Calvin Klein just unveiled its inaugural installation at Design Miami/Basel 2018. Curated by Raf Simons, the installation showcases Feltri armchairs created by Italian designer Gaetano Pesce for high-end furniture imprint Cassina, upholstered with premium heirloom quilts dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries. The armchairs are beautifully placed around a barn, built with reclaimed wood and walls papered with billboard-scale visuals of artwork by Andy Warhol.

Armchairs numbered 1-50 will be available for purchase at the fair while the remaining 50-100 will be released through Cassina at a later date. View the installation above and head over to Design Miami/ Basel 2018’s official website to learn more. The fair will launch on June 12 up until June 17.
