5 Design Trends We Spotted Everywhere in Miami

The frenetic week known as Art Basel Miami is a bit of a misnomer. True, the U.S. edition of the famed Swiss art fair—held at Miami Beach’s striking Arquitectonica-designed convention center—was the show that started it all. But Miami Art Week is now a constellation of events, including several devoted to design. For a global snapshot of what’s happening in furniture, collectible objects, and even cars and jewelry, the annual Design Miami exhibition (across from the convention center) is a harbinger of what’s new and what’s next. At this year’s iteration, ELLE DECOR editors pinpointed several new trends—from high-shine surfaces (perfect in an age of selfies and TikTok backdrops) to design’s next It material, resin. Here are the five trends we predict will only get bigger in the year ahead. Hop on board while they’re still fresh.
