Design Miami is the global forum that brings together the most influential dealers, collectors, designers, curators and critics from around the world in celebration of design culture and commerce. Inspired by the galvanizing effect of Art Basel Miami Beach, the founders of Design Miami set out to create a design fair unlike any other that came before.
Design Miami/ is the global forum that brings together the most influential dealers, collectors, designers, curators and critics from around the world in celebration of design culture and commerce. Inspired by the galvanizing effect of Art Basel Miami Beach, the founders of Design Miami/ set out to create a design fair unlike any other that came before.
They envisioned a new commercial and cultural forum that would capture the thriving general interest in design and elevate appreciation for limited-edition, experimental and historically significant design work, presented within an energetic, visually striking environment. No other design fair had ever attempted such a feat. From its inception, Design Miami/ was intended to be more than just a marketplace for high-end design.Two unique shows are held each year: Design Miami/, every December in Miami, and Design Miami/ Basel every June in Basel, Switzerland.
This year marks the fifth edition of Design Miami, from December 1 to 5, with the world’s most prominent design galleries presenting contemporary and historic work. Design Miami’s award-winning Temporary Structure returns with an innovative, new façade designed by architects Aranda\Lasch. Located in the vibrant Miami Design District, the structure will transform a coconut palm lot into a cutting-edge exhibition space for limited-edition design.
