Luminaire to exhibit works by Konstantin Grcic and Piero Lissoni at Design Miami

Dezeen promotion: design company Luminaire is hosting an exhibition at its Miami Design District showroom featuring works by industrial designer Konstantin Grcic, architect and designer Piero Lissoni and fashion designer Ann Demeulemeester.

Piero Lissoni's The Uncollected Collection will be among the items in the exhibit

The Luminaire Lab exhibition will open on Thursday 5 December 2019 to coincide with this year's Art Basel and Design Miami events.

Designs from Lissoni's limited-edition The Uncollected Collection, which he created for product design company Living Divani, will occupy the windows of the storefront on 3901 NE 2nd Avenue.

The delicate designs are made from black steel rod and aluminium

The Uncollected Collection was produced to celebrate both Living Divani's 50th anniversary, and Lissoni's 30th anniversary as art director.

Items in the series follow in the minimal, contemporary style of the Italian architect and designer, who is also art director of Living Divani. They include the delicate Sedia chairs made from slender elements of black steel rod and aluminium.

Konstantin Grcic's modular, mouth-blown lighting series created for Flos are also included in the showcase

Luminaire Lab's second level in Miami will hosts modular, mouth-blown lighting that German designer Grcic created for Italian brand Flos.

Called Ncotambule, the pieces comprises cylindrical see-through glass modules stacked on top of one another, with the lighting threaded in between. Luminaire said they will be almost "invisible" during the day, but will light up the showroom at night.
