Curated by Thom Browne, this year’s Design at Large programme at Design Miami/ Basel comprises a large-scale piece from the fashion designer’s A/W 2014 menswear show set, alongside a retrospective of desk designs (right)
The retrospective of statement desk designs is coupled with a choreographed performance focusing on young design students and their creative responses to the installation

The 15 desks in the exhibition are displayed in a strict grid-like pattern facing the installation, forming an interesting juxtaposition with the more conceptual scene
