About favorite galleries: in the “Tao Te Ching”, the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu wrote: “A great presence is difficult to see. A great sound is difficult to hear. A great image has no form.” The concept of the BOOROOM GALLERY stand “The Art of Stone” is a close study of the nature of stone, a meditative search for new meanings in the combination of the natural and the man-made. 

The exhibition is built on the resonance of objects with each other, with space, and with history. This is a continuous dialogue between the past, present, and future. Authors: Rui Matos, Mattia Bosco, Hubert le Gall, Li Chevalier, Daniela Busarella, Tomonari Hashimoto, Yamamoto Masao, Christophe Delcourt, Lena Solovieva, Sunwoo Jung, Ariana Ahmad, Roxane Lahidji, Ksenia Breivo.

The concept of the FIFTH AVENUE GALLERY stand "Meditation room" is aimed at creating a space for privacy and reflection, immersing one in the meditation process. Each object embodies the fusion of the organic and the man-made and carries a special symbolism. Authors Vincenzo De Cotiis, Isabelle Stanislas, Mathieu Bonardet, Pierre Bonnefille, Benoit Lemercier, Katrien Doms, Veronika Zhabko.

The mission of the PALATY GALLERY is to find and apply Russian DNA to objects relevant to global design. The plot of this year's stand was "The Inside Out" - the reverse side, what is hidden inside, the most intimate and real. When creating, each creator puts their soul into it, turns it inside out, and shows openness, sincerity, and the state of their inner world. Authors: Anna Chervonna with multi-layered applications of brass mesh, new works by Natalia Makarova and Ruslan Mazloev. This year, the gallery showed the value of handicrafts in more depth and paid special attention to regional authors.

The concept of the A-HOUSE stand is based on the study of materials and their capabilities. The "Images of Material Culture" project is dedicated to experiments with texture and the interaction of different materials with each other. The authors include the French artist Orfeld, Natalia Tarantsova, furniture by Archipélago, Treivas, consoles, and bench by Lavdansky Studio and Fresh Glass.

The central place of the Heritage Gallery exposition is occupied by vintage Africa chairs, created in 1975 by the legendary duo in the history of Italian design Afra and Tobia Scarpa for the Maxalto factory. They worked on light, furniture, and buildings, leaving the world real “diamonds”, collected in the world’s leading galleries and private collections. It's worth noting that the works of Russian designers look worthy in such a neighborhood too. The chest of drawers with arches on the facade is the work of Sergei Khrabrovsky, and the hoof-shaped chair, sofa, and new chandelier based on Matisse’s “Dance” are made according to the design of Roman Plys.

The ANNA NOVA GALLERY stand featured works by two iconic artists from the gallery: photographer Dmitry Markov and artist of this year according to the Cosmoscow Foundation Alexandra Gart.
