Miami Art Week delivered a series of highlights across the city with a concentrated program of installations, product launches, private dinners, fragrance and design debuts, and brand-led activations. Each event contributed to a week shaped by movement between Miami Beach, the Design District, and major cultural venues, creating a clear map of the people, collaborations, and presentations that defined this year’s program.
Artist Dinner Hosted by Ferragamo & Maximilian Davis
Ferragamo Creative Director Maximilian Davis and W Magazine’s Sara Moonves opened the week on December 1 with an intimate dinner honoring ICA Miami’s exhibiting artists. Hosted at the home of Trustees Maky and Kris Hinson, the evening brought together artists including Richard Hunt, Joyce Pensato, Andreas Shulze, Masaomi Yasunaga, and Igshaan Adams, along with cultural figures connected to the museum. After the dinner, guests moved to the newly reopened Andaz Miami Beach, where Benji B shaped the sound for an after-hours gathering attended by Amber Valletta, Erin Wasson, Tyriq Withers, Quenlin Blackwell, Justine Skye, Marc Forne, Jessie Andrews, and more.
Design Debut by Moooi x Robbie Williams at The Standard Spa
On December 1, Moooi and The Standard Spa debuted Robbie Williams’ Introvert Chair and the Delusions of Grandeur room fragrance. Revealed inside the property’s redesigned lobby, the installation introduced Williams’ sculptural chair with its wrapped form and tactile blended fabric, along with the fragrance created in collaboration with EveryHuman. The scent balanced bright aldehydes, lavender, pepper, tea notes, and warm woods, forming a sensory counterpart to the chair. Guests experienced both pieces as part of the hotel’s opening-night program and one of the week’s earliest design-focused presentations.
Culinary Program by WE ARE ONA
Later that same day, Andaz Miami Beach hosted a private preview with WE ARE ONA founder Luca Pronzato and designer Sabine Marcelis, introducing a four-day dining experience for the week. Vista Terrace transformed through travertine, fused stone, color-treated glass, and sculptural lighting by Bocci, creating a controlled environment overlooking the ocean. José Andrés, Pronzato, and Marcelis welcomed guests including Emilio Estefan, Claudia Vergara, and Bethan Laura Woods. Beginning December 2, the public joined for lunches and dinners built around a menu shaped by Mediterranean references filtered through Miami’s coastal setting.
Installation Unveiling by Pilar Zeta at The Shelborne By Proper
The Shelborne By Proper unveiled Pilar Zeta’s The Observer Effect on its beachfront, on December 2, where eight metallic portals formed a large-scale installation that shifted in color and light as attendees walked through the structure. A media preview on the sand introduced the work’s scale and visual approach. The evening continued on the Cerith Terrace with cocktails by LALO Tequila, Grey Goose, and St-Germain, along with beef tataki, burrata crostinis, and mini lobster rolls. Grey Goose Altius added a paired moment with mini shots and caviar bumps.
Planet Ocean Pop-Up Launch by OMEGA
Also on December 2, OMEGA hosted an evening event in the Miami Design District to introduce the new Planet Ocean Pop-Up and fourth-generation Planet Ocean collection. Guests viewed the installation’s oceanic projections, sculptural components, and curated display of the updated models before transitioning to a private dinner at Soho Beach House. The program gave attendees an opportunity to examine the Planet Ocean novelties in an intimate setting, where conversations centered on design, exploration, and the series’ direction.
Final Chapter of JOY Experience by Marc Jacobs
Marc Jacobs opened its Art Basel activation on December 2 at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden. The brand presented the final chapter of the JOY experience and introduced four new Daisy Murakami fragrances within an environment shaped in collaboration with David Shrigley, Derrick Adams, and Hattie Stewart. Guests moved through animated rooms, live stations, and interactive components, including a Converse art activation, Moleskine customization, and a Bookmarc signing with Derrick Adams. Drinks were provided by Casa Dragones, Louis M. Martini, and Parch, with music by Blu DeTiger.
Exhibition Opening by Marco Brambilla at The Wolfsonian-FIU
December 2 also marked the unveiling of Marco Brambilla’s After Utopia at The Wolfsonian-FIU, co-hosted with Golden Goose. The three-channel installation used AI to assemble world’s fair pavilions from 1889 to 2025 into a continuous digital environment animated by historical visitor data. During the event, Golden Goose Dream Makers screen-printed limited-edition posters inspired by the work, creating an additional participatory moment for guests.
Temerario Ad Personam Reveal by Lamborghini
Lamborghini presented a special Temerario Ad Personam configuration at 1111 Lincoln Road, on December 4. The crystal paint effect required 320 hours of hand application and combined Verde Shock, Grigio Maat, and Nero Nemesis to define the car’s aerodynamic structure. The interior extended the palette through Grigio Octans and Verde Scandal accents, matched by embroidered detailing and an Ad Personam plate. Guests also engaged with digital programs including the Fast ForWorld platform, the Ledger Stax collaboration, and the Lamborghini ID, and viewed additional models such as the Urus SE and the Revuelto.
