Revolution is a collection of limited edition, pre-crafted properties, including pavilions and homes, conceived by design and real estate developer Robbie Antonio. The pavilion series were launched at Design Miami/ 2015 in collaboration with ETN Design.

Revolution Precrafted Properties unites more than 30 of the world’s preeminent architects, artists and designers to create a series of prefabricated living spaces, including Pritzker Prize-winner Zaha Hadid, Ron Arad, Kengo Kuma, and Campana Brothers, among others. The result is a diverse collection of innovative, functional and collectible structures.

The launch at Design Miami/ 2015 debuts Zaha Hadid’s curved VOLU Pavilion and Gluckman Tang’s structured Model Art Pavilion, each individually imbued with its designer’s personal concept of spatial form and social function.

“Utilizing cutting-edge technologies and cost-efficient production systems, Revolution is democratizing high design and architecture by introducing designed spaces in exclusive collaboration with industry leaders. The project adds a new dimension to the way design and architecture are perceived, realized and collected,” says Revolution’s team.

Robbie Antonio has developed premier commercial, residential, cultural, and civic projects around the world in collaboration with artists, architects, and designers. Having worked with nine Pritzker Prize-winning architects and no less than 67 international brands, Antonio has established himself as a leading tastemaker and specialist in the spheres of art, architecture, design, branding and real estate.

ETN Design is a new venture from Edward Tyler Nahem, whose eponymous New York gallery was founded over thirty years ago and specializes in modern, post-war and contemporary art. Nahem and Antonio share a belief in the power of design to shape our world.

The Swarovski Designers of the Future Award 2015--

Design duo Studio Swine presented the groundbreaking Terraforming, a multifaceted project that explores the future of resources in luxury design. The work consists of 3 objects—a dune table featuring a constantly-changing landscape in Swarovski Xero crystal, a dune timer or digital hourglass and a table top object entitled “Solaris” — as well as a film that depicts Planet Swarovski, a crystallized world terraformed into a habitable environment. The story charts a young cartographer as he transforms the landscape, leveraging design as a tool to impact the world around him.

The Swarovski Designers of the Future Award 2015--- The winners of the Swarovski Designers of the Future
Inspired by the point within crystal where light is either reflected or refracted, designer Tomás Alonso created 47°–a collection of crystal objects cut at this important angle. The objects are fused with colored UV glue, crystal effects and mirror foiling to reflect or refract light depending upon the vantage point of the viewer. Alonso is known for his clear and pragmatic vision which produces elegant, linear and poetic pieces.

The Swarovski Designers of the Future Award 2015- Elaine Yan Ling Ng

TED fellow and founder of THE FABRICK LAB Elaine Yan Ling Ng brings together textiles, electronics, biomimicry and craft. Ng unveiled “Sundew” at this year’s Design Miami/, a kinetic creation inspired by the exotic and carnivorous Sundew. The installation features three interactive structures whose movement is triggered by human presence. Complementing the multi-sensory experience is a fragrance that permeates the installation space and lures audiences in to interact with the work.
Although this is the first year the brand sponsored the Designers of the Future Award, Swarovski has supported Design Miami/ since 2008, collaborating with renowned talents including Greg Lynn, Asif Khan, Guilherme Torres and most recently Jeanne Gang.

The Designers of the Future award offers the opportunity to promote new talent and contribute to the wider design conversation through work that challenges traditional design approaches. Supported by Swarovski, the winners are given free rein to explore imaginative new design solutions and push the boundaries of crystal as a creative material.
