Through Basic.Space, a curated online marketplace, three limited-edition and numbered products from the Virgil Abloh c/o Vitra collection will be available for purchase exclusively within North America. The collaborative drop is being shared through a digital storefront and the experience is being bolstered by a livestream and a special DJ music performance by Pedro Cavaliere from a six-day pop-up installation in Miami's Design District.
The Virgil Abloh c/o Vitra: US Edition is an exploration of the need for inclusivity in design and it taps into "the new mindset of Generation 'Next' – a forward-thinking psychographic that transcends age, gender, race, ethnicity and income." In the collection, there's a Ceramic Block, the Petite Potence lamp and the Antony armchair, all of which have been crafted in a baby blue color.
