As an interior designer that works across the United States, I am typically only in Miami during Art Basel & Design Miami. I typically go for material inspiration, with clients to select art and to see vendors and friends. This time of the year Miami pulls the greatest creative minds and buyers from across the United States and abroad, providing a platform to discover art and home goods as art, and even jewelry as art. Many of the galleries have parties for their collectors. Fendi has a Miami store location and they throw a great party… Navigating the invites, calendar, driving, crowds at Soho House and the traffic is nuts… but once you get a hang of it it’s fun. I mean who would ever forget the first time at Art Basel you got to see behind the scenes of a James Turell? Next time you are at Art Basel & Design Miami consider visiting some of these great places too:
