Tattoo Breakfast Table - a glimpse to Design Miami

Enjoy some superb pieces of design that were exhibited at the Design Miami/ 2010 show and that I liked very much:

Pedro Barrail's Tattoo Breakfast Table

I like the elegant fusion of folk art and contemporary design in Pedro Barrail’s Tattoo Breakfast Table. It is part of a theme Barrail began in 2008 with his bar stools, which are also at the fair. All Barrail’s pieces are a result of a collaboration between contemporary design and folkloric traditions maintained by the indigenous tribes in the Amazon. Barrail crafts the pieces from wood, and then they are tattooed by the tribes people with patterns, imagery, and symbols typical of their culture. Beautiful!

Graft Architect's Phantom Table 

Made of carbon fiber and reinforced with plastic, Graft Architect's Phantom Table appears to be table cloth sweeping across a large table.  
















Another elegant piece of furniture is Bae Sehwa "Steam" bench combining venerated Korean aesthetic traditions, iconography and ways of making with contemporary ideas and forms:
