Design Miami is an annual collectible design fair held each December in Miami Beach, running alongside Art Basel Miami Beach as a companion event under separate organization. The 2026 edition marks its 22nd year, and the fair has since expanded into sister editions in Paris and, since 2025, Seoul.
Its design focus and global audience make it a strong Design & Innovation row.
While closely associated with Art Basel Miami Beach through shared timing and audience, Design Miami operates as its own distinct fair dedicated specifically to collectible design, limited-edition furniture, lighting, and decorative objects treated as fine-art-level acquisitions rather than functional home goods
Its two-decade run in Miami Beach has made it the design-world counterpart to the contemporary art fairs happening simultaneously across the city, giving collectors a single December week to move between painting, sculpture, and museum-quality design objects
The fair's expansion to Paris and, as of 2026, a second Seoul edition, reflects a franchise model similar to Art Basel's own international growth, though Design Miami remains a separate company and curatorial operation
Since debuting alongside Art Basel Miami Beach
Design Miami has continued its founding role as the design-world companion to the December art fairs
a tradition of pairing collectible design with contemporary art collecting that it has now exported to its Paris and Seoul editions
20–25 October 2026
Miami Beach logistics mirror Art Week congestion.
Upscale and design-conscious, in keeping with the fair's collector audience; daytime browsing runs smart-casual, with evening previews and receptions trending toward more polished attire.
Keep photography restrained at Design Miami; give people room and treat community moments as more than scenery.
