. With over 20 new international galleries presenting across the Gallery, Curio and Podium showcases, the 2022 edition reaffirms the fair’s global approach.
‘We are delighted to return to Basel this year with a particularly exciting line-up of galleries, curios, special projects and partners,’ says’s VP of fairs, Grela Orihuela. ‘Through the breadth and depth of their presentations, we look forward to prompting timely discussion around this year’s theme, The Golden Age.’
Commenting on her choice for the fair’s theme, Didero adds: ‘Even during the hardest of struggles, as a society we should always focus and strive to be better. We must remember that challenges have always driven humanity forward. Human beings have come up with answers to the world’s most pressing questions, often during moments in which the very roots of our life are being tested by external forces, over which it seems we have no control.’The Golden Age, Podium installation view.
For the first time, the fair’s Podium comes to the Basel fair, with a special display inspired by the theme. ‘The exhibition offers the opportunity to explore a large range of presentations of amazing pieces from different contexts, times and geographies,’ says Didero. ‘Podium becomes a platform to reflect on how these pieces can ignite discussions around today’s design scene.
The exhibition includes historical pieces such as Vladimir Kagan’s ‘Capricorn’ chair, the ‘Eros’ marble table by Angelo Mangiarotti, the ‘Water Lilies Bowl’ by Pierre Paulin and Carlo Mollino’s ‘Stackable’ beds, from Casa del Sole. Among the contemporary pieces are a trio of vessels by Diego Cibelli, created during the pandemic using found objects, a lamp by Misha Kahn, and apiece by Faye Toogood.
