In recent years the organisation of the Weihnachts Sammler Börse has observed that a mostly younger public of the fair is especially interested in design. This has led to a continuous increase of the number of traders offering design objects at the event. Therefore they have decided to dedicate a separate section of the Antique and Collectors' Items Fair to 20th century design. This year for the first time the Design Forum Zurich will be held for two days, on the 10th and the 11th of December 2011 (Saturday and Sunday). The Design Forum Zurich is both visually and spatially separate from the rest of the fair, but can be attended with the regular fair admission ticket.
Entrance:
CHF. 15 (for the entire Weihnachts Sammler Börse). CHF. 7,50 Children under 16

The offering of museum-quality design from more than 40 participating galleries is a testament to the fair's status as the pre-eminent biannual event for the global design community, in large part due to the rigorous standards of the fair's proposal-based gallery selection process.
This year's returning exhibitors from Europe, the United States, and Asia: Carpenters Workshop Gallery, Dansk Møbelkunst Gallery, David Gill Galleries, Demisch Danant, Galerie Downtown-François Laffanour, Galerie kreo, Galerie Patrick Seguin, Galerie Perrin, Galerie Pierre-Marie Giraud, Gallery Seomi, Hostler Burrows, Johnson Trading Gallery, Jousse Entreprise, Mitterand+Cramer, Nilufar Gallery, R 20th Century, and VIVID Gallery, among many other prestigious galleries.

Galerie Ulrich Fiedler, another first time exhibitor, is a Berlin-based gallery known for 20th century work with a specialization in the Bauhaus period. Finally, Modernity from Stockholm offers vintage high quality 20th century design with a particular emphasis on Italian and Scandinavian designers.
Following their successful commission from Design Miami/ in December 2010, New York-based architects Aranda\Lasch will create an innovative interior layout for Design Miami/ Basel, which abandons the typical trade show grid in favor of a nontraditional ‘scatter' pattern. This ingenious design concept, which encourages guests to explore and engage with the fair's unique geography in entirely new ways, will have its Design Miami/ Basel debut at June's show.
Design Miami/ Basel 2011 confirms once again that it is the only fair of its kind. Both serious in its curatorial intent and in its playful desire to challenge established notions, Design Miami/ Basel is an essential calendar fixture for the best international galleries, collectors, designers, critics, and curators.

The move from the Markthalle, where Design Miami/Basel has exhibited the last two years, offers not only more floor space for the expanding fair, but also a more integrated experience for the tens of thousands of visitors who come to the city for both Design Miami/Basel and Art Basel, and who will now benefit from both fairs' great proximity.
MCH Group CEO René Kamm commented; “MCH Group is very happy with the success of the investment in Design Miami/ and recognizes it as a terrific complement to Art Basel. To bring Design Miami/Basel into walking distance to our Exhibition Square will offer collectors, exhibitors and our guests an even more dynamic and rich experience”.
