Space defines itself as bridging the gap between the "familiarity of a department store" and the "world-class culture of an art and design fair".

There will be a number of exclusives available too, among them an original gas station that was designed by Jean Prouvé in 1969."Originally designed by Jean Prouvé for the oil company Total, this gas station represents the pinnacle of his ability to merge design, innovation, and structural efficiency," the fair's release reads.
