Design Miami/ marks its 20th anniversary with a curated selection of 70 exhibitors. The theme Make. Believe. frames design as a space of fantastical projection, where imagination meets craft. Among the highlights, Victoria Yakusha unites four Ukrainian figures across design, fashion, science, and art. “Not merely a collection of objects, but a reminder that light persists even when the world trembles,” she reflects.

Portland-based artist Katie Stout enlivens the Miami Design District with Gargantua’s Thumb, a series of large-scale whimsical benches. Shaped like a dog, a whale and other playful characters, the functional pieces began as clay sculptures before being digitally enlarged and milled in durable materials. The playful forms encourage visitors to pause, smile, and settle in comfortably.

Known for transforming historical venues into dynamic showcases for cutting-edge design, Alcova returns to the Miami River Inn, the city’s oldest hotel. The pastel-coloured 1908 Victorian boarding house hosts site-specific works engaging timber interiors and shaded courtyards. Franck Genser blends carved alabaster, sculptural geometry, and luminescent ambience.

Pininfarina 3D-prints discarded tyres into an expressive pavilion bridging emotion and computation. Highlights include works by Objects of Common Interest, Laufen x Roberto Sironi, SoMad x David Aliperti, Dace Suña, Piccoli Smalti, and more. Alcova once again demonstrates how design thrives when architecture sets the tone—becoming an active, atmospheric companion rather than a neutral backdrop.
Moooi at The Standard Spa
Lobby installation until December 7, 40 Island Avenue, Miami Beach.
Visual by Moooi.
Moooi partners with The Standard Spa to transform five suites into immersive, sensory environments. In the lobby, the Dutch lifestyle brand introduces the Introvert Chair—Robbie Williams’s debut furniture design. “The seat is designed as a soothing place for introspection within a public setting, reflecting the artist’s exploration of emotion and creative sanctuary,” Moooi explains.

Renovated by Laura Gonzales, the Cartier flagship debuts a new façade by Diller Scofidio + Renfro. Undulating glass catches changing light, producing a gentle rhythm of motion. A delicate pattern derived from a 1909 Cartier brooch appears and fades with sunlight. The result is an inviting interplay between interior and exterior, softening boundaries with elegance.

The Future Perfect opens its first Miami outpost inside Villa Paula, Little Haiti’s storied 1920s residence. Works by Bower Studios, Autumn Casey, Chen Chen & Kai Williams, Chris Wolston, and Floris Wubben integrate seamlessly into rooms often described as among the city’s most haunted. Together, they create a dialogue between contemporary craft and atmospheric historic architecture.

Untitled Art Fair returns to the sands of Miami Beach with over 160 international galleries and non-profits, many exploring how power, conflict, and memory shape both public and personal narratives. Charles Marmol’s demolished Tesla stands out as a symbolic act of defiance against big business and billionaires. Camilo Restrepo arranges 300 kilos of dung to look like seized cocaine, highlighting Colombia’s traumatic drug-war legacy.

Pilar Zeta presents The Observer Effect on the beach at The Shelborne by Proper Hotel. Her iridescent, monumental installation guides visitors through symbolic portals where light and colour “fuse the self, nature, and architectural space.” The work balances the tangible and the mystical, echoing Zeta’s signature blend of philosophy, symbolism, and postmodern architectural language.
Andaz Miami Beach

We Are Ona joins Andaz Miami Beach and designer Sabine Marcelis to present a multi-day culinary experience, offering one of the week’s most memorable encounters during Miami Art Week 2025. Marcelis pairs her refined aesthetic with a José Andrés Group menu, while SolidNature crafts custom stone tables. Bocci’s lighting enriches her ongoing exploration of transparency and tactile depth.
