Italian Brands at Design Miami 2025

Design Miami runs December 2-7, 2025, in Miami Beach, drawing crowds for collectible design. Italian names stand out this year, both at the fair itself and a nearby B2B event during Art Week. Here’s a rundown based on recent reports.
Fendi’s Fonderia Installation at the Fair
Fendi marks its latest Design Miami display with Fonderia Fendi, a salon-like setup by Argentinian designer Constanza Vallese. It pulls from the fashion house’s codes—like the Selleria stitch and a pale yellow-blue palette inspired by Miami light—across bronze chairs, glass vases, ceramic seats, wool tapestries, and leather details. Vallese teamed up with Italian craftspeople: Fonderia Artistica Battaglia for bronze, Barovier & Toso for Murano glass, Officine Saffi for ceramics, and CC-Tapis for rugs. Wallpaper details the project, noting its nod to the five Fendi sisters through five materials and makers.

From December 2-4, the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce Southeast hosts its sixth Best of Italian Design at Istituto Marangoni (3704 NE 2nd Ave), open 4-9 p.m. daily to pros like architects and developers. Expect product displays, talks, networking, and Italian cocktails. It spotlights 13 brands’ new collections, including:
