Perrier-Jouët presents Metamorphosis by Andrea Mancuso of Analogia Project 
Maison Perrier-Jouët and Design Miami/ have collaborated for the past eight years to offer emerging artists and designers an opportunity to interpret the House's iconic Art Nouveau heritage through the prism of the twenty-first century. This year, they are working with Italian designer Andrea Mancuso of Analogia Project, who has imagined Metamorphosis, a collection of six glasses that unite traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. The collection will be displayed in a singular setting created from thousands of ceramic pieces mimicking the scenography of the House's renowned vineyard cellars.
 
FENDI presents Roman Molds by Kueng Caputo
FENDI has commissioned the Zurich-based design studio Kueng Caputo to create ten design pieces intended to decorate the exterior colonnade of its iconic Roman headquarters, the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana. The resulting collection, Roman Molds, captures the tension that has historically informed much of the house's best output—traditional craft disrupted by innovation. The collection of ten pieces are meant to be building blocks that in multiplication would create a series of intimate "rooms" for socializing, escaping, and working on the grand loggias of the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana. The pieces combine FENDI's iconic, supple Selleria Roman leather and versatile, unpretentious terracotta brick.
 
Lexus presents The Sunshower by Nao Tamura 
The installation—curated by Design Miami/ Curatorial Director Aric Chen and Milan-based curator Maria Cristina Didero—will evoke the magic of sunshowers and reinforces the brand's commitment to omotenashi (hospitality), takumi (artisans), and the indoor-outdoor philosophy of engawa. Guests are invited to experience The Sunshower, relax in the space, use its charging stations, and sample Ooho, the innovative new water capsules made of edible seaweed extract. The sunshowers will highlight the same qualities in the Lexus LC Convertible Concept, a vehicle that dazzles in rain, sun—or both.
 
Delta Air Lines and Sacred Space present ROOTS by Atelier Marko Brajović curated by Ximena Caminos and produced by architect Alberto Latorre 
After witnessing first-hand the fires that ravaged the Amazon in 2019, Brazilian architect Marko Brajović envisioned ROOTS as a cultural and artistic response to alarming changes in nature and the environment. The pavilion takes the shape of a cocoon of mangrove roots surrounding a gathering space where visitors can experience the immersive documentary SACRED COCA.  

Swarovski presents Water 
Water is fundamental to the Swarovski business, which was founded in 1895 in Wattens, Austria, near the Alpine rivers that provided the energy and fresh water supplies essential to crystal production.

Nature is a 3.8-billion-year-old designer.
