Marking its 15th year as an Art Basel staple, Design Miami/ brings together a selection of the world’s most distinguished galleries and designer presentations to the floor of Messeplatz. This year, the fair followed an environmental and empathetic approach at the hands of Aric Chen, the fair’s curatorial director, who selected “Human Nature” as the overarching theme. Check out our favorite moments from the fair below.
Todd Merrill Studio unveils a breathtaking chandelier by the German sculptor before it takes permanent residence inside The Cortland, a residential building in Chelsea, New York. The nearly 30-foot-long lighting sculpture features interconnected bronze and onyx “vines” and “rings” embedded with LEDs, creating a sweeping landscape of radiant, sculpted illumination.
More than just driveways, motor courts contribute function and form to a residential landscape design by providing a stylish transition space for guests approaching the front of the building. A must-have for any development, they ensure security and convenience especially when heightened concerns of privacy is bubbling up over the years.
Mitsui Fudosan America and Newmark completed leasing transactions totaling 230,200 s/f at 1251 Avenue of the Americas. The building has maintained strong leasing momentum despite pandemic-induced tenant uncertainty that has stalled leasing activity in other parts of the city. The three transactions include Lowenstein Sandler for 125,700 s/f, Berenberg Capital Markets for 62,400 s/f and TCW for 44,100 s/f.
