Design Miami/ is the global forum for design. Each fair brings together the most influential collectors, gallerists, designers, curators, and critics from around the world in celebration of design culture and commerce. Occurring alongside the Art Basel fairs in Miami, Florida, each December and Basel, Switzerland, each June, Design Miami/ has become the premier venue for collecting, exhibiting, discussing, and creating collectible design.

In addition to its distinguished gallery program presenting 34 design galleries from around the world, Design Miami/ offers an extensive series of Collaborations, Satellites, events, retail and hospitality offerings as well as site-specific design commissions for visitors to enjoy throughout the fair week.
This year’s presentation builds on the past success of programs as well as introduces new projects. An exhibition space within the fair will be dedicated to honoring the recipient of the 2017 Panerai Design Miami/ Visionary Award, Mwabwindo School, which will serve primary school students in rural Zambia. The space will also provide visitors the opportunity to donate towards funding one year of operations. And at the fair’s entrance, visitors can contemplate in an inspired, oval green space created by West 8 Landscape Architects outfitted with 101 wooden logs recycled from the recent Irma storm.
The temporary park installation assembles the atmosphere of the future park to come. Over the next year, West 8 Landscape Architects in collaboration with Fentress Architects and the City of Miami Beach are developing the design to transform the current parking lot into a public park for residents and guests to celebrate and enjoy South Florida’s weather outdoors, yearround.
The Schedule includes Design Talks, Special Events, Satellite Exhibitions, Collaborations, and More.
Among the guest stars: FENDI, Audi, Maison Perrier Jouet, Airbnb, Louis Vuitton and many many more!
