This Design Miami.In Situ exhibition comes at the perfect moment: when Korean culture—spanning music, food, art, design, and craft—is thriving as a global trendsetter.

Illuminated: A Spotlight on Korean Design —Inspired by the Korean word “조명 (jo-myeong)”, meaning to illuminate, the exhibition has been curated to showcase Korean design. Dedicated to exploring the innovative craft and influence held by each designer on show, the exhibition will platform the design voices and figures who have shaped the Korean collectible design landscape—from local roots, to global recognition.
