Founded in 2020, Amsterdam-based Mia Karlova Galerie made several standout appearances at some of the world’s most preeminent design fairs this year. In October, the gallery presented at PAD Paris 2024 with an environmentally motivated display featuring seven artists, including Sho Ota, Vadim Kibardin, and Andriy Voznick. Just one month later, the gallery mounted a show at Salon Art + Design New York, showing a selection of its roster, including Jordi Sarrate and Olga Engel.

 

A growing tastemaker in the fast-growing intersection between art and design, the gallery’s program aims to champion functional art pieces. “We surround ourselves with objects that bring us the pleasure of contemplation,” founder Mia Karlova wrote on her gallery’s website. Within just four years, it has generated attention by working intimately with each artist to coproduce design objects from their initial sketches to their final iterations.
