Untapped’s editor-in-chief, Tiffany Jow, joined critic Christopher Hawthorne and architectural design professor and YouTuber Stewart Hicks for a conversation at Speaker’s Corner, an installation in the Arsenale at the Venice Architecture Biennale developed by Florencia Rodriguez, Johnston Marklee, and Hawthorne.

We kicked off the third season of the New York Architecture + Design Book Club with A Book of Things (Lars Müller Publishers), a monograph on designer Jasper Morrison, updated and expanded ten years after its initial publication. Nick Olney, director of Kasmin Gallery—which gave Jasper his first North American solo gallery exhibition, in 2019—and Jonathan Olivares, SVP of design at Knoll, spoke about their long-time relationship with the designer, who was undoubtedly there in spirit. 

Together with Friedman Benda in New York, Untapped organized a program to celebrate the opening of “Formation,” the first U.S. gallery exhibition by the Milan-based studio Formafantasma. Its founders, Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin, began the evening with a walk-through of the show, which focuses on the relationship between furniture, the home, and the concept of the archetype in design. It was followed by a conversation, led by our editor-in-chief, Tiffany Jow, about “Formation”’s core ideas, and by extension, the core ideas driving Formafantasma’s distinct practice.
