Since it hit the design calendar 7 years ago Design Miami has named a Designer of the Year, offering that person a chance to create a site specific piece for the festival. Past winners have included Zaha Hadid, Marc Newson and Konstantin Grcic - whose work for Magis we recently welcomed into the Herman Miller family. This year the accolade goes to architect David Adjaye who has designed “Genesis” –  a pavilion that incorporates his signature undulating timber blades to create a space that will offer respite from the busy show.



Below Adjaye is interviewed in his office – you’ll get a fascinating view of his workspace and also a great insight into his take on design.

Design Miami runs from 30 November – 4 December 2011.
