SOFA, the Sculptural Object Function Art and Design Fair, is held annually in the fall at Chicago’s Navy Pier. Approximately 80 international art dealers with one-of a kind three-dimensional fine art, decorative art and design pieces display their masterpieces. As designers, this is a great event for sourcing artwork for clients and serves as inspiration to the creative industry.
Since I can only share so many images on Instagram before flooding your feed, I thought best to share my favorite pieces from the show here…
