Partnering again with world-renowned architect and interior designer Cristina Celestino, FENDI introduces its "Back Home" collection as part of the FENDI Casa exhibition during Milan Design Week, running from April 9-14. The Via Solari space will showcase the FENDI Casa installation with its newest pieces designed by Celestino, produced by Luxury Living Group.

Celestino and FENDI Casa first worked together for their successful "Happy Room" project, showcased at Design Miami/ in 2016. The brand has worked with up and coming designers in Miami for quite some time, but now it is taking these collaborations to the next level and offering the potential to make an international market debut.

The Roman luxury house's signature Pequin striped motif is prominently featured, as an ode to the brand's history of being a leader in sophistication and elegance. However, Celestino has reimagined and redeveloped the motif—which was first introduced in 1987, as was the FENDI Casa interior design line—creating a variety of statement pieces at the exclusive installation.

The installation itself recreates an upscale Roman house from the 1970s with a large Pequin tent, as well as an area decorated to resemble an outdoor Roman terrace with terracotta flooring and antique sculptures. A wide range of interesting materials and textures are featured, including marble, onyx and metallics.

Pequin stripes are proudly embellished on a variety of pieces, in strong and straight geometric form and even in softer, curved form, on carpeting, furniture pieces and décor items. To complement the interior design collection, Silvia Venturini—Men's and Accessories Creative Director—designed an exclusive collection of luggage with the Pequin motif. available in classic colors of tobacco and black, as well as the new blue, beige and powder pink color way.

2013 marks Swarovski Crystal Palace’s 6^th year as a main sponsor for Design Miami, and this year “Mangue Groove,” an “architectural meditation on environmental conservation,” truly delivered.

The installation, crafted by Guilherme Torres, was intended to be visually captivating while also drawing attention to Brazil’s threatened ecosystems. Featuring reclaimed wood pathways, LED lighting, Swarovski crystals and sound recordings, Guilherme uses the Voronoi diagram, “a form of tessellation often used to calculate rainfall or forest growth patterns,” to connect nature and science within his work.

At 5pm each day, the installation reflected the Amazonian sunset.

Art Basel and Design Miami featured plenty of unique designs within each exhibition, but one fresh trend stuck out in particular. Furry (faux or otherwise) furniture isn’t only a thing of the 70s– it’s making a comeback for interior design in 2014!

Adding fur or faux fur elements to your space provides a luxurious, plush and inviting feel. Depending on the kind of furry pattern, it can also contribute a bohemian flare to an interior as well. Check out a few examples below:

Louis Vuitton delivered this weekend with a modern, U-shaped beach bungalow entitled “House by the Shore.” Assembled in Italy and shipped to Florida exclusively for Design Miami, this gorgeous display boasts fluidity between indoor and outdoor spaces and raw iroko and okoume wood floors and furnishings.

The minimalist living space is intended to be a temporary shelter for beach dwellers, showcasing found objects as décor and what seems to be a simple tin roof. It also offers some leather furnishings, plain vintage pieces and a hide statement rug.

Another unusual feature? The space was made in a way that it can easily be assembled and disassembled whenever necessary.

Now, Eyal Burstein is honoring the 10th anniversary of Swarovski Crystal Palace with ‘Beta,’ a colorful presentation of furniture with an obvious link to Swarovski. Burstein, a designer at Studio Beta Tank, interpreted the cut crystal shape and used it as a vehicle to push the limits of conventional seat shapes.

For example, a Plexiglas bench is transparent and reflective, an ode to the properties of iridescent crystal. Brightly hued chairs in Burstein’s showcase feature crystal-shaped metal complete with LED lights, mimicking the glow of a perfect Chaton-cut crystal.

What a happy anniversary.
