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.
According to The New York Post, Pitt also picked up a hollow white marble rococo-style table by Dutch designer Jeroen Verhoeven from London-based Carpenter's Workshop Gallery for $293,000; two Ron Arad chairs from New York-based gallery Sebastian + Barquet; and a rug made of aluminum thread from New York dealer Cristina Grajales, which sells for $175 a square foot.
The Miami edition of the design fair will take place December 5-8.
