Smart
Deco
Barry Friedman Ltd and Droog
Design are pleased to present Smart Deco, a period room of the 21st
century at Design Miami 2006, December 7-10, 2006.
Smart Deco represents an authentic expression reflecting the
zeitgeist of cutting-edge design, as well as timeless necessity. We live in
dynamic times in which boundaries are dissolved, and smart solutions are integrated with traditional styles, materials and techniques. It is a time
of craftsmanship, nostalgia, tradition and decoration, but it is also one
of globalization, technological innovation, and shifting aesthetics.
Cutting-edge design has come a long way from the premise of functionality.
Smart Deco intends to build a platform for designers creating art and
artists creating design. |

R20th
Century
R20th Century and Salon 94 presented works by Paula Hayes and Hugo
Franca during Design Miami/2006. The exhibition featured an installation
of new terrariums and planters by Hayes, as well as birdhouses from her
new Blue Bird series, alongside the organic designs of Franca.
Well-known for her use of ephemeral and organic mediums, Hayes explores
the notion of living plants as authored artworks with her glass
terrariums and biomorphic silicone planters where plants are
self-contained in unique hand-blown glass or silicone planters. |
