Partner & Special Project Highlights/
​ ​This year saw a special entrance wall piece by Nifemi Marcus-Bello, titled Omi Iyo, received the Curator’s Award - a first for Design Miami/ - selected by Curatorial Director Anna Carnick. The work was conceived in response to the dangerous journey of undocumented migrants from Africa to Europe. Representing the hull of a boat, the stainless steel work appears as a solid mass, but in fact is filled with salt that, over the course of the fair week, flowed continuously to the ground from a small opening at the sculpture’s base. The work was presented by LA-based Marta Gallery, which presented a Curio at the fair spotlighting other works by Marcus-Bello.

Villa Albertine and the Mobilier National presented an exhibition curated by Alban Roger with an immersive installation by Atelier d'Offard, which showcased the work of five rising stars of the French design scene: Atelier George, Atelier d’Offard, Chloé Bensahel, Gala Espel, and Dimitry Hlinka. The presentation was awarded Best Special Project. ​

​Maestro Dobel Tequila returned to Design Miami/ for its third consecutive year as the Official Tequila partner of the fair - presenting the latest thematic of its Artpothecary platform: Oaxaca: A Lens on Tradition & Innovation. Alejandra Martinez, Artpothecary Creative Director and Anónimo Colectivo founder, alongside Oaxaca-based artists Marissa Naval of NAVAL Arquitectura and Javier Reyes of rrres Studio, curated a space that honored the region’s rich heritage, traditions, and contemporary craftsmanship through an intimate and collaborative experience. The combination of the artists’ works, and a selection of smooth Maestro Dobel Tequila cocktails specifically created in homage to the region, offered an immersive experience reminiscent of Oaxaca. ​

​Kohler Co., in collaboration with award-winning British artist and designer Dr. Samuel Ross and his industrial design studio SR_A, unveiled a breakthrough limited-edition Kohler x SR_A Formation 01 faucet at Design Miami/ 2023. Ross’s avant-garde artistic approach, combined with Kohler’s 150-year legacy of innovation and craftsmanship has resulted in a boundary-pushing design, transforming daily engagement with water solutions. The new limited-edition faucet is cast as one singular, sculptural object, as opposed to traditional finish plating processes.
