Coral Gables Museum presents Design for a Living World, on view through October 25.
The Nature Conservancy invited 10 designers to create objects from sustainable materials sourced from around the world. Wood, plants, wool and other organic materials were transformed into intriguing objects, revealing extraordinary stories about regeneration and the human connection to the Earth’s lands and waters. Together designers and consumers can re-shape our economy and help advance a global conservation ethic by choosing sustainable materials that support rather than deplete endangered places. Design for a Living World, which premiered at New York’s Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum and traveled to Chicago and Phoenix, showcases the works of Ted Muehling, Stephen Burks, Yves Béhar, Abbott Miller, Kate Spade New York, Isaac Mizrahi, Hella Jongerius, Christien Meindertsma, Ezri Tarazi and Maya Lin. This stop at the Coral Gables Museum will be the final chance to view this exhibition.
