Miami Design Week returned this month with the 2021 edition of Design Miami\/ alongside Art Basel Miami Beach<\/a> bringing art and design to the city. And while not to the level of pre-pandemic vibrancy, creativity definitely came to Miami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human\u2022Kind<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The theme for this year’s Design Miami\/ was “Human\u2022Kind through the lens of design”. Posing the questions\u2014what does it mean to be human in this world? And how can we become better stewards of nature and each other?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is a network of beings entangled with other beings. We are all interconnected and equality and inclusivity are essential. As such, Curatorial Director Wava Carpenter curated Human\u00b7Kind to spotlight design-led visions for a more equitable and interconnected future, one that is inclusive of BIPOC and LGBTQ communities, women, developing nations, displaced populations, disabled bodies, and life forms great and small.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow Land<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Outside the event center (seen above) and throughout the Miami Design District visitors to the fair encountered ‘Tomorrow Land’, a playfully designed series of sculptures, seating, and ornamentation. Created by Studio Proba<\/a> in her signature style and paired with an interactive virtual game by Enjoy the Weather<\/a>, the installation added a fun inviting vibe to Miami Design Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
