The four sections
Four sections on stage. Starting from the central one, where the elite of the most important galleries on the planet parade: from the Parisian Galerie PatrickSeguin, which will offer an overview of the work of JeanRoyère, one of the greatest masters of 20th-century design, to the New York Friedman Benda, which will present legendary pieces by designers such as Wendell Castle, Verner Panton and nendo.
Environmental sustainability in this very large area is represented by the Charles Burnand Gallery in London, which honors futuristic thinking through works made with extraordinary materials.
The main exhibition includes a six-metre-high light installation created by Korean artist HeechanKim, composed of ash wood and copper wire, while other works reveal a limestone dining table designed by Steven John Clark and a cabinet made of wood, washi paper and urushi lacquer by Yanxiong Kim.
The Southern Guild Gallery of Cape Town and Los Angeles, meanwhile, will play its cards on contemporary African ceramics. The exhibition will include works by 12 artists who explore ceramics as a medium to reveal cultural, symbolic and historical evolutions.
On display, pieces by artists such as Andile Dyalvane, Ian Garrett and Zizipho Poswa, whose ceramic lamp was commissioned by Loewe, honoring the female heritage of her community.
And again: the Sarah Myerscough Gallery in London will tell collectors and enthusiasts about the importance of design in the bedroom.
Among the chosen projects, there will be the monumental wardrobe by Peter Marigold and the ethereal bed created by MarcFish: both will emphasize how furnishing objects can influence our well-being, our intimacy and, therefore, our state of mind.

Product story
Kustaa Saksi has reimagined one of Schjerfbeck’s self-portraits commenting on Schjerfbeck as a powerful, female, Finnish artist. Saksi’s image contains all of the spirit, wealth of pattern, texture and strength of colour typical of his work.
Saksi is interested in creating contemporary spaces, objects and atmospheres, building extraordinary worlds with playful, paradoxical, troubling yet inviting environments. He combines organic shapes and sensibilities with detailed textures, vivid colour palettes and experimental materials.
Each print is sold in a portfolio.
“Helene’s wearing a colourful cape, sort of a tribal outfit and face paint. I see her as a tribal leader; an iconic, strong woman.”
