Blunk Space is pleased to present a group show representative of the gallery’s mission to connect the work of living artists with that of the pioneering Northern California artist JB Blunk (1926–2002). Iconic wood and ceramic tableware and furniture by Blunk ground a dialogue with three emerging designers whose practices are similarly resourceful and intuitive: LA-based Adam Pogue, Mexico City-based Alana Burns, and London-based Rio Kobayashi. All three have collaborated with Blunk’s legacy, making work at the Blunk House and showing at Blunk Space.
Tickets are now available from Design Miami.
