In this specially curated showcase at DESIGN MIAMI.PARIS set within the exquisite L’hôtel de Maisons, SCAD debuts site-specific commissions and new works by celebrated alumni, highlighting the range of innovative practices artists pursue across the university’s prestigious programs.
Bespoke tufted flooring by Abel Macias (B.F.A., illustration, 2002) graces the original 18th-century staircase, demonstrating his affinity for conveying narratives through the interplay of vibrant colors and shapes, inspired by the landscape of the American Southwest. Gretchen Wagner’s (M.F.A., painting, 2023; B.F.A., fibers, 2011) suspended sculptural installation arranges accordion-folded paper cylinders in sherbet-toned gradients embellished with embroidered beading. A credenza by Evan Baker (B.F.A., furniture design, 2025) blends sophisticated functionality with eccentric flair through complex wood grain patterning and exquisite workmanship. Two ceramic stools by Anne Weber Callahan (B.F.A., furniture design, 2019) bear the delicate mark of the artist’s hand, highlighting her attention to cradling the body as well as to the intrinsic character of clay. Diaphanous hues emanate from Katie Hagen’s (M.F.A., fibers, 2023; M.A., production design, 2023) natural-dyed silk organza weaving, bringing elegance into the everyday, while six sculptural lamps by Marcelo Suro (B.F.A., industrial design, 2022) emphasize texture, mass, and translucency through the merging of hand-blown glass and volcanic stone. Together, this ensemble creates a dynamic dialogue between the grandeur of the historic architectural space and the artists’ contemporary approaches to material, form, and making.
SCAD is the official university partner of DESIGN MIAMI.PARIS.
