The iconic Fish Chair is the protagonist of the outdoor installation on the occasion of “Design at Fairchild – Satyendra Pakhalé” opened during the Design Miami / 10th Anniversary.

Multi-faceted designer Satyendra Pakhalé, represented by the ammann//gallery has been invited by curator Cristina Grajales for the Design at Fairchild exhibition at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables, Florida.

Satyendra Pakhalé’s iconic Fish Chair in limited edition in intense viola specially produced by Cappellini on this occasion is the protagonist of the outdoor installation. The Fish Chair as a sitting object and sensorial sculpture invites the visitors to take a rest and enjoy the opulent tropical surroundings of the Fairchild Garden.

Pakhalé says, “While visiting Fairchild Garden for the first time I was fascinated to see the tropical setting – especially those vividly colorful butterflies which made me feel like home. With the Fish Chair Limited Edition in ‘viola’ I intend to place an equally intense color into the liveliness and opulence of this natural ambience.”

Pakhalé’s design pieces are characterized by a sensorial design language with a cultural content synthesizing new applications of materials and technologies which invite people to experience them in multiple ways rekindling an explorative attitude. His creations tickle the imagination of the audience and create an optimistic ambience through their cheerful nature. In doing so the exhibition transforms the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden into a wondering jungle full of curious sensorial sculptures.
