in addition to the designers, manufacturers and buyers attending design miami/basel 2008, celebrities are also
in the mix. yesterday brad pitt made the rounds at the design event buying up a number of ‘deasign-art’ pieces.
his shopping list included 2 ‘bronze poly chairs’ by max lamb from johnson trading gallery, ‘family lamp’ by atelier
van lieshout and rococo inspired table by jeroen verhoeven, both from carpenters workshop gallery, 2 ron arad
chairs from sebastian + barquet and also put in an order for a ‘silver sky’ woven aluminum rug by jorge lizarazo
from dealer cristina grajales. pitt also showed interest in a number of other pieces including a 300,000 USD
fiberglass sofa by zaha hadid. the total value of his purchases is unknown, but the design enthusiast must have
spent around 1 million USD.
