At Design Miami's 20th edition, Paris-based architects and designers Berenice Curt and Caroline Duncan introduce the first chapter of Scenarii Édition, a new curatorial line extending their ongoing investigations within Berenice Curt Architecture. Presented in collaboration with The Spaceless Gallery, the debut features two pieces, the Tripodal chair and the Torii table. Both works rely on hand-polished stainless-steel frameworks, setting the stage for material experiments ranging from reclaimed wood to mycelium-grown textiles.

Alserkal, the Dubai-based cultural enterprise, and Design Miami will launch a new regional platform for collectible design in Dubai through a multi-year partnership, the two organizations announced Tuesday. The initiative-built around a flagship fair and year-round programming-will debut in early 2027 and marks Design Miami's first expansion into the Middle East. The collaboration brings together Alserkal's 15-year track record in developing Dubai's contemporary art and creative industries with Design Miami's two decades of convening top-tier galleries, designers, and collectors in Miami and Paris.

Phone chargers have become the most boring, forgettable tech accessories we own. Most people grab whatever generic white brick came in the box and call it a day, treating these essential tools like necessary evils rather than opportunities for personality or style. The charging market has prioritized function over form for so long that excitement died somewhere between efficiency ratings and safety certifications.

A modern twist on the brand's first signature single-use camera, the KODAK Fling, the device brings back the throwaway cameras from the 1980s, now able to save and transfer photos and videos using a USB-C cable and without using any film rolls. The compact and portable device functions as both a digital camera and a collectible item. It is so small that four of these can fit in the user's hand.
