Tastemakers Showcase 2013
Ornare honors six from Miami's design community
More than 500 design experts, art enthusiasts and VIPs flocked to the Ornare showroom – located in the heart of the Miami Design District – to celebrate six of the Magic City’s most influential interior designers and architects at the 2013 Ornare Tastemakers Showcase.
The ultra-luxury Brazilian home design brand elevated its showcase to the next level: utilizing interactive presentations through unique video projections. The showroom walls were transformed into large spectacles where each designer and his/her project came to life.
The 2013 honorees included Architect Rene Gonzalez, Rafaela Simoes and Laila Colvin of 2id Interiors, Sofia Joelsson of Sojo Design, Alison Antrobus and Ruby Ramirez of Antrobus + Ramirez, Isabel Tragash of STA Architectural Group and Pepe Calderin of Pepe Calderin Design
“The Art Garden”
Basel Miami Art Week featured a special public art exhibition in the Miami Design District. What was a vacant lot waiting to be developed became the temporary home for a very peculiar family: The Big Foot Family series by Israeli-French artist Idan Zareski. The public installation was kicked off with a private event co-hosted by Idan Zareski and Markowicz Fine Art gallery owner Bernard Markowicz.
Tents, large screens, projectors and strategically positioned bright lights were part of the components that transformed the site into The Art Garden, which was conceptualized and designed by interior designer David Landau.
