Whitewaller Miami 2019: Where to Shop in Miami Design District

Max Mara Design District
Max Mara’s Miami boutique is a stunning 3,325-square-foot space featuring a design concept developed in collaboration with the Duccio Grassi Architects studio. The dynamic and fluid store allows guests to experience organic materials while perusing the new collections and appreciating the unusual treatments—ash-treated oak and acid-treated metal with platinum leaf glass—that accent the boutique.

Sevan Biçakçi Design District
Sevan Biçakçi‘s only U.S.-based store is in the Miami Design District. Inside, guests can find jaw-dropping one-of-a-kind wonders from the renowned jewelry prodigy and craftsman, all inspired by his homeland of Turkey. The 850-square-foot space features hand-painted tile, domed ceilings, and his signature dagger door handles—details that demonstrate his dedication to craftsmanship.

Van Cleef & Arpels Design District
Van Cleef & Arpels’s space is designed by longtime collaborators Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku of the Jouin Manku agency. Its facade, accented by a shower of leaves in brass and stone, leads visitors inside to a light-filled, multistory boutique boasting soft finishes, natural materials, neutral tones, and details inspired by nature—a constant source of inspiration for Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry.

Balenciaga Design District
In April, Balenciaga opened its new store in the Design District. The site-specific building is a project that uses blue solar panels as part of its facade over its windows. Inside, the store follows the same luxurious environments previously presented by Demna Gvasalia for the Paris flagship store. Clothing is well integrated into the two-floor floorplan, displaying women’s on the first floor and men’s on the second.
