'Fragiles' at Design Miami

'Fragiles' is a showcase and sales exhibition of more than 200 design objects created from porcelain, glass and ceramics.     Tjep. Shock Proof Collection: Ikea Small Black Vase

'Fragiles' is an eclectic collection of contemporary porcelain, ceramic and glass objects by a new wave of designers who are manifesting their creative visions out of fragile materials. The exhibition presents innovative objects that expand and challenge our notion of these classical materials and traditions, simultaneously exploring a new aesthetic approach and technological boundaries. From experimental and avant-garde to evocative retro-inspired reinterpretations, these cutting-edge examples indicate how visual culture and high tech production processes are influencing and reshaping this delicate territory in pioneering ways.
The exhibition is curated and produced by Die Gestalten Verlag.

DGV asked Belgian designer Arne Quinze to create a series of glass objects exclusively for 'Fragiles'. Quinze chose Bavarian Kristallglasmanufaktur Theresienthal to produce them.

The following is a selection of the collection of work that is presented during Design Miami.

Exhibition from December 6 - 9th 2007
Marcy Building / 3852 N. Miami Avenue / Miami, Fl. 33137
