Lots of eclectic, clean design at Design Miami
Went to the premier of Design Miami yesterday, which was a premier event for the press. The main event opens today on South Beach as part of Art Basel week. The large Design Miami tent is located across from the Convention Center.
We were welcomed with champagne and heard the line up for the week. There are lots of presentations along with the new designs from around the world. Even Martha Stewart will be present on Friday to give a little talk about design.
This is the Volume Gallery from Chicago.
Design Miami is more about furniture and furnishings rather than typical art in the form of paintings and sculptures although there are a lot of interesting pieces that can fall into the sculpture category. This lamp was one of my favorite pieces.
Design Miami is open every day through Sunday, December 8, 2013.
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. Design Miami/ has become the premier venue for collecting, exhibiting, discussing and creating collectible design. For more information, please visit www.designmiami.com andwww.designmiamilog.com.

The interesting component of this Fair is that it showcases functional, everyday objects beautifully designed rather than just decorative (painting, prints, etc.). These objects have to, not only be beautiful, but have to function well.
Miami is becoming not only a force in the visual arts, it's also becoming a leader in design.
