Overview
Material Shores at Design Miami
We are honoured to have been awarded the Best of Show for Best Gallery Presentation for Material Shores at Design Miami. 
 
‘Material shores’ captures the immediacy of the organic world we experience on an unworked shoreline: palettes of bleached gold, the grounding sensation of sunbaked sand and textured sightlines, and the sense of rhythm and the interconnectedness of all living and natural things. The presentation is an immersive curated collection of museum-quality functional design and art objects that champion innovative, sustainable and restorative design practices. 
 
Distinguished by a deep connection to the natural, our designers prioritise the inherent qualities and values of the materials themselves, retaining the meaningful and essential as they transform their raw material into cutting-edge design. The collection features critically acclaimed and revolutionary work crafted from sisal, rice straw, willow, grasses, and bleached, salvaged, foraged or ‘cleft’ wood. The centrepiece of our presentation is a commanding new work from Angela Damman. This eco-contemporary reimagining of the chandelier, hand-crafted from sansevieria plant fiber, combines opulence and luscious materiality with a touch of the absurd.
 
We will also present work from fiber artist Lin Fanglu, winner of the 2021 Loewe Craft Prize. She meticulously hand-knots, stitches and pleats her fabric into sculptural landscapes, at once geometric and organic. We will bring two blonde pups of sisal from Fernando Laposse, the celebrated hairy furniture pieces will delight alongside a sinuous 7 foot knot of rice straw from Mami Kato. Egeværk is crafting an installation of new masterpieces of Danish Ash to add to their ICE collection, exclusive to the gallery, and Ernst Gamperl will provide green-turned vessels of maple. 
 
The collection is a witty and playfully elegant challenge to the viewer to meet materials as themselves, to engage with the tactility, narrative and ethical provenance of the objects we surround ourselves with. Material Shores represents the mission of the gallery: to argue for a new approach to design, one steeped in respect for the natural world, that paves the way forward to a less destructive vision of the future. The objects we will show are imbued with heart, humour and hope, and present novel and alluring solutions to the pressing issues of the contemporary world.

...
 

The sleepy sound of a tea-time tide

Slaps at the rocks the sun has dried,

 

Too lazy, almost, to sink and lift

Round low peninsulas pink with thrift

 

The water, enlarging shells and sand,

Grows greener emerald out from land ... 

 

A Bay In Anglesey
