10 Fashion Chairs From Fendi, LV & Dior at Art Basel

Meant to look like they are “traveling in time, caught in motion.” I was told by an assistant at the Dior Medallion Chair project that Ma Yansong’s 3-D-printed chairs were the “It” chairs of Art Basel and Design Miami this year.

This year’s Art Basel saw a number of luxury fashion houses eager to show off their new … chairs? Chairs. Of course, high fashion’s fascination with furniture design isn’t exactly new. Rei Kawakubo started making (mostly nonfunctional) chairs in the ’80s, while Fendi launched Fendi Casa, an actually usable home collection, in 1988. Louis Vuitton and Hermès ventured into furniture some 30 years later, with the former inaugurating Objets Nomades — its furniture and design store — a year after Hermès debuted its first furniture collection at Milan’s design week in 2011. More recent years have seen the inception of Gucci Décor (2017) and Maison Dior (2019), the brands’ respective home-goods ventures, while Balenciaga and Miu Miu showed their own questionable furniture collaborations at Art Basel in 2019.

But back to these chairs. Yes, the pandemic led to substantial growth in sales of home furnishings, but even without that, the fashion world’s infatuation with our Sitzfleisch makes sense; fancy furniture has the same aspirational bent as fancy shoes, and if a brand can’t be on your body, surely it would like to be in your home, even if it’s not something you can actually sit on.

That was the case for quite a few of the chairs that fashion houses debuted at this year’s Art Basel and Design Miami, where Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Fendi revealed their latest experiments in furniture (or, one could argue, sculpture). Below, some of our favorite fashion chairs from this year’s events.

For its Medallion Chair project, Dior invited 17 artists to reinterpret its iconic Medallion Chair, an item that the house has typically used to seat guests at fashion shows. For his interpretation, Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka used layered acrylic for a chair that filters light like a chandelier.

At Design Miami, Fendi’s artistic director, Kim Jones, called upon the Botswana-based furniture brand Mabeo to curate the ten-piece installation “Kompa.” The pieces (including the Foro chair, pictured above) were all handmade by artisans across Botswana using old woodworking techniques to reinterpret the Italian brand’s history of distinct style.

Since 2012, Louis Vuitton has brought together renowned international designers to create furniture and objects for its design venture, Objets Nomades. Above is Marcel Wanders studio’s Petal Chair, which, according to a press release, features calf-leather cushions “in three special Miami colourways (light pistache, neon yellow, coral and cream).”

Korean artist Seungjin Yang describes his interpretation of Dior’s chair as “simple, unique, and fun.” Made of blown epoxy resin, an assistant at Dior’s gallery admitted that she nearly had to call security to prevent a guest from sitting on this piece, which definitely should not be sat on.

Mabeo’s Maduo chair is made in Botswana’s Mmankgodi village and takes inspiration from a piece of Fendi jewelry designed by Delfina Delettrez Fendi with its series of interlocking F shapes.

Objets Nomades debuted five pieces from Chinese designer Frank Chou. Above is his signature armchair, “inspired by terraced fields in China and desert rock formations in the USA.” Covered in Brio fabric, it’s the first Objets Nomades piece designed for exterior use.

My personal favorite, from French artist Pierre Charpin. To me, it recalls a compact mirror, but Charpin drew inspiration from the kinds of haute couture silhouette sketches that Dior uses in its clothing design.

Drawing from his Tswana heritage, Atang Tshikare’s work looks to beliefs and myths about the cosmos and Divinity. His interpretation for Dior is made in vegan tanned leather enhanced with constellations and beadwork in Bantu pictograms.

The Shiya seat, made of panga panga wood and plywood, from Mabeo’s collaboration with Fendi. On the whole, the collection is a departure from a history of the sleek, sexy furniture typical of the Italian brand.

A Moment of Timeless Beauty at Art Basel Miami

After a couple of years on pause, life is busy once again. Streets are bustling with anticipation and conversation. It’s easy to get caught up in a stream of events without taking a minute to appreciate the small, beautiful moments in life. The question is, how do we find the time to do so?

To create an ode to Switzerland’s majestic landscapes, serenity, and the sublime, the skincare brand La Prairie has collaborated with Taiwanese new media artist, choreographer, and dancer Wen-Chi Su to create an immersive and contemplative performance. On December 1st and 2nd, at sunrise and sunset, Su presented “Moving Towards the Horizon,” a stunning 10-minute performance embodying the encounter of light and water.

In her performance, created exclusively for La Prairie, Su brings Switzerland’s serene landscape to the Miami coast. The city’s oceanfront waves offered the ideal stage for the immersive outdoor installation. La Prairie and Su served as guides through a journey to discover a pure moment of beauty in nature. The goal was to encourage the audience to consider a pause for self-contemplation.

A perfect fusion of art and science

La Prairie’s pioneering approach to skincare intertwines creative intention and rigorous innovation to offer a perfect vision of timeless beauty. While art is often abstract, fluid, and influenced by the imagination, and science is exactingly precise, the two disciplines have more similarities than you would think. That is why Su’s alliance with La Prairie is a harmonious and instinctive meeting of minds. For Su, dance is an art form steeped in science and precision. Influenced by her residency with the prestigious Accelerate@CERN program, she highlights the common links between scientists and artists. “Art and science are not two separate notions. We are honest to each other’s methods, but both our goals are to create something beautiful.”

Su compares the scientific language of graphs, fractions, and calculations to the language of dance, with its reliance on the art of abstraction and the creation of “techniques, shapes, movements considering weight shift and energy control.” She believes research and imagination both aim “to create a common language of understanding.” The performance was a unique opportunity to experience the intersection of these two linguistic expressions.

Read our exclusive Q&A with Wen-Chi Su below.

La Prairie

On how she defines her work

“My work is about bringing two very different genres of art—performing art together with new media art—to facilitate and encourage a new process of thinking. By colliding these two worlds together, we trigger something new for the artists involved in the process but also a new experience for the audience.”

On how her dance interacts with new media

“New media is a new form of art which emerged about fifteen years ago. Dance has been present for millennia. Bringing a new form of art together with dance allows [one] to question the way the body interacts with the world.”

On what message she wants to convey through her art

“Through my works, I want to create moments of calmness and beauty so that people take a moment to step back from the hectic world to reflect on different aspects of life and its associated elements. This means focusing on the body itself and its connection with nature.”

On her collaboration with La Prairie

“When La Prairie approached me with an opportunity to work together, I appreciated the proposition of an exchange. I find my inspiration through true collaboration. Having a community like the one at La Prairie has been very enriching for me to conceptualize and create the experience around the theme of light and water.”

On how she brings these elements together on stage

“I was very much focused on translating the essential elements of light and water into a dance performance. The stage—the light, the sound, the choreography—all come together to recreate these moments where time and light flow.”

Discover her performance, “Moving Towards the Horizon”, at Art Basel in Miami Beach.

“Moving Towards The Horizon” is an ode to La Prairie’s upcoming launch, White Caviar Essence Extraordinaire, an exceptional essence that pushes the boundaries of science, inspired by the magical encounter of light and water and delivering a glimmering luminosity on the skin.

Troye Sivan’s Fans Helped Design His Miami Art Basel Stage

“If everything turns to shit, I’m gonna go run errands for Pamela Shamshiri,” joked Troye Sivan during his Miami Art Basel performance, referring to the interior design all-star whom he collaborated with on staging. It’s fitting, considering Sivan spent his lockdown living in Australia and renovating his Victorian-era Melbourne home alongside David Flack. (Reading nooks! apple tree centerpieces! the “most comfortable couch in the world!”)

For Architectural Digest‘s AD100 launch, the Aussie pop star was asked to work with Shamshiri and Lenovo Yoga to call upon fan submissions to bring his Art Basel installation to life. They sent in ideas for four categories — “Paradise on Earth,” “Technology and Progress,” “Living in the Moment,” “Beauty and Art” — and helped Sivan land on an original background for his acoustic South Beach set at The Goodtime Hotel.

This was Sivan’s second live show post-pandemic, following his opening slot for the 2021 VMAs, and his parents stood front-row, iPhones raised to document the entire thing with giant smiles. Sivan was openly nervous, which is fair considering the guest list included everyone from Pharrell to Venus Williams, but he confidently powered through an emotional set with songs like “could cry just thinking about you” and his summer smash, “You.”

Ahead of Art Basel, PAPER called up Sivan from his current home in LA to talk about pre-show anxiety, how COVID changed the way he approaches performance and why collaboration helps him get out of his own head.

How has your approach to live performances changed, especially after being forced to make the shift to all things virtual for so long?

I have a new level of gratitude for it. I really appreciate being able to sing for people in real life. At the same time, I got very comfortable, as well, with doing these virtual performances. They allow for creativity in a different way. Essentially, you’re producing music videos, so it takes away a lot of boundaries. But nothing can ever compete with the feeling of being in front of a real crowd. That interaction… it sounds so cheesy, but I got choked up [at the VMAs] the moment I remembered this is my job and my life. I think it had been so long, that it almost could’ve been one big fantasy or dream that I had. Now, I look back on photos of a show from my tour or maybe a festival that I played and I’m like, “Holy shit, I can’t believe that actually happened and that used to happen all the time.” Hopefully we’ll get there again where I’m doing it often, but for now it still feels like such an intense experience again.

When you’re sitting at home alone and just creating things for the internet, it’s really easy to develop an imposter syndrome or you forget that there are even people at the other end.

Completely. I came back [to the US] and I was like, “All these people still want to get in the studio with me? Sick. I just booked this TV show? What the fuck?” I was really surprised, I’ve been so detached from it for so long being in Australia. I moved back home, so even coming back here and seeing that my friends are still here and they all still want to be my friend… I don’t know how to describe it, it just felt like the whole thing could’ve been something I imagined: my whole life in America, my whole life as an artist, could’ve been something that I just dreamt up. And I was like, “Oh wait this is real and it’s still happening and everyone’s so cool.” I was coming from 0 to 100. My first weeks back [in the US], it was the Met Gala and stuff, so it really felt like the craziest transition.

It seems like you did a lot of development in isolation as an artist. You appear to be more comfortable, and especially with your sexuality, than ever before. Do you think that’s true?

I do think that’s true and it comes from, ultimately, I don’t really care as much as I used to. Not in a bad way, like I care so much about the music I’m making and the music videos. I care about my job a lot, but the stuff that surrounds it, like what people say or comments on the internet, I don’t care about them as much. During the pandemic, I found such a solid base, something I was longing for for a really long time was I was lying to myself about how homesick I was. Then when I got home to Australia and set myself up there with my family and friends that have been my friends since I was two, I truly feel in my heart of hearts that I know I could go back to Australia and go to Uni for graphic design, or something like that, and I know I’d be happy. So it took off all the extra pressure and reminded me I’m here doing this because I love what I do and I’m so stoked to have all these opportunities. But it also gave me the sense of confidence and security where I’m like, nothing really matters. Just do it because you’re enjoying it, because you love it.

Pre-pandemic, the industry was like, Go go go. Is this song going number one? Will I become the biggest pop star in the world? Did you ever have that ambition and now do you feel more comfortable existing in whatever environment you find yourself in?

The people I’ve always looked up to, for example, someone like Mark Ronson or Robyn… I see the way they live their lives and I feel like they’re confident to just do good work and then live a good life at the same time. That’s my dream. At a certain point, I would imagine, your work would eclipse your ability to have a good life. I’m really intimidated by the thought of, and not saying I ever could do this, but having that level of commercial success. I think it would really impact your ability to hang out with friends or go to a club or go to a grocery store, and those are all things I really enjoy doing. So I don’t ever aspire to that, but I do think, and I’m even feeling it now, when you’re here in America and there are these cool opportunities and you’re loving your job, it’s very easy to prioritize that over something like family or friends. And I’m so lucky, this is coming from a place of privilege to do this, but I’m like, “You know what? No,I’m actually going to take off some time in December even if we have to say ‘no’ to that really cool thing cause I want to go on a family holiday for the first time in two years.” So it’s kind of a conscious effort to try and maintain some sort of balance in my life.

Those breaks are important to create work with intention, because otherwise it’s so easy to keep making more, but what exactly are we putting out? You’ve done such an incredible job, especially in the past few years, of releasing projects that look beautifully styled and art directed. You mentioned wanting to go to school for graphic design. Do you feel yourself growing more interested in the visual side of music?

I’ve always really loved that side of it. I’ve always loved photoshop. For me, I’m writing a good song when I’m imagining a music video, so the visuals have always been a huge part of my expression. But then I branched out over the pandemic and designed my house in Australia. I had such a good time falling into that world of interior design and architecture. I really fell in love with these YouTube videos about city planning and my mind definitely was in an exploratory phase. I was really enjoying being bored enough to find new interests because I hadn’t done that in a really long time. And that’s part of again this feeling of security for me. I have so much I want to do, and so much that interests and excites me. My main priority in life is to be happy and mentally stimulated, and I’m lucky that’s happening in music and in acting and in film, right now. I’m also curious to see what shape that takes in other industries or areas of my life. I don’t think I’m going to quit and go to Uni anytime soon, but I feel a sense of peace knowing that it’s there.

Your Art Basel performance is very visual and involved fan submissions for the stage design. Talk me through that process from the beginning and what it was like to work alongside Pamela Shamshiri.

This performance is a combination of pretty much everything we’ve been talking about, which is all my favorite things. It’s design, it’s live performance, it’s music, it’s collaboration. It’s a collaboration between me and Pamela, who’s my favorite interior designer, and then this collaboration with people from all over the US that submitted their ideas, treatments, mood boards, drawings and photos. That’s something that came out of the pandemic: outreach to the people who follow me on Instagram or Twitter became so important and inspiring to me. One of the first things I did in march 2020 was outreach to people for graphic design. It felt so nice to have something that made me feel connected to other people and something that made me feel inspired from my bedroom. I’m never not floored by how great the ideas are, so it was really nice to hop on a Zoom with the winners and talk through where their ideas came from and the “why” behind what they do. Each of them had such specific, different mediums that they were passionate about. Pam and I worked through the ideas, and came up with a really cool stage design and performance.

It’s always interesting to get an outside perspective on your work.

That’s the thing about collaboration: I would have never come up with half these ideas. It’s so cool to be able to stretch your mind and get out of your own head.

How’d you and Pamela determine what criteria to look at all the submissions through?

I think the criteria was people who felt genuinely inspired from a genuine place. Finding people who found their medium and really expressed themselves through that. One of the winners we spoke to worked exclusively in flowers and their whole treatment was floristry. We spoke to him for like five minutes and he had me thinking about flowers in the most beautiful way: talking about how sometimes beautiful things are not made to last and the flowers are going to die and the fact that they existed in that form in that one moment is beautiful enough. It was so inspiring to talk to all these people, that’s just one example.

One submission category was “Living in the Moment.” What does that mean to you, right now?

Living in the moment is something we’ve all had to really practice doing over the last two years. I’ve had my own struggles with anxiety, which is literally my definition of not living in the moment, and I often find myself not living in the moment. So developing those skills of trying to bring yourself back to the present and if you can create some piece of art that helps people do that… maybe it’s the flowers, maybe it’s a really intimate music performance, I think that’s sweet and very needed.

Ansel Elgort and Offset Party During Art Basel

A hazy concert by Offset. A Gen Z model blew out birthday candles. A book signing at Gucci. The tropical bacchanal of art fairs, private dinners and A-list parties known as Art Basel Miami Beach has returned with a vengeance. Here are some highlights from Wednesday night.

There was a long line at the Gucci store in Miami’s Design District, but this time it was for a book. Mickalene Thomas and her partner Racquel Chevremont were signing copies of their new art book, “Monograph.” Less bookish fans posed in front of neon lights and disco balls for the perfect selfie.

Occasion: A book signing and cocktail party for Ms. Thomas.

The Room: Upstairs from Gucci’s shiny store, with images of Ms. Thomas’s work displayed on giant screens.

In Attendance: Ms. Thomas; Ms. Chevremont; Michael Chow, the restaurateur, and his wife, Vanessa Rano; Tourmaline, an activist; and models including Selah Marley.

The Food: Nina Compton, a chef from New Orleans, served hot fried chicken, tuna tartare and jerked tofu.

The Mood: “I’m really excited to see the work at the Untitled Art Fair tomorrow,” Ms. Thomas said. “They do a beautiful job of displaying the work, and it doesn’t look like you’re going through a mall.”

Jordan Barrett, a model once labeled, by Vogue, an “It Boy,” said he has never had a proper birthday party before. So he invited 40 of his closest friends at Art Basel to help him celebrate.

Occasion: Mr. Barrett turned 25. He was also promoting his sparkling sake brand, Hape.

The Room: Gitano Miami, the South Beach outpost of the clubby Mexican restaurant in Tulum.

The Food: Small shared plates like queso with chorizo, guacamole and branzino with kiwi.

In Attendance: Mr. Barrett; his partner Fernando Augusto Casablancas; Ricky Thompson, an actor; Chloe Wise, an artist; Candice Swanepoel, a model; and the musician Duckwrth.

Moment of the Night: Around 11 p.m., Mr. Barrett blew out the candles on two large cakes, one that resembled his sparkling sake can.

The Mood: “The moment I leave here I really want to get away from as many people as I can and be alone for a moment,” Mr. Barrett said of his holiday plans. “I want to be in the jungle and in nature, so hopefully I can go to the waterfall in Las Palmas.”

The mezcal was flowing, and the dance floor was wet with spilled drinks. After midnight, partygoers squeezed themselves into a basement lounge for a late-night performance by Offset.

Occasion: Flaunt, a fashion magazine from Los Angeles, celebrated its latest issue.

The Room: The downstairs lounge at Gale, a South Beach hotel, decorated with tropical wallpaper.

In Attendance: The hip-hop musicians Offset and Quavo; Michele Lamy, the fashion designer; the actor Ansel Elgort; Shaun Ross, a model and musician; and Cuba Gooding Jr., the actor.

Moment of the Night: After some technical glitches, during which Offset requested a few shots of tequila to fill the awkward silence, he performed two songs including “Bad and Boujee,” around 1:30 a.m.

The Mood: “I was signing books that featured me. I’m also doing a few things with Offset, but mainly I am here in Miami for Virgil,” Ms. Lamy said, referring to Virgil Abloh, who died last week. A Louis Vuitton show on Monday became an impromptu tribute. “The show was absolutely great, it was the best thing we ever saw of him. It’s difficult, but it brought people together. On Monday I’m going to Chicago for the funeral.”
