Marking the fourth edition, more than 20 international galleries fill salons, courtyard and gardens with historic and contemporary collectible design. A preview for invited guests only takes place Oct. 20, and the public is admitted from Oct. 21.

At Design Miami Paris, Northern Europe is represented by Stockholm-based Modernity, which debuts at the fair with a rare armchair by Frits Henningsen, a Flora cabinet by Josef Frank and a one-of-a-kind piece by Otto Schulz, dating to 1939, in ash root, dyed birch and brass. Hostler Burrows shows September, a hand-tufted rug by Louise Hederström with Kasthall, in Kina, Sweden. Its camouflage pattern draws on fabrics from the archive of Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg and evokes the deciduous forest. Galerie Maria Wettergren exhibits in Paris for the first time Jade, a sculptural textile by Gjertrud Hals.

In its debut, Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery proposes Shared Grounds: Intimate Monuments, with the Cosmic Jewelry series by Sheila Hicks and Liens d’Amour (2023), the last necklace by Sophia Vari, in ebony, coral and gold.

Within the Design at Large program, Galerie Patrick Seguin assembles Jean Prouvé’s Maison Démontable 6×6 (1944), with wood cladding and exposed steel structure. Outdoors, Galerie Gastou installs bronze swings by Irene Cattaneo that quote the opening scene of “Effi Briest.” Galerie Negropontes raises Halga, by Gianluca Pacchioni, in rusted iron and reaching up to 3 meters, and Craftica Gallery unveils Korallion, a birch plywood bench by Cyryl Zakrzewski.

For CEO Jen Roberts, the central point is the bond with Paris. “We are delighted to return once again to the magnificent residential setting of L’hôtel de Maisons for our fourth edition in Paris,” Roberts said. “The city has embraced Design Miami as its own, and we continue to be inspired by the energy and discernment our community brings each October.” She added that Design Miami looks forward to “another edition that feels as rooted in the spirit of Paris as it does in the world of collectible design.”

Outside the galleries, the partnership with Apple, Designers of Tomorrow, enters its second year with the theme “Design for Presence.” Curated by Rodman Primack, a jury will choose four designers who integrate Apple technology into the creative process.
