“We will emphasize the ongoing evolution of collectible design, showcasing the greatest minds of design today, and unveiling the processes driving design forward.”
Make. Believe. The 20th anniversary of Design Miami is a momentous occasion: a chance to reflect on our heritage, and even more importantly, where we are going. In its two decades, the fair has become an essential platform for celebrating the design avant-garde across the ages. Unrivaled in its convening power, it exerts a gravitational effect on the whole field. Our theme—Make. Believe. is intended to capture that achievement.
