Meet the creative vanguard pushing furniture, design, and ceramics forward.
At this year’s Design Miami, one exhibit in particular took center stage—that of the the multi-hyphenate creative Samuel Ross.

Black design talent has always been present in history, yet, all too often, great creatives have been gatekept from elite institutions and accolades due to racism, ignorance, and eurocentrism. Thankfully, times are changing, and this Black History Month, we’re reflecting on the Black creative vanguard defining a new age of furniture, decorative objects, and ceramics across the globe.
