A Must-See in the Miami Design District, Katie Stout: Gargantua’s Thumb - located throughout the neighborhood, Miami, Florida 33137. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Miami Design District’s Annual Design Commission, Katie Stout transforms the neighborhood with “Gargantua’s Thumb”, a series of sculptural benches that merge function, fantasy, and play. Stout brings a fantastical cast of furniture to life, including a dog and whale-shaped bench. Each piece begins as a small, hand-sculpted clay animal that is later digitally scanned and enlarged, encouraging people to rest, explore, and engage with their surroundings. Suspended from the trees, clusters of colorful orbs inspired by flora and fauna motifs transform the streets into a whimsical world of motion and wonder.
