Design Miami/ 2012

The eighth edition of Design Miami/, the global forum for design, will return to Miami Beach, Florida, US.

This year’s program will see a 25% increase in galleries, representing both emerging and iconic design works from around the globe. The fair’s rigorous selection process ensures Design Miami’s ability to track and showcase the world’s most significant and groundbreaking furniture, lighting and objet d’art year after year.

For 2012, Design Miami/ will expand its geographic reach by featuring galleries from previously unrepresented countries including Israel and Germany. The show will offer a strong focus on historic and contemporary American design.

“This year’s edition will once again prove that Design Miami/ remains the world’s leading fair dedicated to twentieth and twenty-first century design,” says Marianne Goebl, Director of Design Miami/. “We continue to support the vital relationship between patrons and creative’s by offering a one-of-a-kind meeting place and community for both.”

Visitors to Design Miami/ will be welcomed by Drift, a pavilion created by New York-based collaborative studio Snarkitecture. A floating environment comprised of massive inflatable tubes, Drift resembles a topographical landscape in suspension: an ascending mountain above and an excavated cavern below.

Design Miami/ will run from Wednesday 5 – Sunday 9 December 2012 at Miami Beach, Florida, US.
