Taking over New York’s Park Avenue Armory for its eighth edition this November, prestigious gallery fair Salon Art + Design is seeking to draw in a younger collector base. Though exhibiting galleries have been charged with presenting more affordable pieces, this year’s offering of both vintage and contemporary wares promises to elate all tastes.

A far more restrained and arguably refined offering than other somewhat boisterous gallery fairs that dot the annual calendar, the Salon Art + Design (November 14 to 18) brings together a highly select group of 56 collectible and vintage design galleries from around the world. Taking center stage this year are Paris’s Galerie BSL—presenting Pia Maria Raeder’s wonderfully ornate yet organically-formed Stardust benches and mirrors—newcomer WonderGlass—the independent practice’s Venetian-inspired glass sculptures—and Cologne’s ammann// gallery—showing new large-scale prints by famed Swiss architecture photographer Hélène Binet.

Special installations will reveal that an increasing number of design studios are seeking to enter the market on their own, bypassing representation. Among the offering, which also includes brand-sponsored showcases from Vogue Italia and Lalique, New York-based practice Apparatus will mount it’s own spatial project as will French designer Mathieu Lehanneur. A rigorous lecture program and designer tour series will explore the wider world of collector culture and address pressing issues such as sustainability and craft production.
