Design Miami has now become a not-to-be-missed event for the creative duo Draga & Aurel (aka Draga Obradovic and Aurel K. Basedow).
For the third year running, in partnership with Todd Merrill Studio, they’ll be presenting the results of another year of experimentation with materials, in search of original light and color influences, to the event’s eclectic audience.
Their new proposal, consisting of a family of lamps, a dining table, and a sideboard, complements and expands the Flare collection, which premiered last year, also in Miami.
Once again, their material of choice is Lucite, an acrylic resin that Draga & Aurel mold, assemble, gloss, and sculpt by hand, with the support of a team of Italian craft masters from Lake Como.
Draga & Aurel create furniture in which the line between art and design becomes increasingly thin: functional objects that don’t just enrich space with their aesthetic but also explore the complex relationship between light, color, and form, encouraging the observer to interact from various perspectives, just as they would when faced with a work of art.
The Ribbon lamps, the Flare table, and the Flare sideboard are produced exclusively for Todd Merrill Studio, a contemporary art and design gallery located in New York City (80 Lafayette Street), and are available for purchase worldwide.
