Salon Art + Design returns for its 13th edition at New York City’s Park Avenue Armory from November 7-11, 2024, presenting an exceptional showcase of collectible design under the new Executive Direction of Nicky Dessources. With over 50 leading art and design galleries from around the world, this year’s fair combines vintage, modern, and contemporary pieces with blue-chip artworks and special installations, celebrating the ever-evolving world of collectible design.
A highlight of this year’s fair is a debut collaboration between Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery and American artist MicheleOka Doner. Titled “The Botanic Age,” Oka Doner’s jewelry collection explores themes inspired by research from Dr. Dean Falk of Florida State University, reimagining a period before the Stone Age when plants were central to human life and creativity.
Highlights of the Collection:
- Winter Branches: An Ongoing Conversation – A unique series of nine brooches crafted in bronze, 18kt white gold, and old-cut diamonds, inspired by the shapes of winter branches, evoking a serene connection to nature.
- Talisman – A pendant in bronze, 18kt yellow gold, and diamond, available in a limited edition of eight. This piece honors the ancient talisman tradition, symbolizing a link between past and present.
- Mitosis – A series of five silver boxes created through electro-forming, representing cellular division and incorporating materials sourced by Oka Doner from the Hudson River.
