"How One Fair And One Woman Are Changing The World Of Design" by Abigail R. Esman - Blouin Art Info, 02/07/2015
"That Design Miami/Basel recorded its largest attendance to date this year — reportedly including Philippe Segalot and Tracy Emin — says more about the event’s importance than first might come to mind: because as designgrows in popularity (and value), the awareness of design, as both a practice and as an integral, meaningful part of our lives, widens its reach around the world.
And that means that lives, even cultures, change... ....Few people can attest to this better than Lebanese designer Karen Chekerdjian, whose poetic, sculptural, and ever-fascinating furnishings accessories and objets have made her not just one of my own favorite contemporary designers, but a star in her native Beirut. And the light around her is growing brighter."
