It makes sense that Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert was chosen for Design Miami given the great number of clients who are USA-based collectors. “We sell a lot overseas,” says Dan-Cuthbert. “We have already placed clients in very important collections in America so obviously people are seeing our work over there, which explains why Miami.” She believes collectors are increasingly drawn to Antipodean artists and designers as part of a hunt for “new names”. Thanks to its geographical isolation, Australia can offer this, with social media creating the connect. “A lot of this is people reaching out to us, coming across us on Instagram or our website,” the director confirms.
