Looking for a creative way of honoring this year’s edition that didn’t end up happening, Salon art and Design‘s team sought a way of recreating themselves and still give the inspiration as the collectible designer‘s admirers are so used to. Meeting the expectation of the entire audience, this digital magazine: The Salon–The Intersection Of Art & Design released during the month of November, seeks to translate the DNA of the show into a collectible, thoughtful publication that celebrates its exhibitors, collectors, and guests.

When we knew that there could be no live salon this year, we looked for other ways to further our platform and meet our exhibitors’ needs. I had spent 20 years as a magazine publisher and been very sorry about the fate of the print media that had played such an outsize role in American culture for over a century. It occurred to me that there might be a kind of retro-chic in producing a magazine, and we moved forward with the idea. It seemed that in this moment of evanescence, people liked the idea of a beautiful object entering their homes, being displayed and referred to overtime. Hence, salon – the intersection of art and design.’

This is an utter masterpiece for art furniture lovers!
