As in every year, I look forward to spending the first week of December at Design Miami/, the global event that brings together everyone in the design world: friends, colleagues, designers, gallerists, critics, and collectors. Everyone who loves design tries to be there. I want to take this opportunity and congratulate Jen Roberts, new CEO of Design Miami/. This year, I look forward to the entitled “Connoisseurship: Great Design Collectors, Then and Now,” where I will converse with Los-Angeles-based design historian David Netto about the history of collecting design, and about the cultural influence of design connoisseurs and tastemakers from the past and the present. I also look forward to seeing vintage and contemporary design, and here are couple of objects presented that I find particularly intriguing. On Thursday afternoon, I will give a tour, and if you happened to be at Design Miami/, please drop me a note and join me in viewing some of the Fair's highlights.
