Basel Switzerland – June 13, 2018 – Design Miami/  celebrated this year’s Swarovski Designers of the Future award winners with an intimate dinner. The Swarovski Designers of the Future Award honors a select group of emerging designers who exemplify new directions in design culture. These young creatives work beyond pure product design, embracing conceptually or technologically vanguard approaches, and combining multiple design disciplines. The objective of the award is to offer these next-generation talents the opportunity to present newly commissioned works to an influential audience at Design Miami/ Basel, and to explore innovative design solutions for the modern world. This year’s award winners include Frank Kolkman, an experimental designer from Amsterdam; Study O Portable, a research-based practice in London that makes objects about the designed environment; and Yosuke Ushigome, a creative technologist at Japanese design collective Takram.
