If you were a design-conscious celeb and money was no object, where would you shop? A-lister Brad Pitt made the rounds at Design Miami/Basel, the third annual design event that concludes today in Basel, Switzerland.

The father of four (with twins on the way) aptly purchased two foam and reinforced fiberglass lamps by Atelier van Lieshout representing a family.

The Miami edition of the design fair will take place December 5-8.
