Produced in collaboration with artist Alexander May, the weeklong presentation will feature historic and contemporary works across collectible design, art, fashion, and sound, expanding on Basic.Space&rsquo;s previous three-day format.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Under May&rsquo;s artistic direction, the SoHo space will be transformed into a composition of objects, materials, and sound, with works from different periods finding new associations in one another&rsquo;s company. The presentation brings together established and emerging artists, designers, and studios for the holiday season.</p><blockquote style=\"text-align: justify\">&ldquo;At Basic.Space, we are building a new luxury ecosystem; instead of gatekeeping, we want &lsquo;collecting&rsquo; to be accessible to the next generation of consumers,&rdquo; says <strong>Jesse Lee</strong>, <strong>Founder and CEO of Basic.Space </strong>and<strong> Chairman of Design Miami. </strong>&ldquo;Through our collaboration with Alexander, we are providing a &lsquo;holiday gift guide&rsquo; in a new form, shaped by the artists and designers behind the work.&rdquo;</blockquote><blockquote style=\"text-align: justify\">&ldquo;I am interested in what happens between objects,&rdquo; says <strong>Alexander May</strong>, artist and co-producer of Basic.Space New York 2026. &ldquo;A work carries its own history, but placing it beside something unexpected can change how we see it. I wanted to create a space where those relationships could unfold, with room for people to bring their own associations.&rdquo;</blockquote><p style=\"text-align: justify\">At the center of the presentation is an installation featuring a new custom work by Harry Nuriev of Crosby Studios, inspired by a business-class airplane seat. It brings together the three-piece Virgil Abloh c/o Vitra 2035: US Edition collection, comprising the Ceramic Block and Abloh&rsquo;s reinterpretations of Jean Prouv&eacute;&rsquo;s Antony armchair and Petite Potence lamp. The installation also includes designs by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Mario Bellini, Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret, alongside a rug designed by Jessie Andrews for Nordic Knots.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The entire installation will be offered as the prize in the <a href=\"https://basic.space/luxurydraw\"><u>Basic.Space x Apple Pay Luxury Draw</u></a>, with entries available for $1 through Apple Pay. All proceeds benefit the Virgil Abloh Foundation, supporting emerging creatives from underrepresented communities. Entries close on November 19, with the winner selected at random on December 8, 2026.</p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n        data-component=\"image-zoom-popup\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-selector=\".release-content-image__image\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-i18n=\"data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0=\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-views-event=\"Story Image View\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event=\"Story Image Download\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-placement=\"content\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n            <img\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/6094764c-871f-4d6b-9b41-6dd29b171596/-/format/auto/\"\n                                class=\"release-content-image__image image-thumbnail-rollover__image\"\n                data-description=\"&lt;em&gt;The central installation, featuring works by Virgil Abloh, Harry Nuriev of Crosby Studios, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Mario Bellini, Nordic Knots, Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret&lt;/em&gt;\"\n                id=\"image-6094764c-871f-4d6b-9b41-6dd29b171596\"\n                data-id=\"6094764c-871f-4d6b-9b41-6dd29b171596\"\n                data-original=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/6094764c-871f-4d6b-9b41-6dd29b171596/-/inline/no/Untitled\"\n                data-mfp-src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/6094764c-871f-4d6b-9b41-6dd29b171596/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"The central installation, featuring works by Virgil Abloh, Harry Nuriev of Crosby Studios, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Mario Bellini, Nordic Knots, Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret\"\n            />\n            <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover__caption\">\n                <svg class=\"icon icon-expand image-thumbnail-rollover__caption-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-expand\"></use>\n            </svg>            </div>\n        </div>\n\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\"><em>The central installation, featuring works by Virgil Abloh, Harry Nuriev of Crosby Studios, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Mario Bellini, Nordic Knots, Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret</em></figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Featured installations and projects on view will include:</p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>The H Seating System, presented by Si Vis Pacem by Stefon Diggs, who calls it &ldquo;a symbol of the beginning of everything&hellip; the first piece we ever made,&rdquo; with a modular design symbolic of the brand&rsquo;s communal spirit</span></li><li><span>The limited-edition, era-defining Panton Chair in Classic Gold, presented by Vitra during celebrated designer Verner Panton&rsquo;s centennial </span></li><li><span>A selection of artworks, presented by JO-HS Gallery, from artist Drew Dominguez&rsquo;s recent series of photocollages and sculptures exploring the boundary between image and object, as well as DIY car repair culture as a subconscious aesthetic performance</span></li><li><span>An immersive installation of speakers, turntables, and amplifiers from New York-based speaker design studio and teahouse Silence Please</span></li><li><span>A display of two never-before-exhibited, large-scale paintings by the Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist and designer Joe Henry Baker, presented by PLATFORM:</span></li><li><span>The Noir edition of TheSoloist.
