## Design works

One of his solo design exhibitions 'From Projects to Products' of his body of works took place in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and another at Otto Gallery Bologna, Italy, curated by Paola Antonelli, curator of Museum of Modern Art, New York and at Gallery Ammann, Cologne, Germany.
In 2014, Pakhalé was selected as one of ten Must-See Artists-Designers at Miami Art Week 2014 for ‘Design at Fairchild – Satyendra Pakhale’ exhibition at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, Coral Gables, Florida.
