10 Women Designers Who Ruled Design Miami/

From subtle abstraction to bold absurdity, here are ten pieces we adored, all by women.

For reasons that have nothing to do with its content, Design Miami/ is my favorite fair: it's small, easy to navigate, and makes you want to touch everything (and, when it's a chair, you can). But as a platform for design, the global forum unwittingly becomes a showcase for visionary thought—utilizing design to imagine the future. Things may seem bleak but at Design Miami/, we found solace and hope in the ideas and dreams of those destined to shape and save the world: women.

Here are just ten we adored, in a sea of designers both emergent and long-established.
