Events at Design Miami/Basel 2008
Luminaire's Paperlove and Wolfgang Roth & Partners~ In 2006, Luminaire hosted PUPPYLOVE during Art Basel Miami Beach.We invited over 35 of the world’s most famed designers, artists, and architects to participate in this extraordinary international event. A 3D plastic puppy was provided to each of the participants as a blank canvas. These amazingly inspired puppies were auctioned, raising $450,000 to fund the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, one of the foremost Cancer research facilities. This year, Luminaire is continuing it’s unending quest of finding a cure for cancer and will be hosting PAPERLOVE where we will auction one-of-a-kind pieces of art with the main mediums paper from world-renowned designers, architects and artists. Just think about how amazing paper really is. You can write, draw, paint and print on it; you can cut and fold it; you can mold it.Whether made from silk or bamboo or mulberry bark, it has throughout time inspired great and lasting art. In some cultures, primarily in the East, paper has long been recognized as a highly precious and valued material. In the West, however, paper is often thought of as a disposable commodity, not intended to
last much longer than today’s newspaper. This is why those of us at Luminaire feel it is time that we took stock and looked at paper anew. Uniting for the single cause of conquering cancer through art and design, all proceeds from the auction will again go to fund the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. we look forward to making a significant contribution toward finding a cure.
