Berlin Design Selection 2013
Call for submissions to present Berlin design in Miami
Last station of the Berlin Design Selection Tour is Art Basel / Design Miami, which will take place from December 4th to 8th, 2013.
On behalf of the Landesinitiative Projekt Zukunft we invite all Berlin design studios, all designers and design producers to showcase their work on these important platforms in Miami.
Miami Design District is the design and arts zone of the US metropolis. Among others, many design brands have their residence here. A range of galleries and shops are going to present contemporary design within the context of offbeat installations and exhibitions.
Design Miami and the affiliated Miami Design District attract the most influential collectors, gallerists, designers and curators from around the world. The high end major event aims to combine an eye on culturally valuable design with the focus on designers’ commercial development possibilities. Specifically set up shuttle busses will provide a transport connection between the Design District and the main fair.
