It is redundant to write that Design Miami 2021 is dedicated to ...design... but a mention of it being the only fair during Miami Art Week totally dedicated to design is difficult to avoid.
This merits discussion.
Many fairs will have furniture as art or textiles. In most cases, however, these are non-functional versions of those items. Design Miami is much more about the functional--although not totally so as you will note from the photos below. It is a unique fair and if you are attending a number of the fine art focused fairs it can be a bit of a visual palate cleanser.
Side Gallery (Barcelona) showed work by Czech designer, Tadeas Podracky. Podracky is an experimental designer whose work from The Metamorphosis series is below. In addition to Design Miami, he has been shown at FOG San Francisco, Maison et Objet Paris, Mudac Museum Lausanne, Designblok Prague, Salone del Mobile Milano, London Design Festival and Dutch Design Week. This is in addition to a number of prestigious residencies.

Also below is the booth from Objective Gallery (New York, Shanghai). You will be rewarded by checking out their Instagram page. The Twist Column Lights that bookend the booth manage to be both elegant and powerful.

Pieces from The Metamorphasis by Tadeas Podracky
Jason Jacques Gallery (New York) 's booth with its Nick Weddell pieces and dome will probably be the booth the average visitor will most readily recall. Some of Weddell's whimsical textile pieces are also below. He is a native of Austin Texas. His pieces mix the absurd with the unsettling with a dash of the primitive (in the literal meaning of the word, not the "art" one).

The two function, lovely pieces below were shown by Twenty First Gallery (New York). These two pieces sat across from each other in the booth and are quite the juxtaposition--smooth, elegant and obviously man-made next to what appears a crumpled rock wall.
Below those are photos of the Moderne Gallery (Philadelphia) booth and a piece shown by R & Company Gallery (New York).
Design Miami Runs from December 1 to 5, 2021.
