of the fair. “We are highlighting our art and design through the conversation about jewelry and this is just the beginning for us,” Bokor explains.

“In the past, we have always treated jewelry as a sort of partnership to what we do on the floor of the Salon,” she says. “The more I thought about design, the more I thought this is a more inclusive time and it would be a good moment to step into the jewelry arena.” Bokor goes on to list the different themes to expect throughout the fair, from deco to mid-century, naturally evoking images of rare, antique-cut natural diamond rings and lavish brooches found at prolific auction houses around the world.

With jewelry exhibitors and partners like Rosior, DK Farnum, Yvel Jewelry, Elevated Matter, and Silvia Furmanovich, this year’s jewelry offerings have become more of a focal point for the fair. “A few years ago, an exhibitor asked if she could put some jewelry on her stand and we said sure as long as it’s not more than twenty percent of the stand and it’s creatively displayed,” Bokor explains of the origin of jewels at the fair. “And she sold out, so that was food for some thought.” From there, including jewelry became a no-brainer.

“I believe the same client collects fine art, decorative art and jewelry, and particularly the design jewelry correlation is a very strong one,” she says. And with the curation of designers at the fair, Bokor is hoping to present art that attendees have never seen before. “We are trying to create a mood of absolute delight and enchantment,” she smiles. “With a little bit of caprice and whimsey.”

This sense of rarity is important to Bokor and to the fair itself: “85 percent of what you are going to see in the fair is original,” she explains. “On the art side, you would hardly ever see a print, you would almost always see unique works.” Showing only natural diamond jewelry follows the same logic; Bokor and her team want the original, the piece with inherent rarity and value.

“Every single piece of jewelry that’s in these booths is completely unique and that’s… really important,” she continues. “I think whenever important jewelers do fairs… if you buy that piece, you’re going to be the only person in the world who has it.” One-of-a-kind pieces for one-of-a-kind shoppers.

“This is a category I do plan to expand for next year and I will be very interested to hear the feedback,” Bokor says.

“And I have every reason to believe that our client is a high-end jewelry client as well.” For those looking for unique natural diamond jewelry that cannot be found on Fifth Avenue, High Street, or Rodeo Drive, Salon Art + Design is the perfect destination.

Visit Salon Art + Design from November 9 through November 13th at the Park Avenue Armory.

Salon Art + Design Brings More Jewelry and Accessibly Priced Objects to the Annual Fair

At this year’s 12th edition of Salon, which is produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, fair goers will also see special design exhibition booths, featuring capsule collections from individual designers and gallery curations, integrated within the fair.

The displays will also include more jewelry than in the past—about 10% of the show, says Jill Bokor, executive director of Salon, which runs from Nov. 9-13 at the Park Avenue Armory in New York.

“Most of the people who come are going to know something’s different, but they aren’t going to see a completely retooled fair,” Bokor says.

The jewelry booths will include everything from one-of-a-kind, 20th-century pieces from established designers offered by New York and Connecticut’s DK Farnum Estate Jewelry to colorful gems in very contemporary settings from Rosior in Portugal, including a bracelet of rings studded in diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, tsavorites, and yellow gold for €54,300 (US$57,656).

London-based Didier Ltd. also returns to Salon with its pieces made and designed by artists from the late 19th century to the end of the 20th century, and the fair includes Elevated Matter from Hudson, N.Y., which is owned by jeweler Chris Davies.

“He’s bringing the work of other jewelers along with him, all contemporary, and the background of this is going to be Chinese paintings, which I’m very excited to see,” Bokor says.

For example, Elevated Matter will have an 18-karat yellow-gold ring with a 5.05-carat Muzo emerald, and enamel, for US$330,000 in addition to Tai Xiangzhou’s Celestial Tales—Song of Primordial State, 2023, an ink on silk painting in two panels, for US$300,000.

Other special design booths will add an eclectic and contemporary sensibility to the fair, and will include ceramics and other objects made in editions versus originals of one that are more accessible to a range of buyers, Bokor says.

“That distinction between gallery and showroom to me has become finer and finer,” she says.

A good example of this is Abask, which is headquartered in London and was founded last year by Nicolas Pickaerts and Tom Chapman. Abask is bringing curated, collectible home-design objects created by more than 100 designers. Their offerings range from fine Viennese silverware, to handmade games, to artisanal embroidery, in addition to glass and ceramics. A Carlo Moretti Pagur Marble Vase, for instance, is US$530, and a large stoneware vase by Peter Speliopoulos Projects is US$1,435.

Another is Silvia Furmanovich, a Brazilian designer who began working in fine jewelry and is now also creating colorful, household objects, some of which are functional. At Salon, Furmanovich will debut an “East/West” collection inspired by her travels in Japan. The pieces incorporate both Japanese craft traditions and Furmanovich’s wood marquetry technique, which is realized by craftsmen in the Amazon rainforest.

A marquetry clutch made of thin pieces of veneer and slices of wood cut into shapes made into intricate pattern, for instance, is US$7,260, while a set of earrings created in the traditional Japanese technique known as “sprinkled picture” or Maki-e, with gold or silver powder applied to lacquerware, are US$9,240.

Other exhibitors include Paris-based architecture and design firm Charles Zana Mobilier, which will return to Salon with a new line of furniture, and Trunks Co., from Jaipur, India.

Priyank and Paritosh Mehta, who founded Trunks, will debut new creations of their handcrafted wares at Salon, including a “game island trunk” that unfolds to reveal traditional board games such as chess, backgammon, and Jenga.

For the first time, the fair also will include a book dealer. Potterton Books from London is bringing a “fantastic collection” of design publications, Bokor says.

“These are collectible books, and the ones I’ve seen images of are just beyond gorgeous, very international,” she says.

Two designers whose work had been shown in the past at Salon by Maison Gerard, a New York gallery working with modern and contemporary European and American design that will return to the fair this year, will have their own exhibitions this year.

Among objects offered by Achille Salvagni Atelier, with galleries in London and New York focused on limited edition furniture and lighting, is a unique Gio Ponti “Zodiac Table,” which the designer said is “considered essential to the canon of Ponti’s early 1930s Rationalist furniture designs.” The table, which includes an etched colored glass dome from a collaboration with Fontana Arte, is US$500,000.

Los Angeles-based artist James De Wulf, who also has exhibited with Maison Gerard, is showing his “Exoskeleton” series in a special design exhibition booth. For the series, De Wulf uses “non-corrosive metals to reinforce concrete externally rather than internally,” according to a summary by Salon. The booth will include four new pieces from this series—which the fair said is inspired by “the way things grow in nature”—include a “Mosaic Lily Exo” side table for US$13,200.

Halcyon Gallery in London will offer Dominic Harris’ Metamorphosis: Unseen for US$95,000. Halcyon Gallery and Salon Art + Design

https://www.barrons.com/articles/salon-art-design-brings-more-jewelry-and-accessiblypriced-objects-to-the-annual-fair-9bc5885f

The galleries on the floor are skewed more toward design than art, although several booths focus on fine art including a new addition to the fair, Switzerland’s Galerie Gmurzynska, which is bringing works by Louise Nevelson and Pablo Picasso.

Another new addition is London’s Halcyon Gallery, which will have pieces by British artist Dominic Harris, who uses technology to create interactive, electronic works.

Harris’ Metamorphosis: Unseen, a mesmerizing screen of flitting, colorful butterflies in a 7by-8 grid, is US$95,000.

Spazio Nobile from Belgium, is a new gallery that will bring a mix of art and design, “which is my favorite thing to have happen,” Bokor says. Mia Karlova Galerie B.V. from the Netherlands—founded in 2020 and also new to the fair—will bring functional sculpture grounded in sustainable practices.

“There will be work there that hasn’t been seen before and that’s always the thrill—what can you find that you haven’t seen before?” she says.

Inspired jewels shine at Salon Art + Design

By Anthony DeMarco

Ten exhibitors displayed jewelry that ranged from vintage and period pieces to contemporary creations, each with a unique perspective.

An extremely large crowd of well-dressed and well-heeled collectors crammed into the Park Avenue Armory in New York for the opening day of Salon Art + Design, the annual collectible design and art fair, which was held from November 9 to 13.

Some 50 exhibitors from several countries presented vintage, modern and contemporary art and design objects in various collectible categories. Among them, scattered about the exhibition hall, were 10 exhibitors presenting jewels.

London-based jewelry dealers Didier and Martine Haspeslagh of Didier Ltd were happy that for the first time the jewelers were included on the main floor of the fair. Previously, they were scattered about the exterior rooms or, in Didier’s case, the corner of the entrance lobby.

The couple specialize in jewels by artists from the second half of the 20th century, who are best known for their works in other artistic mediums, such as sculpture or painting. They acquire all of their pieces from the secondary markets and are undoubtedly the leaders in this category niche. Among their broad and diverse group of jewels, there’s a specific focus; this time it was American artists alongside American craft jewelers.

Fortune Teller pendant by Cinday Sherman. (Anthony DeMarco)

Among the pieces they presented was a brass watch pendant called “Fortune Teller” by Cindy Sherman. It recreates one of her best-known photographs, of Sherman herself as a fortune teller, stylized in costume and with a crystal ball. Other pieces included a spiral brooch by renowned American sculptor Alexander Calder, and an Andy Warhol Times/5 watch bracelet with five dials for different time zones, with each dial displaying a photograph of New York. It is one of 250 pieces.

The blackened-walled exhibition space of Silvia Furmanovich was popping with colorful jewels and decorative home interiors pieces using Japanese craft techniques, such as bamboo weaving, lacquerware and wood carving.

Chris Davies Cleo cuff in horn, amethyst, red jasper and 18-karat gold. (Chris Davies)

In another section were five jewelers from an artist gallery called Elevated Matters, founded by Chris Davies, a jewelry artist based in Hudson, NY. His works are as influenced by high fashion as they are by traditional jewelry design and craftsmanship. His pieces are textural and flowing, often draping across the body. Davies has developed a technique he calls “woven granulation” and often weaves complex granulated designs encasing gemstones. Like most of his pieces, they have a fabric-like texture.

The other jewelers in this group were Stella Flame, who presented pieces that combined her design esthetic with Turkish craftsmanship; Andy Lif, whose sculptural 18-karat gold pieces often incorporate plique-à-jour, a vitreous enameling; Elizabeth Garvin, who specializes in metallurgy and creates distinctive geometric jewels; and the fine jewels of Anthony Lent.

DK Farnum deals with classic 20th-century jewels from big-name jewelry houses. One piece in the center of the cabinet that caught my attention was a large 18-karat yellow gold snake necklace with a detachable head that can be worn as a pendant. Another piece that stood out was a pair of 18-karat yellow gold and diamond Cartier star bombe earrings, circa 1950s.

Israeli jeweler Yvel’s exhibition space was popping with big colorful gems, elaborate pearl jewels and sculptural pieces. These included the candy-colored Fantasia flower brooch made of pearls, tourmalines, gold and diamonds.

Also exhibiting was Rosior, a family-owned Portuguese jewelry brand founded in 1870. All of its finely crafted pieces are produced in house.

Mia Karlova Galerie's debut at Salon Art + Design will feature functional sculptures The Dutch art and design gallery will platform the works of nine international artists and designers during the five-day event in New York, USA.

By Almas Sadique

Amsterdam-based Mia Karlova Galerie will soon display an exposition of collectible design objects and contemporary art installations during the upcoming Salon Art + Design in New York, USA. The New York fair, which features works by some of the most influential galleries, in the realms of art, architecture and design, is scheduled to take place from November 9 to 13, 2023. The list of international artists and designers whose works will be showcased by Mia Karlova Galerie during the annual design event include Sho Ota, Jordan van der Ven, Vadim Kibardin, Jesse Visser, Yulia Batyrova and Marat Mukhametov, Moon Seop Seo, and Olesya and Andriy Voznicki.

https://www.stirpad.com/news/stir-news/mia-karlova-galeries-debut-at-salon-art-design-will-featurefunctional-sculptures/

Sitting under the realms of both art and design, the works shortlisted for showcase during the art and design fair highlight emotionally-driven and environmentally-conscious attempts at crafting both functional and decorative entities.

‘Beacon of Light’ by Jesse Visser Image: Bas Losekoot

Jesse Visser, who is a product designer and interior designer from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, will showcase a special edition of his ‘Beacon of Light,’ a lighting design installation. The sculptural piece pivots with the help of a jute rope running over a fragile pulley jutting out from the wall, representing the ‘fragile point of balance or fulcrum in a world of confusion and uncertainty.’ A piece of unique doubly terminated milky quartz crystal rock holds the hanging luminaire (which is made from sanded glass), in place. “Jesse’s object is both a lighthouse and an anchor, encouraging serenity in its viewer through its form and content,” the design and art gallery asserts.

Eindhoven-based Japanese designer Sho Ota. Known for building minimalist stratified sculptures, Ota will present a sculptural table and console made out of tinted beechwood as part of the Dutch gallery’s showcase during the design festival. He utilises the classic mechanisms of traditional Japanese wood craftsmanship to build pieces using natural wood. The designer sculpts pieces with the intention of displaying the beauty of imperfect natural features, leaving nothing hidden. Ota permits the texture and grain of each piece of wood to dictate the final appearance of his pieces.

‘Fluid’ porcelain and cement sculpture by Yulia Batyrova and Marat Mukhametov Image: Courtesy of Mia Karlova Galerie

Another sculptural creation that bears the potential of mesmerising its viewers with a soft litany of organic curves are the ‘Fluid’ and ‘Bird’ sculptures by nomad artists Yulia Batyrova and Marat Mukhametov. The artist duo, currently based in Turkey, sculpt pieces using lightweight materials, ensuring their brisk movement and a perpetually transforming form. In configuring sculptures that are essentially fluid, the artists manage to give shape to art forms that defy compliance, and instead, move freely, just like natural entities. An excerpt from the press release shared by the gallery further details their process, “The combination of concrete and porcelain speaks about the human loss of harmony with nature and the infertility of attempts to restore it. Batyrova and Mukhametov meticulously assemble countless number of finest porcelain feathers seeking to follow this motion creating extraordinary sculptures.”

Diptych by by Andriy Voznick Image: Courtesy of Mia Karlova Galerie

Ukrainian sculptor Andriy Voznicki's work trudges further away from their classification under design and snugly sit under the categorisation of art. Voznicki, who hails from Ukraine, and usually crafts three-dimensional sculptures, strayed away from the traditional path of sculpture art to create visceral canvases. He combined pieces of wood, clay, coal and dry grass to create two multilayered and multitextured wall hangings for the design fair.

“Our practice is very much rooted in the environment in which we find ourselves at any given moment in our lives.

There’s something truly magical about transforming elements that were once utilitarian into unexpected, tactile objects,” added the Ukrainian artist.

Vanity mirror and a chair from ‘Black Mirror’ collection of cardboard furniture by Vadim Kibardin Image: Jeroen van der Spek

PrevNext Prague-based artist, industrial designer, researcher and craftsman Vadim Kibardin, known for crafting clean and ecologically conscious designs such as furniture design conceptualised with discarded cardboard and paper, will present a chair and vanity table from their Black Mirror collection, at the fair. “The capsule combines both functionality, comfort and a non-trivial sense of luxury - a close characteristic of the outstanding design objects, remaining an undeniable reference throughout many decades if not centuries,” the gallery shares.

Another piece of functional object that will make a show at the American design and art event in November is Dutch designer Jordan van der Ven’s ‘Curved Sculpture’ chair. The chair design is part of a larger collection that is inspired by materials used to configure architectural forms. The process of crafting the pieces in this collection is art-based. The designer began this process by cutting out and configuring rebar metal in curvilinear formats.

Once this framework was ready, he applied layers of white cement to it to give it volume. His artistic methodology gives form to objects that are functional.

Mia Karlova Galerie's showcase is part of Salon Art + Design 2023, from November 9 - 13, 2023, in New York.

New York’s upcoming Salon Art+Design fair will debut a dedicated jewelry section.

The Salon Art+Design fair in New York is expanding its offerings by introducing a dedicated jewelry section in its upcoming 12th edition, scheduled for Nov. 9–13 at the Park Avenue Armory. This marks a departure from previous years, where the fair had only sporadically featured jewelry brands. The new section aims to showcase a range of unique and vintage pieces, including works from early 20th-century independent jewelers as well as heritage labels like Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels. Executive director Jill Bokor believes the inclusion of well-designed jewelry complements the fair’s existing focus on furniture, ceramics, and lighting, and will serve as a “refresh” that broadens the event’s overall appeal.

Designer of the Day: Niamh Barry

By Ryan Waddoups

https://www.surfacemag.com/articles/niamh-barry-designer-day/

Soon after Niamh Barry graduated from National College of Art and Design, she pivoted her practice from ceramics to metalwork—specifically bronze, a durable material that affords her more control. In the three decades since she launched her practice north of Dublin, the self-taught Irish talent has emerged as a bona fide trailblazer who incorporates LEDs into her experimental metalwork to forge transformative (and physically satisfying) design objects that transcend their utility. One in particular is sure to steal the show at this year’s Salon Art + Design: perhaps her breakthrough piece, a one-of-a-kind lighting sculpture formed from eight bronze components that took her and her team more than 1,400 hours to complete.

Here, we ask designers to take a selfie and give us an inside look at their life.

Occupation: Designer.

Instagram: @niamhbarry1 Hometown: Dublin.

Studio location: Set amongst the fields near the coast north Dublin city, Ireland.

Describe what you make: Sculptural lighting and furniture, entirely handcrafted in my studio by myself and my team of highly skilled craftsmen.

Muscularity. Image courtesy of Maison Gerard

The most important thing you’ve designed to date: Every piece has its place in my ongoing development as a designer, but probably the commission for The Central Bank of Ireland.

Describe the problem your work solves: Bringing a palpable sense of dynamism, character, beauty, and uniqueness to a space, which enriches the lives of the people who get to live with my works, as they are truly unique pieces that speak to the hand of the artist.

https://www.surfacemag.com/articles/niamh-barry-designer-day/

Describe the project you’re working on now: Multiple at the moment, one of which is a brand new piece that will debut at Design Miami in December and three separate monumental works for private collections. One is for a house carved out of solid stone, a remarkable piece of architecture. The piece needed to be both strong to stand up to the architecture and I also wanted it to be organic to cleverly juxtapose against the rigid and austere solid stone house. My piece is dynamic and reminiscent of the muscular form of the human body with a palpable sense of gravitas to form but yet lightness in the context of the environment.

A new or forthcoming project we should know about: “In the Eyes Of,” my new piece for Design Miami (Dec. 6–10). It’s a highly sculptural unique piece that breaks new ground.

https://www.surfacemag.com/articles/niamh-barry-designer-day/

Counterpoise III. Image courtesy of Maison Gerard

What you absolutely must have in your studio: Noise-canceling headphones to drown out the sound of constant hammering of bronze. San Pellegrino. Feu du Bois Diptyque candles. My library of art reference books.

What you do when you’re not working: Work! I never stop. My mind works best when conceptualizing new pieces when I am most relaxed, whilst walking or even sleeping.

Sources of creative envy (dead or alive): That’s a difficult one. Richard Serra, Les Lalanne, ancient craftspeople who would’ve made the solid gold bronze age artifact called The Broighter Hoard.

The distraction you want to eliminate: Managing the business side. I’d love to be able to focus entirely on creativity.

Concrete or marble? Concrete.

High-rise or townhouse? Townhouse.

Remember or forget? Remember.

Aliens or ghosts? Well, ghosts don’t exist and aliens must, so aliens.

Dark or light? Light, obviously!

Balletic Influences Permeate These Sculptural Stone Objects Virtuosic designer Matthew Fisher speaks on his latest collection of stone furniture and vessels, which launched last week at Salon Art + Design.

By Jenna Adrian-Diaz

Matthew Fisher, the New York–based talent who imbues sculptural stone objects with an anthropological slant, found inspiration in an unexpected place for his latest collection: the ballet. It’s no coincidence that the collection, Elegy, shares a name with the somber final movement of Serenade, George Balanchine’s first full-length American ballet. The production’s origins are steeped in the late choreographer’s vision for New York City Ballet; the composition was created to teach the fledgling company how to perform. Set to Tschaikovsky’s emotive Serenade for Strings, the production has evolved from its origins as a teaching ballet and now also reads as a meditation on the passage of time.

Fisher, a trained dancer and Lincoln Center regular, has channeled that profundity into a collection that represents a new frontier for his creative process. He mostly specialized in tabletop objects until now, but Elegy’s stone https://www.surfacemag.com/articles/matthew-fisher-elegy-sculptural-stone-collection/

lanterns and coffee tables see him work on a much larger scale. Accents rendered in oxidized bronze and pumiced silver reflect his vision for the collection as “jewelry at a monolithic scale.” While natural stone has long been his material of choice, sourcing the marble, quartzite, and onyx used in Elegy took him to more than four continents over the course of a year.

In many ways, Elegy represents the convergence of a lifetime of inspiration found within the arts and beyond. “My father’s work as a geologist had my brothers and me trading playgrounds for quarries and sea cliffs on more than one occasion,” he says. “Later in life as I trained as a dancer in New York City, I lived amongst the travertine temples to the arts in Lincoln Center. In summer, I would lay on the stone benches of the now erased Paul Milstein Plaza to feel the earth’s material radiate heat into my core. As my life took a turn, stone became the material that shaped my understanding of ancient art and architecture.”

Fisher, in turn, pays it forward by expanding the way the rest of us see and understand stone. In his hands, the cold, inert material transforms into a manifestation of divine force.

New York’s Salon Art + Design fair returns for its 12th edition

International artists, designers, architects, and collectors will descend upon New York’s Park Avenue Armory from November 9 to 13 for the annual Salon Art + Design. Returning for its 12th edition, the leading fair for collectible design will continue its legacy in merging time and space, bringing together vintage, modern, and futuristic designs from around the world. This year, the fair (produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates) is extending its line-up, welcoming new exhibitors, U.S. debuts, and, for the first time, will integrate a select group of special design and jewelry exhibitions.

“We want Salon to provide a sense of discovery for our audiences, which includes both seasoned and entry-level collectors alike,” said Jill Bokor, executive director of Salon Art + Design, in a statement. “While Salon is known for showing some of the most world-renowned galleries in design, we also want the fair to serve as a platform for burgeoning galleries who are showcasing some of the most cutting-edge design, whether that be vintage, modern, https://www.archpaper.com/2023/10/new-yorks-salon-art-design-fair-returns-for-its-12thedition/?amp=1

or contemporary. We’re excited for our visitors to reconnect with the galleries one may expect at the fair, while also discovering the new and unexpected.”

Of the nearly 50 exhibitors in the far, newcomers include Achille Salvagni Atelier, bo Design Group, Guy Regal NYC, Mercado Moderno, Mia Karlova Galerie, Salon Design, Spazio Nobile, and Zeit Contemporary Art. They fall alongside familiar names like Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts, Cristina Grajales, David Gill Gallery, Donzella, Galerie Marcilhac, Karl Kemp, Liz O’Brien, Maison Gerard, Todd Merrill Studio, and Twenty First Gallery who are returning from previous years.

Microbeauty, Crystals, Copper, and Strings: Five Design Trends to Discover for 2024 Salon Art + Design is the town square at the center of the decorative and fine arts world. An inclusive and encompassing offering of curiosities beckons the seasoned collector just as much as the trend-oriented wanderer. We tracked down five works that are telling the story of what’s next.

Trend: Crystals

Inspiration: Large Hearts Chandelier at Maison Rapin

Large Hearts Chandelier (ca. 1980) by Robert Goossens. Image: Maison Rapin

At some point, crystals transitioned from a mystical no-go zone to a fixture in many a household. Often presented as roughly cut rocks and amulets, a recent Swarovski x Skims collaboration has further reinforced the presence of the crystal: intimately communicative, energetically potent, and inherently beautiful. Expect crystal to continue to emerge into the next year in new and refined ways.

In their journey from Paris, Maison Rapin brought along a cache of treasures by Robert Goossens, one of which was adorned in countless crystals. Perhaps most well known as a jewelry designer, Goossens’ work with Chanel marked a departure from the more delicate and refined jewelry of the time, opting for gilt metal, poured glass, and various gemstones to tell a story of whimsy and romance. Staged near a Kam Tin Black Octopus bench, a chandelier features countless heart-shaped rock crystals dangling from chains of gilded bronze and brass; bringing an unexpected humanity to otherwise hardcore materials.

Trend: Microbeauty

https://www.theinteriorreview.com/story/2023/11/13/microbeauty-crystals-bricks-and-strings-fivedesign-trends-to-discover-for-2024

Inspiration: variety of objects at Abask

As we go into 2024, we cannot expect minimalism to evaporate, but many are tempted by the accessible comforts of what we’re coining microbeauty: small doses of personalization and fractal-like expressions of self which can freely exist in otherwise minimal spaces. These are best articulated not through art and furniture, but through the highly designed ephemera of home- glassware, games, trinkets, objets, and more. Handheld goodies meant to function can now form the space.

Abask, making its debut at Salon Art + Design, is an online platform offering a vast selection of unique items designed and crafted by artisans around the world. Beyond their beautiful curation, Abask has close relationships with their artisans. For Salon Art + Design, Abask commissioned no less than fifty new pieces for the event.

Reinforcing the principles of equity, artisans are compensated for full production orders, not on commission. This https://www.theinteriorreview.com/story/2023/11/13/microbeauty-crystals-bricks-and-strings-fivedesign-trends-to-discover-for-2024

facts allows an artisan to be free of anything that might compromise creativity. The sense of discovery and charm was met with a feeling of sustainability. These items feel like keepsakes for a lifetime.

Trend: Copper Things

Inspiration: Fireplace Mantel at Galerie Mathivet

Fireplace mantel, circa 1900 by Carlo Bugatti. Image: Galerie Mathivet

Copper is among the “old fashioned” materials like brass and wood that are well-suited to respond to the hyperrefined tendencies of many materials. Blemish-free surfaces can be alienating. Hammered copper is among the most charming and regal of these old fashioned materials, where details can survive at scale and history feels inevitable. The mule mug is perhaps the most visible copper object in our world today, a thing of nearly medieval tone; communicating a convivial spirit impressed by history. Still, the appropriate application of copper is sparing— the occassional glint of metal to catch the eye. Copper is completely functional as a canvas for decoration:

https://www.theinteriorreview.com/story/2023/11/13/microbeauty-crystals-bricks-and-strings-fivedesign-trends-to-discover-for-2024

hammering, perforating, etching, and oxidizing. To that end, we can imagine copper once being extremely contemporary and cutting-edge; the subject of exciting exploration.

Cylindrically motivated but ensconced in symmetry, a fireplace mantel of Carlo Bugatti offered a comfortably rustic and “discovered” character with its use of copper. In practice, encountering this monumental mantle felt like wandering about a long-abandoned qasr in a sandy corner of Morocco or Algeria. Fantastical in its spirit and generally unpredictable, this work is characterized by Moorish, Gothic, and Oriental styles— I can imagine this mantel being a key component in pulling together a wildly eclectic room. In blackened wood inlaid with pewter, the work is finally brought to life with decorated discs of copper.

Trend: Bar Carts

Inspiration: Bespoke Bar Cart from Trunks Company

Bar Cabinet by Trunks Company. Image: Trunks Company

Often the mark of a good host, a stocked home bar is a sign of an obliging attendant and an enthusiastic custodian of hospitality. Fully stocked, a bar can be an extension of personality by way of what might be stored among its shelves and racks. What gin is that? The vodka is a special one… and is that an Alpine liqueur only to be drank in the dark belly of winter? No longer confined to what the drink of choice might be, the design of the bar itself has become a character in the story of one’s home. For example, my parent’s house has three bar all with very different personalities and demands. Each serve a different intention. An evolved interpretation of the bar cart has become the midnight bar, often contained as part of the primary suite of a house. This area offers a moment of simple refreshment or perhaps a bashful late night libation.

Now evolved with the talents of mobility and contained convenience suited to pied-à-terre or the spacemaximizing home, the bar cart has stepped in to play a leading role. To communicate a formal elegance or an easygoing free-for-all, it is this question that can be answered with the right bar cart. Trunks Company has long maintained a perfect balance of both with its completely bespoke range of bar trunks and cabinets. These acrobatic

https://www.theinteriorreview.com/story/2023/11/13/microbeauty-crystals-bricks-and-strings-fivedesign-trends-to-discover-for-2024

cupboards offer vast accommodations that can be customized to suit, featuring all glassware required to host a reflective midnight sip or a grand celebration.

Trend: Translucent Things

Inspiration: Lamp at Charles Burnand Gallery

https://www.theinteriorreview.com/story/2023/11/13/microbeauty-crystals-bricks-and-strings-fivedesign-trends-to-discover-for-2024

A new creation from 2023, Agathe Labaye and Florian Sumi’s Colonne Noailles is a landmark contribution to humanity’s paradoxical fascination with visibility and concealment. Along with that, an examination of plastic as a practical and beautiful material has enthralled mass-market producers and artisans alike (albeit, for very different reasons). Colonne Noailles, crafted from metal and stained acrylic and offers two movable elements, revisits this interesting story and reinvigorates a dialogue around movable architectural elements. Despite its implied transparency, it communicates on a grand scale. This limited edition work, one of only three, embodies a captivating interplay of materials and light.

While the lamp is a showcase of a harmonious blending of innovation and craftsmanship in the realm of contemporary sculpture, we can expect more exciting developments to come from this fresh understanding of clarity and layered light. Some items within this category have transcended the concept of trend, like the Louis Ghost Armchair (2002), a postmodern triumph of technical innovation and historical style. Clear things can respond directly to their environments in a wholly unique way, offering optical interest as well as functional value within itself.

Critically-acclaimed exhibition Feeding Consciousness by leading digital artist Dominic Harris opens at New York’s Salon Art + Design fair

By WRITTEN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SARAH BRIDGE

Halcyon Gallery exhibits for the first time at Salon with British artist Harris at a time when art auctions and exhibitions reach a peak in NYC

https://www.villagevoice.com/critically-acclaimed-exhibition-feeding-consciousness-by-leading-digitalartist-dominic-harris-opens-at-new-yorks-salon-art-design-fair/

Leading British digital artist Dominic Harris has opened his Feeding Consciousness exhibition at Salon Art + Design in New York, one of the most influential collectible design and art fairs.

Featuring 50 exceptional exhibitors from around the world, Salon Art + Design presents leading vintage and contemporary designers and artists to collectors and is timed to coincide with the peak art auction and exhibition season in New York City.

London-based Halcyon Gallery is making its debut at Salon Art + Design this year and chose to feature Feeding Consciousness after the exhibition’s hugely successful run at its Mayfair gallery this summer.

Kate Brown, Creative Director at Halcyon Gallery, said: “It’s a pivotal time in the art scene in New York with the November auctions and the major exhibitions, there’s so much happening here which makes it a great time to be showcasing Dominic’s work. Some of the pieces in the exhibition are really going to cause a stir, such as Limitless, which reveals the performance of financial systems in a live data feed of Nasdaq, and Feeding Consciousness, a minute-by-minute live feed of trending topics on Google – they’re both unique. The data-led artworks are geospecific and incredibly topical. Artists have for generations been a mouthpiece for what’s happening in society and right now it’s a critical tool. Dominic is visualising this right at it’s happening, and it’s so appropriate that he’s doing this at a visual design fair.”

Visitors to Halcyon Gallery’s exhibition space at Salon Art + Design will be invited to explore Harris’s intricately created worlds, from the financial markets and online news revealed in Limitless and Feeding Consciousness, to the natural environment and even the mythical worlds of the Gods of Olympus, all brought to life using Harris’ unique, immersive and interactive methods.

Feeding Consciousness itself, which gave its name to the exhibition, is a 10-foot digital sculpture inspired by the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel. Harnessing Artificial Intelligence and datasets, the artwork acts as a feed of the country’s collective consciousness, presenting the top five trending subjects on Google’s search engine. The topics dominating the communal psyche are splashed across the tower’s 180 LCD screens and accompanying split-flap Solari display.

Says Kate Brown: “New York has always been somewhere where it’s important for artists to be showcased, and the Salon is a fitting choice because Dominic’s art is so relevant here. Everything he creates is designed so perfectly, from the physical and digital infrastructure to the story-telling of the finished piece. Dominic is an architect by training and a visual artist who is using architectural disciplines and deep-seated historical narratives, but someone who has created live works which operates to movements, gestures, touch. They’re very much of the present and that’s what people are demanding at the moment – the ability to engage.”

She adds: “Design and craft is an important part of artmaking and it’s really exciting to see digital art among the best in class across so many disciplines at Salon, whether it’s ceramics, jewellery, furniture and classic or contemporary artworks. It’s a fitting showcase for Dominic as an artist and an exciting opportunity to bring this incredibly successful show we opened in London, at this very important time in the New York art world. Digital artists are on the cutting-edge of design and this is going to open the door to new audiences and new collectors.

It’s a great opportunity.”

https://www.villagevoice.com/critically-acclaimed-exhibition-feeding-consciousness-by-leading-digitalartist-dominic-harris-opens-at-new-yorks-salon-art-design-fair/

Harris’s connection with Halcyon Gallery goes back several years, launching his first exhibition with the gallery in 2019. The exhibition, titled Imagine, featured an immersive and retrospective display of Harris’ work in the largest single exhibition of his pieces to date and included iconic works such as the butterflies of Flutter Wall, one of his earlier works which first propelled Harris into prominence in the art world.

Drawing inspiration from art history, classical texts, pop art, Victorian inventions, nature and everyday icons, Harris’s works have caught the eye of collectors including McLaren’s Ron Dennis, Google’s Eric Schmidt and billionaire philanthropist Leonard Lauder, and his distinctive artworks have graced such diverse locations as Heathrow Airport, Tower Bridge and a Norwegian cruise ship.

Harris’ visual inventions have been digitally painted by hand through a process that is comparable to traditional oil painting, though his use of technology as a means to produce movement and interaction, creates an immediacy with the viewer that no ordinary still life ever could.

Said Harris: “The artworks I create are about interactive storytelling. By using technology in ways that were previously impossible, I draw the viewer in to become immersed in the artwork. The ultimate objective is to stimulate the viewer to feel more deeply, and in doing so to reveal something about themselves.”

Salon Art + Design takes place at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from 9 – 13 November, 2023.

Featuring 50 exceptional exhibitors from around the world, Salon presents leading design, vintage to modern and contemporary and blue-chip 20th-century art. The fair presents an array of material from furniture, studio glass and ceramics, to Japanese art and jewellery.

THIS FAIR CITY New York is the metropolis gearing up to host this year’s Salon Art and Design festival, which is set to represent the debut there of a number of illustrious names in the design world. Ahead of Salon’s launch on 9 November, we’ve rounded up some of the makers and curators we’re keen to see make their mark on Manhattan

Salon Art and Design’s 12th edition is soon to hit New York, promising an international exhibitor list, an vibrant range of design exhibitions within the historic rooms of Park Avenue Armory, as well as an extensive programme of conversations and panel discussions. Ahead of the event series, we’ve selected the highlights not to be missed.

Abask

https://www.worldofinteriors.com/story/salon-nyc-2023

Abask will make its debut at Salon on the Drill Hall floor, spotlighting pieces from world-renowned makers that showcase masterful design and craftsmanship. Founded by Tom Chapman and Nicolas Pickaerts, the platform connects people to exquisite design objects, championing both innovation and time-honed techniques. From contemporary pieces to reissued works from design archives, Abask has tapped into over 100 makers and their one-of-a-kind works to make up this year’s ample offering.

Cox London

Salon will see Cox London unfurl its singular selection of artisanal lighting, furniture and artworks – a showing which constitutes the brand’s New York debut. Specialist duo Nicola and Christopher Cox are also responsible for the statuesque chandelier which hangs in the entrance of the fair’s venue: a dramatic, ashen presence forged in iron with delicate cotton Magnolia blooms. ‘The chandelier is inspired by nature but with fantastical elements,’ Christopher explains. ‘Our aim is to create natural forms of interior beauty – designs that stir the nature within us through form, finish and patina.’

Silvia Furmanovich

https://www.worldofinteriors.com/story/salon-nyc-2023

Born in São Paulo to a line of Italian goldsmiths, Silvia Furmanovich first made a name for herself in fine jewellery, garnering a reputation for her vibrant hues, unusual materials and wood marquetry, before turning her attention to the home. This year in Salon’s Drill Hall, Silvia’s eponymous family-run brand will debut its ‘East/West’ collection, inspired by a trip the founder took through Japan. The range honours the design traditions she encountered on her journey, marrying traditional Japanese motifs with the brand’s signature marquetry methods, which come courtesy of artisans in the Amazon rainforest.

M. Fisher Studio

https://www.worldofinteriors.com/story/salon-nyc-2023

M. Fisher Studio’s Matthew Fisher will be launching a new collection at the fair this year – one a year in the making.

Worth the wait, each of the ‘Elegy’ furnishings and lighting fixtures is hewn from Brazilian quartzites or Middle Eastern onyx, supported by or suspended from dark bronze and burnished silver metalwork. The collection is indeed an elegiac response – conceived during the founder’s recent trip to Italy’s Volterra – to the richly carved reliefs and artefacts of the Museo Etrusco Guarnacci.

The Spaceless Gallery

https://www.worldofinteriors.com/story/salon-nyc-2023

Famed for their innovative fusion of art and technology, Swedish timepiece studio Humans Since 1982 will present A Million Times 120 – a kinetic installation that blends time and movement through meticulously synchronised clock hands – at the Spaceless Gallery’s outpost in Salon’s South Hall. The gallery will also present the works of international artists such as Pierre Bonnefille, Ruan Hoffmann and Olga Sabko as part of a broader showcase of pioneering art and design that collectors, curators and enthusiasts alike will revel in.

Charles Zana Mobilier

https://www.worldofinteriors.com/story/salon-nyc-2023

The furniture offshoot of Charles Zana’s brand, Charles Zana Mobilier defines its style by a modernity of mood informed and mediated by French tradition. Charles’s proportions, materials and finishings are always meticulously considered in his designs, which are then executed by craftsmen who have honed their skills over generations. Presenting at Salon for the second time, this year’s showing will comprise coffee tables, a desk, chairs, a headboard and lights – all conceived in line with Charles’s distinctive decoration principles.

Salon Art and Design runs from 9–13 November 2023 at Park Avenue Armory, New York. For more information, visit thesalonny.com

Salon Art + Design

By Staff Writer The iconic Park Avenue Armory is home again to the highly anticipated annual celebration of art and design in New York City, ongoing until Nov 13. The Salon Art + Design, produced by Sanford Smith and Associates, includes some of the most unique and rare designs ranging from vintage, modern to contemporary works of art from around the world. Some new, some sourced from family estates of by gone era. The fall art season certainly doesn’t disappoint! There’s something for everyone! The opening night on Nov 8, saw record sales and high attendance. Art aficionados and luminaries traveled far and wide to take in the opening.

I’m particularly intrigued by the classic craftsmanship of Trunks Company’s mobile wet bars cleverly designed in steaming trunk style. Expertedly handcrafted in Jaipur, India, the emerging brand has been well received worldwide and now aims to draw in the much coveted American market. Judging by the attention the company received in the few minutes I was there on opening night, it’s definitely off to a good start.

Preview the images below, some of which are my favorite picks. A highlight video reel is available on instagram and Facebook. Salon Art + Design exhibition is running until Nov 13.

Design Site Abask Launches Its First IRL Experience This Week in New York

By Chloe Schama

Tom Chapman, the co-founder of MatchesFashion, has a friend who throws what he deems the best pizza parties in America. So when this friend’s birthday came around, the entrepreneur knew what to give him: a handforged Ben Bodman pizza wheel made with Damascus steel. “The best pizza cutter for the best pizza-maker,” he tells me when we chat in Chapman’s hometown of London. This is Chapman’s philosophy when it comes to gifting—you have to know the person, and you have to think hard about what will make them very happy.

But finding the thing shouldn’t be so hard. Sources for “smalls,” those items that are essential to turn a house into a home, can be maddeningly decentralized.

https://www.vogue.com/article/abask-salon-design-fair-new-products

In the short year since it launched in December 2022, Abask—the name comes from the idea of luxuriating in the sun—has become one of the most delightful (and efficient) places to source items from 70 different countries. You can select something and receive it on your doorstep two days later, anywhere in the world. “It's creating the fashion experience that everyone is used to now online, and doing it with design,” says Chapman.

This November, Chapman and his co-founder Nicolas Pickaerts ventured into a more tangible space at the Salon Art + Design in Manhattan, which also served as the launchpad for 60 entirely new products, produced by and for Abask and available online after the fair. For the display, Chapman and his collaborators shipped in some 600 items, he tells me, sipping water from an elegantly off-kilter tumbler made by a glass company run by the daughters of Venetian glass artist Massimo Micheluzzi. (The typical Salon display, which admittedly often includes largerscale furniture, might have some 20 items.)

The new offerings range from a one-of-a-kind Alexander Kirkeby hand-blown candelabra that looks like something Dr. Seuss might have designed if he worked in sparkling crystal to a jewelry box from Brazilian artist Silvia Furmanovich inspired by her travels through Uzbekistan to hand-painted crystal stemware from the Bavarian glassmakers Theresienthal—onetime favorites of the Russian tsars.

With all his delight in the colors and texture of his items, I am curious if he desires to set up a more permanent space where people can judge the heft of the pizza knives and delicacy of the drinkware carafes for themselves. He demurs, but doesn’t reject the possibility. “Retail is in my blood,” he tells me, “I just want to put myself in front of people and understand what they are engaging with.”

Salon Art + Design, takes place at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from November 9 - 13, 2023.

way that’s really empowering.” Not for nothing do many of Sandy Liang’s fiercely devoted employees get tiny bow tattoos proclaiming their dedication.

Bows, in fact, have been used for centuries as a kind of nonverbal language. French revolutionaries pinned cockades to their clothes; suffragettes slung purple-​and-​ green sashlike ribbons across their chests. Renaissance men would drape a lock of hair over their heart and tie a ribbon around the end to signify they had been claimed, explains fashion historian Serena Dyer. In 1944, Life magazine published a girl’s guide to communicating through ribbons: A bow on top of the head meant that the wearer was “out to get herself a man,” whereas yellow was the province of man-haters.

It’s only relatively recently that ribbons and bows became a symbol of girlhood. They have been around since the Middle Ages, says Dyer, but “prior to the 18th century, ribbons were primarily a part of menswear”—used to tie doublets to men’s hose and fasten sleeves to their shirts.

With the invention of the power loom in the 1700s, ribbons became “far more easy to produce, far more widely used,” she says. Meanwhile, men’s clothing was increasingly associated with tailoring and muted colors and women’s with ornamentation. Upper-class women might buy expensive, sculptural bows, but “even a working girl could get a new ribbon and change it on her hair or on her dress,” says textile historian Natalie Nudell. “You didn’t need to be elite to participate.”

That’s true today, too, of course, explaining part of the revived appeal: You can buy a $128 Jennifer Behr velvet bow barrette—​or you can recycle a ribbon from a floral arrangement. Even celebrity stylists sometimes source their bows for free. On one recent photo shoot, hairstylist Evanie Frausto wanted to create “something big, sexy, and ’60s” for pop star Kim Petras. He wasn’t sure what to do—but then he spotted a Celine shopping bag on the floor. He cut off the handle and tied a bow in Petras’s hair. “It was perfect,” he says. @

Salon Art + Design 2023: highlights from New York’s leading collectible design fair Here are the Wallpaper* highlights from Salon Art + Design 2023, held at New York’s Park Avenue Armory, 9 – 13 November

By Adrian Madlener

Anchoring New York’s fall cultural calendar is Salon Art + Design, the city’s premiere collectibles fair. Returning to the storied Park Avenue Armory from 9 to 13 November 2023, this year’s edition – its 12th – places emphasis on contemporary and vintage works in equal measure.

Joining long-time exhibitors like Cristina Grajales, David Gill Gallery, and Todd Merrill Studio are newcomers (especially from abroad) such as Achille Salvagni Atelier, Bo Design Group, and Rosior. A number of independent

https://www.wallpaper.com/design-interiors/dolce-and-gabbana-casa-collection-london

producers and brands have also programmed special displays. They include Charles Zana Mobilier, Humans Since 1982, and Mathieu Lehanneur, among a slew of leading luxury platforms.

In keeping with the new trend of bringing in more than just furnishings, fine art, and jewellery, the fair is now also playing host to galleries and online marketplaces that purvey different object typologies, everything from meticulously crafted game sets to bespoke kitchenware. It’s a sign of the collectible art and design industry’s continued growth and stratification, especially when it comes to facilitating a wider range of price points.

Here, we identify our highlights of the best showcased designs from an array of gallery, brand, and independent exhibitors making a splash at the fair.

Presented as part of London’s Charles Burnand Gallery’s ‘SUPER, NATURAL’ exhibit, Paris-based design duo Labaye Sumi will debut their Colonne Noailles floor lamp to the US market. The architecturally-inspired, semitranslucent, sculptural luminaire is an homage to the column in the Salon Rose at the Mallet Stevens-designed Villa Noailles on the Côte d’Azur. The monumental composition comprises a tall stained acrylic orange-hued cylinder and a moveable ring cast in violet. Mounted together and illuminated with refracted light, the two emit a pink tone.

Developed by New York-based Romanian architect Crina Arghirescu Rogard and Paris-based emerging talent Hugo Besnier, under his furniture label Hartis, the Neo-Narcissist mirror incorporates layers of leather and suede feathers mounted to a mirror-glass base. On view with Los Angeles and New York-based up-and-coming gallery GARDE, the expressive work evokes the seminal ancient Greek myth of Narcissus. The meticulously-crafted ‘wing’ works to playfully elevate one’s reflection and perception of themselves.

New Delhi and New York-based furniture producer DeMuro Das relies on its ability to translate age-old Indian craft traditions in contemporary design that often nod back to mid century modernism. The highly-sought after boutique producer chose this year’s Salon Art + Design to debut the new Tempest Side Table collection: a masterfully fabricated fusing of inlaid stone marquetry and metal casting; achieved on an impressive scale.

Displayed with New York’s preeminent purveyor of contemporary French design Twenty First Gallery, Nathalie Ziegler’s Pink Glass Chandelier perfectly demonstrates her career-defying exploration of collaged, almost pixelated blown glass. Her suspended sculptures illuminate as chandeliers. She often collaborates with expert artisans at heritage glassworks Verrerie de Saint-Just, pushing their age-old techniques and making them relevant in new ways.

Glass is an ancient material and craft that continues to fascinate designers and collectors. As part of Salon Art+Design special brand collaboration this year, London-based producer WonderGlass is highlighting some of its most iconic collections developed using tried and true Venetian techniques. Paris-based talent Dan Yeffet’s Bouchon side tables take pride of place. Cast in silvery blue, these minimalist coil-like furnishings evoke the materiality and viscerality of cork.

Sten Studio’s Totem, Tuleste Factory, New York sculpture

Mexico City-based Sten Studio is showcasing its brand new Totem work with the effant terrible of New York design Tuleste Factory. The decorative sculpture serves a sampler of different sumptuous materials hewn in graphically distinct yet connected components. Though restrained and referential to a variety of architectural styles, the work is ultimately an homage to the natural world.

Matthew Fisher’s Elegy Table, M.Fisher, New York

New York-based talent Matthew Fisher has made a name for himself by distilling the formal and textural qualities of the ancient world in contemporary accessories and furniture designs. The new Elegy collection takes that exploration a step further. As evident in the table piece, Fisher explored the almost naturalistic transformation of stone, one that isn’t always rectilinear or symmetrical but much more raw, organic, and even molten in nature.

Kelvin LaVerne's Chinois Cabinet, Lobel Modern, New York

https://www.wallpaper.com/design-interiors/dolce-and-gabbana-casa-collection-london

Salon Art + Design does a good job of blending contemporary and vintage works. Celebrated purveyors of hardto-find antiques like New York’s Lobel Modern often choose this fair to unveil their rarest finds. Case in point: Kelvin LaVerne's Chinois Cabinet. During the early 20th-century the master craftsman and his son were famous for implementing age-old techniques such as patinated bronze and pewter in incredibly intricate relief patterns and allegorical depictions. The particularly unique 4-door console is testament to both.

Chapter Studio's Gol Console, Galerie Philia, Geneva, New York, Mexico City and Singapor

Global platform Galerie Philia took the collectible world by storm a few years back with its uniquely contextual exhibition programme – staging thematic, commissioned-based, shows everywhere from luxury New York penthouses to disused Milanese chapels. Entering the fair scene this fall is the next step in its meroic rise. Galerie Philia’s Reflect exhibition at this year’s Salon Art + Design highlights key works from some of its most tried and true talents. Intersecting geometric and organic components hewn in materials like rare marble and granite, Chapter Studio's Gol Console is as much an evocation of heritage as it is the cosmos.

https://www.wallpaper.com/design-interiors/dolce-and-gabbana-casa-collection-london

(Image credit: Courtesy Salon Design) Salon Design, New York’s latest gallery and a platform that champions artisanal experimental in unparalleled ways, is making its debut at the fair.

Brussels-based Spazio Nobile prides itself on showcasing artists and designers that engage in contemporary interpretations of what was historically coined as the applied arts; the intersection of art, design, and craft. In true Belgian ‘experimental’ fashion, celebrated ceramicist Piet Stockmans has made a name for himself pushing the limits of the medium. His Wilde Stippen wall-mounted installation utilizes expressively-form stripes of porcelain to evoke the movement of grass in the wind.

Dutch artist Barbara Nanning works in both ceramics and glass, and even sometimes both simultaneously. Her ability to translate the organic and inorganic elements of nature in refined forms is unparalleled. On view with Salon Art + Design stalwart exhibitor J. Lohmann Gallery, The Verre églomisé VII vessel stems from a process that incorporates everything from hand blowing and forming to sandblasting techniques.

The Best of Salon Art and Design 2023

By Hannah Martin

What We Saw at Salon Art + Design

Returning for its 12th edition, Salon Art + Design last week once again injected New York’s historic Park Avenue Armory with collectible works from over 50 international exhibitors. A mix of presentations from leading art and design galleries flowed throughout the venue’s intricate, Gilded Age reception rooms and onto the sprawling floor of the former Drill Hall. Sprinkled throughout the space, Salon introduced a new series of special design and jewelry exhibitions, which ranged from exclusive capsule collections from individual designers to smaller curations from galleries. Of the diverse mix of blue-chip artwork and vintage, modern, and contemporary design presented, we’re sharing a few of our favorite moments from Salon Art + Design 2023. https://whitewall.art/film/the-best-of-salon-art-and-design-2023-2/

Charles Burnand Gallery at Salon Art + Design: “SUPER, NATURAL”

A sinuous paneled wall creates an elegant backdrop for over 30 new works presented by the Londonbased Charles Burnand Gallery. For the gallery’s fourth Salon appearance, the curation was intended to elicit the feel of a private home or apartment. Among the predominantly soft, curving furnishings, a monumental acrylic floor lamp from Labaye Sumi steals the show. Titled Noailles Column, the chromatic lamp is an edition of three and can be adjusted by moving the suspended cylindrical shades along its central pillar.

Black walls and sleek lilac seating from New York- and Mexico Citybased designer Mark Grattan complemented the Tribeca gallery’s predominantly chrome offerings. Lining the walls were three breathtaking hangings by Tim Horn. The nickel-plated bronze and mirrored glass works were inspired by vintage jewelry and speak to the trending resurgence of decoration in design.

For their Salon debut, New Delhi and New York-based design studio Demuro Das introduced the Badal, Clarion, and Tempest collections. Set against a moody black backdrop, intended to evoke the gritty process of sand casting, the presentation of tables experiments with a range of semi-precious stones, metal casting, and stone marquetry techniques seldom seen in furniture. Each piece is manufactured in the studio’s New Delhi factory by specialized artisans whose knowledge of handicrafts has been passed down for generations.

Galerie Philia Brings “Reflect” to Salon Art + Design

First-time exhibitor Galerie Philia opted for a sparse booth, releasing the following poignant statement:

“Philia is a call for virtue.

Philia is the deep care and affection between equals.

Philia is, in Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics, the highest form of friendship.

Never again is now.

We decided to empty our booth and offer a physical and mental space to reflect.

Dialogue and mutual understanding is the only way.

Coexistence is the only way.

Peace is the only way.”

The international gallery had been poised to present Philia Classics Revisited, a limited-edition collection from eleven designers, reimagining the gallery’s most iconic pieces in travertine. Instead, Reflect, includes only five works from designers Cédric Breisacher, Elsa Foulon, Phillip Jividen, Morghen, and William Guillon.

London-based fine arts purveyor Halcyon Gallery made its splashy Salon debut with an exhibition from interactive digital artist, Dominic Harris. After a hugely successful debut at Halcyon’s Mayfair gallery earlier this year, Feeding Consciousness is a series of works combining AI, code, machine learning, 3D sensors and other digital art technology. At its center, a ten-foot tower, inspired by the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel, displays, in real-time, the highest trending topics on Google’s UK search engine. Composed of 180 LCD screens, the piece is intended to represent the “country’s collective consciousness.”

ABASK to close First Year with Exclusive Interior Design Collaborations, Activations As former Matchesfashion founder and e-commerce director Tom Chapman and Nicolas Pickaerts approach their site's one-year anniversary, the aim is to become the sharpest design objects and gifts shopping game in town.

MILAN — When talking to Matchesfashion founder Tom Chapman and Nicolas Pickaerts, its former e-commerce director, one gets the feeling the duo is having a lot of fun outside the frenetic world of fashion.

https://wwd.com/home-design/shop-home/ultra-rich-habits-driving-floating-galleriesluxury-yachts-1235751468/

Just nine months into its first year, their latest project, London based online shopping destination ABASK, is gearing up for design-forward activations. This fall they will launch a series of collaborations with interiors designers — kicking off with globally recognized interior design expert Pamela Shamshiri of Los Angeles’ Studio Shamshiri.

In an interview with WWD, Pickaerts said the company will debut a line of cashmere blankets, and a portion of proceeds will go to a charity of Shamshiri’s choosing.

Pickaerts and Chapman are working together to make beautifying the home a fun, seamless experience. Given their logistical expertise, they make it possible consumers worldwide to shop their home design objects and gifts with the guarantee that each item will be shipped in 48 to 72 hours no matter where one is in the 165 countries where the e-commerce site is available.

Chapman has already worked with Studio Shamshiri on decorating his own estate, a process he said that opened his eyes to the inviting world of design.

“I was working on a home design project in the States, and was relentlessly searching for objects, design pieces and accessories for the space. It was then that I realized how exhausting it is to try and source beautiful objects that also have an interesting story you can connect to and of course an aesthetic that aligns with your vision. Very quickly, I realized that I wanted to fill this gap in the marketplace, and thus ABASK was created,” he said.

Tableware by Emilia Wickstead

https://wwd.com/home-design/shop-home/ultra-rich-habits-driving-floating-galleriesluxury-yachts-1235751468/

ABASK is set up in a way that allows visitors to explore and discover new makers, peruse pieces that will hopefully become forever heirlooms in their home, or find the perfect gift for a loved one — or that person we all inevitably know who has everything, they said.

The site taps into some of the best brands in the design world — silent luxury names like Loretta Caponi for table linens, Venini’s Venetian glassware, Laboratorio Paravicini plates, Lucas Castex’s oiled walnut serving boards made exclusively for ABASK, games by Linley and hand-carved pieces by Qäsa Qäsa Carvers, a firm that preserves and financially supports the skills of Tanzania’s Makonde tribe.

Most recently, they launched a special one-of-a-kind collection with fashion designer Emilia Wickstead, with whom Chapman has a long relationship stemming from his time in the fashion space. They produced an exclusive collection of table linens with Wickstead in two different prints that were further expanded into an exclusive collection of dinnerware, flatware and glassware.

“At ABASK, we very much respect her as a designer — both in fashion and interiors. We especially love the wonderful prints she produces which have this beautiful femininity and lightness of touch about them,” Chapman said.

Early on, other exclusive collaborations set the pace, such as the limited-edition Z.d.G. by Zoë de Givenchy tableware made in the same ateliers as her uncle-in-law, Hubert de Givenchy, made his original faience sets — yet another great story.

ABASK, which derives from the British English word that means to bask in sunlight, was chosen as the brand name to shine a spotlight on the craft and passion that goes into each piece. It is also perhaps a metaphor for an epiphany the two fashion veterans had when they made the crossover from fashion to design, a welcome change.

“I came from the world of fashion, which is a roller coaster with constantly packed schedules, daily appointments and fast turnaround times to meet the demands of fashion’s frenetic timelines and deadlines. Though once I transitioned into the design space, I felt refreshed,” Chapman reminisced.

One of their first experiences with ABASK was a trip to Vienna to visit the workshop of bookshelf maker Carl Auböck — whose pieces are also available on ABASK. The two fell in love with the discovery and potential for storytelling each piece offers. https://wwd.com/home-design/shop-home/ultra-rich-habits-driving-floating-galleriesluxury-yachts-1235751468/

From the beginning ABASK sought to set itself apart, right from the landing page, with an assortment sorted into four design aesthetics — modernist, classic, minimalist and bohemian — and a by-room vertical with categories specifically for the Flower Room, the Bar Room, the Study and the Outdoors.

The latter surprised the two entrepreneurs: Outdoor as well as the Games Room are emerging as key sales drivers. An ebony game compendium by Agresti and handmade in Florence, as well as a vintage mahjong set from China circa 1920s, are among the one-of-akind curiosities the site offers.

Looking ahead, the team is exploring more physical activations in key markets following their presence at Salon Art + Design, a New York-based fair that features leading galleries in art, architecture and design. The firm is also constantly on the lookout for market gaps, as it did with games and antiques, that could be potential successes, Pickaerts said.

“We’re definitely interested in exploring the U.S. West Coast, the Middle East and Asia.

Another big focus for us will also be on collaborations with brands that are exclusive to ABASK and looking into strategic distribution partnership opportunities,” he added.

Salon + Art and Design is expanding into jewelry.

The New York-based art fair is introducing a dedicated jewelry section for the upcoming 12th edition of its annual event, which will take place from Nov. 9 to 13 at the Park Avenue Armory.

While the art fair has in the past showcased several jewelry brands and jewelers, this is the first year it will offer a dedicated section for the category to display vintage and unique pieces.

“One thing we’re looking to is making the show a little bit more, pun intended, sparkling,” said Jill Bokor, executive director of Salon Art + Design. “And just a refresh to what we’ve done with furniture, ceramics, lighting and non-

functional design. This is obviously new and something very specific. I think it’s going to be a great refresh for the fair.”

Some of the jewelers showcasing at this year’s fair include Yvel, Silvia Furmanovich, Didier Ltd., Rosior, DK Farnum and others. Most of the jewelers are displaying unique and vintage pieces from the early 20th century from independent jewelers as well as heritage labels like Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels.

“It broadens us in a very logical way that certainly well-designed jewelry is as much about design as furniture, ceramics or lighting,” Bokor said. “It’s a different craft that’s obviously working smaller, so it’s kind of nice when you’re walking through a fair that has lots of big pieces of furniture and to suddenly have your eye refreshed by works that are very small, very beautifully crafted, very colorful and very sophisticated — I think it broadens our appeal.”
