Mobile
Art

Among all the crazy Art Basel events that meshed art, design, fashion and music together the best concept this year was the mobile art. Marc Newson contributed his design genius again, this time on a limited edition Riva mini yacht based concept, which I guess has been out for a while, but was exhibited this past week for Art Basel at the most fabulous low key party of the week. An intimate affair with great music at the Standard’s backyard with Dom Pérignon and (the very acqua) Newson’s Aquariva docked and ready to be taken for a ride... Masterpiece on water.

On the opposite spectrum of the $1.5 million boat, was the Shop Ride mobile vintage & designer store I encountered in the Design District, something I have not seen before. Love the concept… let the shop come to you.
