Fourteen creatives and events to visit during Design Miami 2022
With Design Miami and Art Basel Miami Beach kicking off next week, we’ve rounded up a series of must-see installations and events, from a tequila tasting room designed by Tatiana Bilbao to a Virgil Abloh exhibition put on by Nike.
Running during Miami Art Week, Design Miami is an annual festival that attracts designers and enthusiasts around the world.
This event coincides with sister festival Art Basel Miami Beach. Both major event galleries will be held on the grounds of the Miami Beach Convention Center, with a variety of satellite events, shows and exhibitions showcasing works in the area.
“I think it’s really part of that overall equation establishing Miami as an important contributor to ushering in a global cultural dialogue,” said Craig Robbins, a real estate developer and art collector who co-founded Design Miami in 2005.
Since then, he has continued to help develop Miami’s Design District. “There’s always been a lot of connection between Design Miami and the design district,” Robbins told Dezeen.
German Barnes did this amazing installation that you can see all over [design district]So there will be a lot of energy around art and design this week, and of course, it will continue through the year.”
This year’s theme—set by Miami-based design director María Cristina Diderot—is the golden age: looking to the future.
At the dedicated Design Miami booth, a variety of talks and exhibitors will take place from November 30 to December 4 including a panel discussion with Didero, American musicians A$AP Rocky and Erykah Badu, architect Gaetano Pesce, artist Daniel Arsham, and others.
Designers, galleries and schools such as Superhouse, Future Perfect, Savannah College of Art and Design and Ippodo Gallery will also be exhibiting at Design Miami.
