Deon Rubi | Minimalist Sculpture & Furniture Design Studio

Deon Rubi, born Lucila Garcia de Onrubia, is a multidisciplinary artist and designer working at the intersection of sculpture, furniture, and wearable art. With a presence in both Miami, Florida, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, her creative practice is defined by a minimalist approach and a commitment to simple constructions. She frequently describes her design philosophy as the 'path of least resistance,' focusing on the innate qualities of materials like metal, glass, and acrylic. Rubi's portfolio spans a diverse range of scales, from massive public art installations and site-specific furniture to delicate handcrafted jewelry and clothing. Her work has been showcased at prestigious international venues including the Vitra Design Museum, MALBA, and Art Basel Miami Beach. By repurposing industrial scraps and exploring geometric forms, Deon Rubi challenges the boundaries between functional objects and fine art, creating pieces that are both tactile and visually soothing. Her collaborations with galleries like Tile Blush and Adorno highlight her influence in the contemporary design world, where she continues to produce objects that reference the past while looking toward the future. Each piece reflects her background in production design, emphasizing the physical relationship between the object and the viewer.
