Given that Salone Del Milano, the annual world-famous fair in the Italian city of Milan, did not happen this year, it is more special than ever for Baxter Gallery Miami to welcome the new arrivals, hand-crafted in the northern area of Italy. The detail dedicated to each piece of the Baxter collection is beyond anything the industry has seen, and as always, executed in the brand's signature premium leather.

"While this epic year had delayed some of our exciting new arrivals from Baxter, we are thrilled that new collection is now on display, just in time for Miami high season and new residents from up north relocating into our Magic City," says Elizabeth Potter, Director of the Miami showroom of the iconic brand.

• Artik - adds iconic pop to any room -  Mongolian wool swivel armchair updated for the new collection in white, blue, bordeaux, or camel.
• Miami Roll - our favorite modular sectional for a casual lounge, named after the Magic City itself... our favorite FIFA star just installed one in his new penthouse.
• Selene - Wallpaper Award-winning Design 2019 - a stunning statement piece for the collector of special objects, available in three colors.

The expert craftsmanship that goes into every piece exhibited in the store keeps the standard set by Italian entrepreneurs Luigi and Paolo Bestetti since 1990. On the Magic City, the latter has described Miami as a place where, “design is part of the very texture of the city.”

After the brand’s presence in Miami for nearly a decade, Baxter Gallery Miami opened in September 2019 to rave reviews.

The flagship has gained the attention from New York City and Hamptons residents who look to purchase their third, fourth, even fifth home in South Florida and are in search of unique custom design at the highest level. The new location has also grown the brand’s grasp on the ultra-wealthy Latin American and European clientele that has been more acquainted with Baxter in other jet set pockets of the world. Clients like these have been at the vanguard of Miami’s ascent into the world of design’s principal cities.

“Miami has become a hot spot for the increased competition in the luxury industry,” says Elizabeth Potter, Director of the flagship store.

The look of the exceptional Italian leather on the pieces makes one pause for a moment and wonder if it is possible to reach down and touch the softness. Their artful design is worthy of gazing.

“The story of Baxter is one of passion,” continues Potter. “Baxter's flagship spaces have become something different than retail stores. We invite our clientele into an approach and space similar to art galleries. We try to enhance, emphasize and connect to the architecture's soul with a project. And the very same heart and soul is transmitted as we approach our clients' unique spaces as well.”

The most exclusive leather and marbles are used in every one of the unique, 100% Made in Italy pieces by Baxter.

Her book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” had already flown off the shelves by the time the show premiered in early 2019, with which singles, couples and families implemented The KonMari Method. As Kondo says in her website, “The KonMari Method encourages keeping only those things that speak to the heart. Discard items that have outlived their purpose; thank them for their service – then let them go.”

You will be stunned at how many things you are ready to say goodbye to in your life once you hold each item in your hands and ask yourself the question. These include clothes, trinkets, photos, decorative items, and anything else under your roof.

From North America to Europe and all the way to Asia, Marie has grown a network of Certified Consultants that implement the KonMari Method to help thousands of people in tidying their home.

Marie Kondo kindly joined us for a Q&A.

Haute Living: How has 2020 gone so far for you?

Marie Kondo: The beginning of a new year is always special. I use this time to step back and consider my goals for the year ahead.

HL: What is special about the KonMari lifestyle brand?

MK: KonMari is a lifestyle brand with a suite of products, services and content designed to help organize your home and bring joy to your life. We’re also a platform for connecting and supporting one another on our tidying journeys – which is very powerful. Everything we do is centered around the concept of sparking joy, and I think that’s what makes us special.

HL: How does growing your Certified Consultant network across so many countries’ borders feel?

MK: Right now we have over 350 certified KonMari Consultants in 40 countries – with a waitlist of thousands to join the program. The continued growth and success of such a personal offering is humbling. I’m still amazed at how many people find a sense of purpose in this work! For those unfamiliar with the program, we wrote about its beginnings and expansion here: Organize the World: Behind the Consultant Program.

HL: People are using your name as a verb to describe how they declutter, saying phrases like, “I just Kondo’d my place.” Did you ever think this could be possible?

MK: No! I never imagined this would happen. I’m still surprised – and my family is, too! Kondo is a fairly common last name in Japan – it’s like Smith in the U.S. I’ve heard of other Kondos from Japan being asked if they’re good at tidying when they travel abroad.

HL: When you were a professional tidying consultant, what was the longest time that you consulted a home? Why?  

MK: Two years. My client was a very busy doctor who ran her own clinic, and we could only meet once a month. She lived in a very large three-story house, and she owned a lot of stuff. By the end of our time together her house has transformed – it was a completely different home.

HL: Your fans want to know, do you have any news on season two of “Tidying Up With Marie Kondo”?

MK: I’m excited to report that season two is in development – stay tuned!
