Fragiles is the porcelain, glass and ceramics show curated by Die Gestalten Verlag for next week's Art Basel in Miami. It's a collection of more than 200 pieces of contemporary work by leading designers who are using fragile materials to further their creativity. Designer Arne Quinze has been commissioned to create new works in glass for this exhibition and the work he did with the traditional Bavarian glassworks can be seen here. There will also be work by Marcel Wanders, Jaime Hayon, Hella Jongerius and a host of other designers, and so much of it will show the sense of humour that reigns throughout the creative world. The Millipedes above are by David Amar, and there’s more variety after the jump.
