Collaborations/
In addition to the museum-quality displays in the gallery program, other highlights of the fair included a broad range of partner collaborations.

Design Curio/
Now in its second year, Design Curio returned to the Miami fair with gusto, featuring six diminutive yet immersive booths with projects that contextualized and at times challenged more familiar design narratives. This latest edition of the program featured Fragments, with its contrasting rough-hewn and polished marble by Lex Pott and scenography by Calico Wallpaper at The Future Perfect; Katie Stout's psychedelic nod to teeny-bopper culture with Bedroom from Cultured Magazine with the support of Gallery Diet; the powerful aromas of Cheese, an installation from DEAN & DELUCA that harked back to the beginnings of the food emporium as imagined by design studio Charlap Hyman & Herrero; enigmatic polished Obsidian mirrors meant to evoke the spirit of Aztek god Tezcatlipoca with Smoking Mirrors from Eduardo Olbés, presented at the fair by ADN Galería of Mexico; Chamber presented Black Gold by Dutch designer Quintus Kropholler, an exhibition that challenges the materiality of designed objects by creating striking pieces from bitumen, a material used to pave roads; Miami-based Giovanni Beltran offered a humorous take on retail culture with Storefront: a booth so packed with slightly off-beat furniture pieces that you couldn't actually step inside it.

Satellites/
The fair's Satellite Program offers a contemporary view onto what’s happening in the design world at large, and included Belong. Here. Now., an interactive installation by Airbnb in collaboration with Design With Company that featured performative activations with emerging artists throughout the week. Inside the fair itself, visitors were offered a unique retail experience with the first iteration of the Design Miami/ Market that included the highly sought-after fashion accessories resulting from the collaboration between J.Crew and Design Miami/ featuring the illustrations of Pierre Le-Tan; LIZWORKS with the Vik Muniz-designed HAPPY VIEW; ARTBOOK returned to the fair with a selection of design and art publications and DEAN & DELUCA offered gourmet items perfect for the holiday season. The Market was designed by Miami-based Emmett Moore, bringing a slice of South Beach to the fair with canopies that resembled sun loungers over the individual kiosks.
