Daniel Arsham makes installations and objects that conjure a kind of mythical contemporary archeology. In a practice that spans film, painting, sculpture and installation — and employs elements of architecture and performance — the artist distorts recognizable forms (a cereal box or classical sculpture, for example) into corroded, calcified or otherwise glitched-out artifacts. Like much of Arsham’s work, the limited-edition Kohler Rock.01 Sink is an homage to time. “Rock.01 melds the future of 3D-printing technology with the most basic methods of handcast brass,” he says. “It’s literally the new resting on top of the old, and I find that incredibly poetic. Kohler was the ideal partner to bring such a complex and futuristic design to life.” Only 99 pieces will ever be made; Kohler.com.

Intrinsic Design
By purposefully incorporating nature into interior design, a one-of-a-kind collaboration aptly named The Freedom Collection, was born, lead by designer Nicola Fontanella and Paloma Teppa in partnership with Miami-based biophilic design studio Plant The Future.
Inner Canvas
In the quiet elegance of the De La Cruz Family Private Collection in Key Biscayne, the lines between muse and masterpiece dissolve. Draped in silky textures that echo the rich tones of the walls, the model moves — nostalgic, timeless and eternal. Each frame captures her presence among the storied canvases, as if she were painted into a world where art is not just displayed — it is embodied.
