Based on the tremendous success in its debut year, Design Miami/ is poised to become the most prominent and meaningful forum for international design, bringing together the most influential designers, collectors, dealers, curators and critics from around the world to further the current design culture.

Design Miami/ presents the best international design galleries exhibiting extraordinary historic and contemporary design. This unique show will be held in the Miami Design District from 8 – 10 December 2006. The Vernissage is by invitation only from 8pm until Midnight on 7 December.

Considered Miami's creative hub, the Design District is one of the leading centers in the U.S. for furniture showrooms, design companies and art galleries.
