“The decision to present an event in Paris in October is a natural progression for Design Miami,” said Jennifer Roberts, CEO of Design Miami.
“With its roots in the past and an eye on the future, the city perfectly complements Design Miami’s mission to showcase the best in historic and contemporary collectable design.”
Art Basel and parent company MCH Group will launch a contemporary and modern art fair at the Grand Palais as part of the Art Basel event. The fair’s mission is to “build bridges with France’s cultural industries.”
Paris “has significant market value due to its historical significance in the decorative arts and its leading gallerists of contemporary and historic design,” the fair added.
Didero was to spearhead Design Miami’s “Golden Age” theme.

My multidisciplinary approach is entirely consistent with the fair’s mission to promote culture, talent, innovation, creativity, and education; it will be a challenge and an aspiration to explore new possibilities and boundaries, which I look forward to sharing with Design Miami’s global audience in 2022 under this year’s curatorial theme, “The Golden Age,” she added.
“The Golden Age is a concept that spans time and space and is shared by diverse cultures.” Whether projected onto a romanticised past or a utopian future, The Golden Age envisions a world at peace in which advances in the arts and technology result in unprecedented ease, cooperation, pleasure, and beauty; a time when every living creature on Earth coexists in harmony. “
A number of 2022 fairs have been postponed.

Numerous design events and trade shows have been forced to cancel or postpone events this year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but numerous events are still taking place as the industry adjusts to the new normal.
