GONE at USM Modular Furniture (2024)

Head of Creative, Design, Art Direction, Curator, and Contributing Artist

Sponsors: USM Modular Furniture, Nike, Topo Chico, and Clase Azul

GONE, curated by Roosi, explores introspection and connection through paintings, sculptures, and an inventive use of USM Modular Furniture. Transforming USM’s SoHo showroom into a shrine-like space, the exhibition blends art and design, with floral artist Naoko de Oliveira Yoshii setting a sacred yet unsettling atmosphere.

Artists including Eri Wakiyama, Asif Hoque, Diana Alvarado, Eny Lee Parker, Leon Xu, Matthew Zagada, and more contributed works exploring identity, heritage, and memory. Daniel Arsham also debuted The USM Veiled Console Chair in the U.S.

With over 1,000 attendees on opening night, along with appearances by Steve Aoki, Devin Booker, and Kid Cudi, GONE became both an exhibition and a sanctuary for reflection.
