15 Pieces We Love From Collectible Salon

Founded in 2018 by Clélie Debehault and Liv Vaisberg, COLLECTIBLE has quickly become the preeminent international fair focused solely on 21st-century design. Typically based in Brussels, this year, in light of the pandemic, the fair has evolved to meet the moment with COLLECTIBLE Salon, a virtual platform that will leverage augmented reality, editorial content, e-commerce, and even a dedicated WhatsApp feature to allow virtual fairgoers to have very real conversations with studios and independent designers. “We wanted to enable people, as in real life, to either browse at random as one would wander the [physical] fair, or to source directly and efficiently what they are looking for,” says Vaisberg.

To that end, the fair was divided into three easily navigable sections: Main (work that spans design, architecture, and art); Bespoke (work with an elevated focus on craft); and Curated (a special selection of works from New York curator and writer Julia Haney Montañez exploring how design can address societal shifts). The platform launches May 28 and is open through the weekend, but you can preview a few of our favorite pieces below.
