Design Miami/ is an international decorative arts and design platform that presents live fairs on four continents, showcasing design elements and furniture from all over the world. Along with its online shop, the company provides a diverse and unique marketplace for collectors and design enthusiasts to not only acquire work but also learn about the global culture of design and its contemporary trends. At their Design District location, Molteni&C staged an artistic intervention by Brazilian-American artist Claudia Vieira. Titled 'Drawing Spaces', the live art installation saw Vieira create a site-specific, meditative artwork over a day on 30 November. The artist drew her signature continuous lines across the spaces of the showroom (including walls, ceilings, windows and floors), as well as on some of Molteni&C's most iconic pieces, from Jasper Morrison’s Tea dining chairs to Vincent Van Duysen’s VVD kitchen.
— Design Miami/ 2023 Highlights
The other big story in Miami last week was the arrival of Alcova, the independent design exhibition that has made a name for itself with its edgy, experimental Milan editions each spring. For its first international version, Alcova took over the Selina Miami Gold Dust, a 1950s-era three-storey roadside motel with a courtyard swimming pool. Luxury auto brand Lexus led the charge with a special installation at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami. Envisioned by Dutch solar designer Marjan van Aubel, “8 Minutes and 20 Seconds” captured solar energy by day to deliver a bright spectacle by night. This is especially apparent in South Beach, where Ocean Drive presents a long row of art deco hotels splashed in pastel shades and illuminated by bright neon signage. As we enter the holidays, a few of those buildings have even decorated their patios with life-sized statues of Santa dressed in beach shirts and sipping cocktails out of coconut shells.
Design Miami 2022: highlights from the fair and around town
Reflecting the gallery’s devotion to spotlighting design based on the natural world, the presentation features a collective of artists that champion innovative, sustainable, and restorative practices. Perhaps most striking is Angela Damman's eco-contemporary chandelier handcrafted with sansevieria plant fiber, which looms over two hairy blonde sisal fiber benches by Fernando Laposse. The fashion brand returns with its annual experimental project, this time with Austrian artist Lukas Gschwandtner, a move away from its usual designer collaboration. This year’s commission – Triclinium by Lukas Gschwandtner and Fendi – brings the fashion house’s home city of Rome to Miami beach with the Vienna-based artist creating canvas sculptures inspired by female figures.
Key Milan design week installations
SCOPE Art Show Miami Beach 2023 will be held at Ocean Drive and 8th Street on South Beach, from December 5th — 10th, 2023.

Featuring over 130 works, this presentation is conceptualized as a meditation on anticipation and expectation—the invisible part of a work, commonly imperceptible to the viewer. Created in partnership with USM Modular Furniture, a 9-foot-tall display case, composed of ” glass cubes with darkened posterior walls creates an immersive enclosure, concealing an internal exhibition space. Each year in late November, designers of all stripes pack up their studio practices and migrate south.
"There's always been so much connectivity between Design Miami and the design district," Robins told Dezeen. Both of the primary showrooms for the events will be sited on the Miami Beach Convention Center grounds, with a variety of satellite events, performances and galleries showcasing work in the area. The Best Curio Presentation Award has been given to Raise the Moral, the LA-based studio of Moral Turgeman specialized in sensorial and experiential design. It’s a nice reminder for the team who have endured a tough time so far in 2024, that they are serial winners and have every chance of returning to the top again one day.
Visionnaire’s first NFT project was on display at the brand’s Miami Embassy, demonstrating Visionnaire’s approach to luxury that combines traditional craftsmanship and the digital age. Art Basel and Parley for the Oceans are announcing their collaboration at Art Basel Miami Beach this year, calling for support to address the devastating impacts of climate change, plastic pollution, and biodiversity loss on marine ecosystems and coastal communities. This year will mark the beginning of a long-term partnership between the non-profit and the fair, who together aim to inspire long-term positive change for our ecosystem and the protection of the oceans. Together, they will launch Art for the Oceans, a fundraising initiative that will see Parley’s Global Cleanup Network collect 1 lb of plastic for every $1 donated through the program. Alcova’s co-founders said that they selected a motel for the show’s venue in part because the building represents a quintessentially Miami archetype. On the shoreline behind Faena Hotel Miami Beach, Chilean artist Sebastian Errazuriz built a spectacular sand maze.
Offering a moment of meditation in the design fair environment is a modern hammam by Beirut-based designer Nada Debs, made using sustainable tiles from Wisconsin-based brand Kohler’s WasteLab. Tapping into the idea of rebirth and rejuvenation via materials, the immersive experience links to the idea of the ‘Golden Age’ for humanity. 'Debs has a great sensibility in realising a new tile with the WasteLab of Kohler, underlining once again the commitment of both designer and company regarding sustainability,' says Didero. To amplify the importance of ocean conservation, an augmented reality installation ‘The Art in Earth’ will transform Eden Roc Miami Beach into an immersive and ever-changing canvas. The display teleport visitors to oceans around the world, once still satellite images are activated with Art House technology. Prints of these aerial ocean scenes will be available at the event, with proceeds benefiting the PangeaSeed Foundation, a Hawaii-based, internationally engaged nonprofit organization acting to further ocean conservation.

Design Miami/ announces gallery list for its inaugural Paris fair this October
This wasn’t Ross’s only big Miami project, either — he was also behind Formation 01, a sculptural Kohler faucet unveiled at Design Miami/. Made of Neolast (a proprietary composite) in an attention-grabbing orange, the angular fixture is limited to an edition of just 299. That said, don’t mistake the city’s weeklong program of art and design events for a celebration of empty visual excess. Instead, Miami Art Week 2023 demonstrated thoughtful focus on a new breed of sustainable whimsy.
In addition to the main exhibition, Design Miami/ 2023 will feature a number of curated shows and special events. Design Miami/ will be held at Convention Center Drive & 19th Street, Miami Beach, from December 6th — 10th, 2023. Untitled Art, a contemporary art fair held on the sands of Miami Beach, will return for its 2023 edition.
The 19th iteration of Design Miami, the city’s leading design fair, kicked off on Tuesday with more than 50 stands dedicated to furniture, homewares, ceramics and more. Among the earliest events of Miami Art Week, the fair’s opening day was busy with dealers and collectors weaving through the stands. This year’s theme, Where We Stand, spotlights narrative-driven designs that are socially engaged, according to the fair’s curatorial director, Anna Carnick. IKEA is set to make its inaugural appearance at Art Basel Miami with the introduction of IKEA Open House Miami. The beloved Swedish design company is taking over a former nightclub on Miami Beach for an experiential activation. This event will see a complete transformation of the space, guiding visitors through a comprehensive showcase of IKEA‘s diverse range, spanning from storage to food.
Handcrafted objects come together in a domestic setting for the South African gallery’s showcase. The New York gallery Friedman Benda is showing a chair dripping in chains by the Mexican architect Frida Escobedo, who was behind the new modern and contemporary galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Her Creek Chair (2022) is inspired by the flow of water and the work of the late Cuban American artist Ana Mendieta, who explored themes involving water in her video work. Art and nostalgia collide at PLAY by American Express Platinum, a unique interactive gallery returning to Miami during Art Week this year. In partnership with PlayLab, Inc. and Mattel Creations, the gallery will showcase reimagined iconic toys as limited edition collectibles alongside art pieces from artists like Salehe Bembury, Eny Lee Parker, Surin Kim, Serban Ionescu, and Kumkum Fernando. Platinum Card® and Centurion® Members and their guests can immerse themselves in a world of creativity and childhood memories.
Designed to lead to a central nucleus envisioned as a kind of public plaza, the installation was the rare urban intervention that was as compelling in person as it looked online. Its large walls and occasional openings framed the ocean and the city skyline in interesting new ways, while its construction was refreshingly low-cost. (Each of the walls was made of plywood boards that were painted grey and then splashed in sand while still wet.) Watching kids and adults alike emerge from the maze’s corridors into the central clearing made for a refreshing showcase of community space. Appliance company Kohler's WasteLAB division has teamed up with artist Nada Debs to create a custom hammam spa at Design Miami.
