"Celestial giants dot our night sky, impossibly heavy and yet seemingly weightless as they continue on their cosmic paths. Building on that sense of wonder, TF Design, founded by designer Tina Frey, unveiled the Orbit Collection in Bronze at Design Miami this year, translating celestial movement into sculptural form and grounding cosmic scale in tactile human-made objects. Originally released in colored resin at 3daysofdesign in 2023, this new take is inspired by balance and interconnectedness."
"Positioned within a broader dialogue on innovation, collectible design, and the convergence of art and function, the collection invited close inspection and contemplation. Arcs of reflective bronze meet in space, supported by a stabilizing plane that encircles the center. Fleeting glints of light recall the speckled expanses of the night sky, while generously scaled forms ripple with a steady, warping reflection - intentional, immersive, and quietly mesmerizing. Here, light, shadow, and space blur expectations, prompting introspection through form as much as function."
TF Design, founded by Tina Frey, unveiled the Orbit Collection in Bronze at Design Miami, translating celestial movement into tactile sculptural objects. Originally released in colored resin at 3daysofdesign in 2023, the bronze iteration emphasizes balance and interconnectedness and is polished by hand to highlight the organic surface of the cast. The release was part of Design Miami's 2.0 Exhibit, a museum-quality showcase commemorating the fair's 20th anniversary. Mirrored bronze surfaces offer literal and figurative reflection as viewers navigate around the forms. Generously scaled arcs meet on a stabilizing plane, producing steady, warping reflections that blur light, shadow, and space.
