"Spiritually, Paris is a far cry from Silicon Valley. So you'd be forgiven if it's not the first destination that comes to mind regarding technological artistic advances. Accordingly, L'Hôtel de Maisons, an 18th-century manse and former residence of Karl Lagerfeld, may seem like an unlikely place for Cupertino, California-based Apple to launch an exhibit spotlighting emerging designers. But at the third edition of Design Miami/Paris, it's clear that technology is becoming an important-if not essential-tool for artists who are pushing the boundaries of creativity."
"Along with Primack, Design Miami CEO Jen Roberts and Apple Design Studio's Molly Anderson and Alan Dye helped decide the exhibition's lineup: Marco Campardo, Marie et Alexandre, Atelier Duyi Han, and Jolie Ngo. "Outside of creating beautiful objects, the featured designers share a curiosity for experimentation with materials and processes, blurring the line between digital design tools, traditional craftsmanship, and inventive production methods," Anderson tells AD. "The pieces achieve a distinct balance; feeling technical, modern, yet tactile and timeless.""
Designers of Tomorrow, a collaboration between Apple and Design Miami, will take place at L'Hôtel de Maisons in Paris from October 21 through 26. Rodman Primack curated the showcase with input from Design Miami and Apple Design Studio leaders, selecting Marco Campardo, Marie et Alexandre, Atelier Duyi Han, and Jolie Ngo from 21 candidates. A jury including Aric Chen, Faye Toogood, Sabine Marcelis, and others prioritized how technology enhanced each designer's process. The featured works emphasize experimentation with materials and processes, blending digital design tools, traditional craftsmanship, and inventive production methods to create pieces that feel technical, modern, tactile, and timeless.
