The annual Design Fair’s maiden voyage to France focused on historical design and offered collectors with deep pockets the chance to take home some stunning—and rare—work.
Founded nearly 20 years ago in its namesake city, the Design Miami fair has expanded to an annual edition in Basel, Switzerland, and this week it opened its first iteration alongside the Paris+ art fair, with 27 galleries putting furniture, lighting, and other design objects in front of collectors.
While its other incarnations often emphasize daring work by contemporary designers, the Paris outing focused on showing historical pieces, including a few sought-after knockouts by 20th-century heavy hitters.
