Unique Design X Group – a nomadic, female-founded commercial platform that celebrates the beauty of art, collectible design and the vibrant community of artists and galleries that bring it to life – will host Unique Design X Savannah 2023 from Wednesday, May 31 through Sunday, June 4 at the Kehoe Ironworks Building at Trustees’ Garden, located at 660 E. Broughton Street, in Savannah, Georgia. The boutique art and design fair will be open to the public from noon to 7 p.m. daily.
Unique Design X Savannah @ Trustees' Garden 2023 will feature work by a carefully selected lineup of 20 exceptional artists and designers, alongside their representative galleries. The five-day event will showcase an impressive selection of Asian and African contemporary collectible design, highlighting the diversity and creativity of these regions.
"Our vision is to combine unique perspectives with expertise in the field to provide an unforgettable experience for our audience, all the while supported by the robust art and design market," said Unique Design X founder Morgan Morris Sans, a Savannah native who currently lives in Paris. "Whether you are an experienced collector or simply looking to explore the world of collectible design, you can immerse yourself in a fresh vision of new living ideas and aesthetics at Unique Design X Savannah 2023."
Additionally, attendees can look forward to a musical experience with a special concert by Stories and Shawn Mullins on the occasion of the launch of his new album powered by Live at the Print Shop from Atlanta, a Unique Design X Savannah sponsor.
For athletically oriented creatives, Unique Design X Savannah will offer the Skate-Able Object Park by Yinka Ilori, an internationally renowned artist from Nigeria.
"Our mission is to cultivate a salon where functional art, collectible design, and skate cultures intersect harmoniously, inspiring innovation, creativity, and multicultural exchanges," Morris Sans added. "Our mission is to champion diversity and cross-pollination of ideas within the art and design world while also prioritizing sustainability. We are committed to promoting eco-friendly practices within the creative industry and strive to showcase creators who prioritize sustainable materials and production methods."
