The Highlights of SCAD’s Booth at DESIGN MIAMI
SCAD’s activation at booth X/06 features works by several celebrated alumni who each boldly experiment with color and texture. Artist Anya Molyaviatis debuts a new series of her signature three-dimensional weavings cast in rich jewel tones. Her works vary from cascading strings to highly structured geometric patterns; presented in a site-specific installation, viewers are fully immersed in Molyaviatis’s technicolor world.
Established designer Eny Lee Parker showcases tables made of glass and ceramic, epitomizing her proclivity for bespoke furnishings which arrive in unexpected shapes and silhouettes. Lastly, celebrated tastemaker and fashion designer Christopher John Rogers partnered with the furniture design studio Orior, helmed by fellow alum Ciaran McGuigan, to create a series of distinctive chairs. Their collaboration is an homage to traditional Irish fabrication, pairing harlequin prints with classical utility.
