Design Miami announces preview highlights for inaugural Seoul event 
Under its new In Situ initiative, Design Miami presents a 14-day exhibition dedicated to Korean collectible design in collaboration with the Seoul Design Foundation 

 
July 29, 2025 - Seoul, South Korea - This September, Design Miami will present its first multi-day event under the new Design Miami.In Situ initiative, with a landmark exhibition in collaboration with the Seoul Design Foundation. Hosted at Seoul’s iconic Dongdaemun Design Plaza from September 1-14, 2025, the exhibition runs in tandem with the international art fairs, Frieze Seoul and Kiaf

Titled Illuminated: A Spotlight on Korean Design, the exhibition will present over 170 pieces of Korean design,  marking  the  first  major  international  collectible  design  event  in  the  city.  Curated  by acclaimed Korean design expert, Hyeyoung Cho, the exhibition title is inspired by the Korean word “조명 (jo-myeong)”,  meaning  “to  illuminate”.  In  a  true  celebration  of  place,  the  exhibition  will spotlight the distinctiveness of Korean design, and platform the design luminaries who have shaped the country’s collectible design landscape—from deeply local and traditional craft, to pioneering design innovations—celebrating the rich design legacy while inspiring the next generation.

A designated UNESCO City of Design, Seoul is home to an abundance of cultural heritage, and a hub for design innovation. The Dongdaemun Design Plaza, designed by Zaha Hadid, stands as an iconic landmark of the city’s vibrant design districts, offering a thoughtful setting for this inaugural Design Miami.In  Situ  exhibition.  Alongside  the  exhibition,  the  In  Situ  activation  will  also  offer  a complementary Design Talks program and VIP program, with further details to be shared shortly. 

“At Design Miami, we are committed to presenting the best in collectible design; and Seoul is home to many  celebrated  and  emerging  designers  who  have  been  so  integral  to  the  evolution  and expansion  of  this  market.  We’re  also  thrilled  to  be  activating  at  the  DDP,  which  holds  great significance  to  Design  Miami—Zaha  Hadid  received the  inaugural  Designer  of  the  Year  Award  at Design Miami’s first edition in 2005, and now, 20 years on, we are honored to present our first-ever exhibition  in  Seoul  within  one  of  her  iconic  landmarks.  We  look  forward  to  igniting  a  cultural exchange between local and international design communities in this vibrant and multifaceted city that so powerfully embodies design.” - Jen Roberts, CEO of Design Miami. 

“This Design Miami.In Situ exhibition comes at the perfect moment: when Korean culture—spanning music, food, art, design, and craft—is thriving as a global trendsetter. The exhibition will spotlight the trailblazing  designers  who  have  opened  global  doors  for  the  next  generation,  while  also embracing  the  idea  that  today,  we  are  all  global  citizens.  I  hope  that  collectors,  experts,  and enthusiasts from around the world will visit and be inspired by the rich diversity and creativity of Korean design.” - Hyeyoung Cho, Curator of Illuminated: A Spotlight on Korean Design . 

“Design Miami’s exhibition spotlighting Korean designers and their work serves as a testament to the preeminence of Korean design on the global stage. We anticipate Seoul will become a central hub leading the global discourse on design.” - Cha Kang Heui, CEO of Seoul Design Foundation
