June brings to Basel, Switzerland, a powerful force of creative energy, art aficionados, and collectors looking to expand their private collections. Art Basel<\/a>, with its unrivaled reputation as one of the world’s premier art fairs, has once again exceeded expectations at its 2023 edition. All together showcasing 284 galleries from 36 countries, creating breathtaking displays and larger than life installations. Meanwhile, Design Miami\/ Basel<\/a> brings the marriage of tradition and modern innovation to this year\u2019s theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A personal history with Art Basel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My first visit to the world-famous Basel art shows was 14 years ago with my husband, an art lover to his core. I was a novice in the intimidating world of art, and I vividly recall walking through the corridors in fear of not understanding what I was looking at. Terrified that one of the stiff gallerists dressed in mismatched Avant-garde pieces and vibrant-colored eyeglasses would ask my opinion on a piece. The walk alone was stressful, not to mention the art jargon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to 2023, and I continue to walk the halls of Art Basel not as an artist, dealer, or collector but as a critic of what moves me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for my furniture collection, Women move me. Their bodies inspire my designs, their emotions name my pieces, while their role in the world drives my mission to empower.  At this year\u2019s show, I was immediately drawn to thought-provoking female pieces at both Art Basel and Design Miami. I was touched on many levels, and every time I walked the show, a different emotion surfaced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could this mean I am on track to becoming part of the art world? Whatever my position or title is, I am now moved by art in its many forms, and I find myself being lured into pieces and becoming one with the message behind the artist\u2019s mind. The pieces below are just some of the most memorable and perhaps could be influential in my future designs for KOKET<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
