Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Never before seen, unique designs from Ron Arad and Wendell Castle will be appearing at this year's Design Miami in the United States from November 30 to December 5.
These two new works as well as designs by 27 other artists will be appearing with the Barry Friedman, Ltd. gallery, which specializes in bringing high end contemporary European designs to the American market.
Coincidentally both the pieces by the two designers are rocking chairs: the Solid Rocker (2010) by Israeli designer and architect Ron Arad is constructed with stainless steel rods and has a metallic shine, whereas the Don Juan (2010) by American designer Wendell Castle is made of stained mahogany with an oil finish. Both pieces are unique and new.
Now in its sixth year Design Miami brings together established and upcoming high-end designers from around the world. The event is marketed as a showcase of museum quality furniture, lighting and objets d'art and aimed at serious collectors looking for unique pieces. The show also provides members of the public a glimpse into the latest happenings in the world of high-end design.
Other high-end but more accessible designs will be exhibited at Maison and Objet in Paris, France, from January 21-25. This luxury trade fair showcases the latest in high end home furnishings and designs; one of the themes of last year's event was the work of Russian designers such as Milma Rezanova and Evgenia Miro.
