The appointments with Exhibitors

Draga & Aurel step into Visionnaire's Wunderkammer with an intertwined narrative: a play of role exchanges between art and design, where the power of colors and painterly gestures illuminates the walls, guiding the immersive journey among collectible design objects.

The Brazilian brand remains faithful to the Industrial Experimentalism. In 2024, the flagship piece is the Upholstery from the Origins Collection, merging past and future, craftsmanship and Artificial Intelligence. This theme has been a significant thread in recent collections: in 2020, the manual fabrics of the Lace Collection contrasted with the Big-data. Already in 2023, Ancestry explored the Future of the Past. The brand also preserves iconic pieces such as the K2 Amazon by the late master Alessandro Mendini, made with sustainable Brazilian woods, the Maid Chair by Slovenian Nika Zupank, produced using sugar cane injection, and the Skeleton Chair by Pedro Franco, made with injection from Brazilian Amazonian fruit seeds like açaí.

MASTERPIECES (AND TULIPS) is an exhibition that explores artistic expression through two unique lenses: the first being fine art, where renowned artists opt for oils and acrylics to create rich, expressive pieces in a number of ever-evolving styles. The second is the blossoming world of collectible design; whereby oils and acrylics are substituted for stone, wood and glass, which lend themselves to sculptural, physical objects that, to some, seem worlds apart from their wall-hung counterparts.
