Fair
Design Miami/ Basel 2009
In it’s fourth edition, Design Miami/ Basel is moving to Hall 5, a new, larger location at the heart of the Basel exhibition complex. Just adjacent to Halls 1 and 2, where Art Basel is held, Hall 5 offers not only more floor space for the expanding fair, but also a more integrated experience for the tens of thousands of visitors who come to the city for both Design Miami/Basel and Art Basel. With its 18m high ceiling, mezzanine gallery and 15% increase in floor space; Hall 5 is a lofty, highly flexible venue that presents a broad canvas for Design Miami/Basel’s innovative exhibition programme. Miami is a fascinating combination of metropolitan city, sandy beaches, fine restaurants, vibrant nightlife, and Latin flair. In recent years, Miami has become a hip destination for art and design due to the resurgence of the Art Deco District in South Beach, the revitalization of the Miami Design District, and the city's designation as an art mecca. Named most exciting city in Wallpaper* magazine's first Design Awards issue Miami has become the place to be when the international set descends for Art Basel Miami Beach.
