In a timber-lined booth encrusted with oats, Brazilian designers Fernando and Humberto Campana presented oatmeal bowls: one made from terracotta and another cast in bronze. <br /><br />Humberto spoke of the brothers' work with children in Brazil's favelas: "Me and my brother teach primary school kids to work with their hands, making things from the leftover materials around them -- things like slats of wood and plastic toys. The workshops give them self-esteem and show them that there are other possibilities."

Gallerist Patrick Parrish teamed with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Self-Assembly Lab and Christophe Guberan to present the Lab's Rapid Liquid Printing technology to Design Miami visitors. Exhibited for the first time, a robotic arm prints silicone rubber tote bags in a glass tank of translucent gel displayed in the center of the space. After printing, each bag is removed, cleaned, and put on display.

Lindsey Adelman exhibited an intricate kinetic lighting installation informed by the writings of theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli. Adelman believes the processes her studio applies to design work can also be applied to the way we discuss differences in political opinion: "I think it's about human-to-human interaction. Opinions may not be as solid as one assumes. We need to ask how can we influence them without being combative," she said.

At Belgian gallery Maniera's booth, Indian architect Bijoy Jain's furniture collection touched upon the housing crisis in India. <br /><br />"The bricks reference the huge housing problem in India," said gallery co-founder Amaryllis Jacobs. "He wanted to use bricks as they are made from earth -- a material that is accessible to everyone. Bijoy is actually working on a personal project: an easy-to-build small housing module that is affordable but isn't lacking in comfort."
