Design on a Dime Miami Style

By Cleskowitz @cleskowitz


After attending Design on a Dime in New York for the last several years I was excited to see how Miami does it.  One of the most fun events of the season went South ~ Design on a Dime Miami in the heart of the Design District is in its 3rd year.  The fundraiser benefits Housing Works, a healing community supporting those living with and affected by HIV/AIDS and homelessness.
I have written about the NY event herehere and here.
Being greeted by a handsome guy in a towel at the Elle Decor booth is a crowd pleaser, no matter where the place!

The Moore building in Miami's design district is a busy event venue, especially during Art Basel.  The space was as beautiful as it was challenging for an event such as this.

I wish I had a better picture of Nicole Fuller's chic Parisian boutique hotel inspired vignette, featuring many John Pomp pieces.  I am assuming the art is by her artist husband Alexander Yulish.  I should have grabbed that!

Monica Arellano, Stephannie Benhamu and Miguel Lewis pooled their talents .

Endless possibilities inspired the Eolo A & I Design space.

It was fun to see the similarities and differences of the designer vignettes between the two cities. Miami does have a unique vibe, New York always "brings it."  I'm now thinking LA needs to get in on the act!
