Æquo returns to Miami with a new collection that spotlights traditional techniques and raw materials rooted in Indian craftsmanship. This exhibition reflects Æquo’s mission to bridge contemporary design with India’s rich artisanal legacy, showcasing generational techniques infused with modern creativity. The pieces at Design Miami are the result of close collaborations, initiated by the gallery but fundamentally driven by Æquo’s deep engagement with specialized workshops across India.
These collaborations are shaped by dialogues between the gallery’s curator and designers, fostering curiosity and experimentation. Æquo matches artisans with specific design concepts, selecting talent from across India’s diverse regions. This year’s collection highlights craftsmanship from Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu, forming a creative landscape that embodies the country’s artisanal diversity. By introducing these works to a U.S. audience, Æquo not only showcases India’s craftsmanship but also sparks new interpretations by other designers. The evolution of crafts has historically been shaped by travel and the movement of objects, inspiring new interpretations and innovations. By continuing this tradition, Æquo ensures that these crafts remain dynamic and relevant, supporting their preservation and growth.
