Paris-based Galerie Meubles et Lumières earned the Best Gallery Presentation Award with a très chic installation of 1960s avant-garde French designs set within a dramatic black environment.

BEST CURIO PRESENTATION

Craft x Tech

This Tokyo-based initiative was launched last year with a laudable mission: preserving Japanese craft traditions by pairing expert regional artisans with international design talents to create extraordinary collectible designs at the intersection of past, present, and future.

Best Historical Design Object

Pratt Chair no.7 by Gaetano Pesce, presented by Pulp Galerie

To honor the design maestro’s contribution to history, a number of exhibitors have chosen to showcase his work—including Pulp Galerie, which dedicated its entire booth to objects from Pesce’s exhibition at Centre Pompidou in 1996.

Best Contemporary Design Object

Fire Opens Stone Bench by Samuel Ross, presented by Friedman Benda

This limited edition bench is part of Ross’s 2023 Course series, inspired by his experience as a child in the brutalist housing blocks of London’s Brixton neighborhood. The rough stone and concrete elements riff on the visual language of public architecture and play spaces.
