W Hotels Worldwide has unveiled the works of the 2011 W Hotels Designers of the Future during Design Miami/ Basel. Award winners include Asif Khan, Mischer’Traxler, and Studio Juju, who have developed three distinct works based on the theme “Conversation Pieces.” Asif Khan turns foaming bubbles into an architectural yet whimsical element of design, while Studio Juju constructs a social space where people can convene. Mischer’Traxler creates conversation by using mirrors that work only when two or more people stand in front of them.
The winners of last year’s W Hotels Designer of the Future Awards-Beta Tank, Graham Hudson, rAndom International, and Zigelbaum + Coelho-have been active with their work for W. They traveled to W locations across the globe during key design weeks, setting up on-site installations at W Barcelona and W Doha, as well as showcasing their work during Istanbul Design week.
