Part One: The Fair  

With the dust settled on another edition of Design Miami/, we take a look back at this past December's fair, the largest in its 14-year history. Chief creative officer Rodman Primack, gallerists Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn, Juliet Burrows, Evan Snyderman and Hugues Magen, as well as artist Pedro Reyes and cultural producer Tiana Webb Evans, reflect on how the fair has carved out a crucial role in the landscape.

Part Two: The Haas Brothers 

The Haas Brothers, twins Nikolai and Simon, spoke to us on the occasion of their first solo museum exhibition, 'Ferngully', now open at the Bass Museum of Art. Their work effortlessly straddles the worlds of art and design, prizing collaboration with artisans, craftspeople and their respective environments to create objects that defy categorization.

Part Three: The Collectors 

Almost two decades ago the Harrelsons flew from New York to Miami, looking for a temporary change of pace and a bit more sun. Austin, a designer, and Sarah, founder and editor-in-chief of Cultured Magazine, invited us into their home to discuss how the city has continued to transform around them, with art, design and the creative community coming sharply into focus.
