What a night in Miami!

On December 3rd, the brand-new Rimadesio Flagship Store hosted Miami Breeze, the special event curated by Platform Architecture and Design to celebrate design, the city, and the creative energy that makes Miami unique.

Together with six outstanding Miami-based interior design studios — Sandra Diaz / Eolo Design, Melanie Haselmayr / CURATED., Beatrice Pila-Gonzalez / B Pila Design, William (Bill) & Phyllis Taylor / Taylor & Taylor, Ivonne Ronderos / DKOR Interiors, and Christopher Coleman & Angel Sanchez / Sanchez + Coleman Studio — we explored how Miami’s style is evolving and influencing the global design scene.

A warm thank-you to Rimadesio for the invitation and hospitality, to all our speakers for their insight and enthusiasm, and to our Special Guest and moderator Anna Masello, Marketing & Branded Real Estate Director at The One Atelier, who led the conversation with her signature clarity and charm.

It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with Miami’s design community — and the first step of Platform’s return to the city.
More to come… and Miami, we’re not done with you!

Italy. Bologna is hosting Graphic Japan, the first major retrospective in Italy dedicated to the evolution of Japanese graphic art, from the elegant ukiyo-e prints of the Edo period to contemporary manga and posters, in the rooms of the Civic Archaeological Museum. On display are over two hundred works printed in woodblock, books, albums, posters, and stencils (katagami) for fabrics, as well as objects of fine craftsmanship. The exhibition is divided into four thematic sections: Nature, Figures, Signs, and Contemporary Japonism, and is structured around an interdisciplinary approach that ranges from calligraphy to design, typography to theater, fashion, cinema, and comics. Graphic Japan. From Hokusai to Manga presents the most relevant themes and artists from different eras, highlighting the evolution of style, techniques, materials, and subjects, as well as changes in usage and the ability to innovate within the tradition, while maintaining the recognizable visual essence of Japanese culture.

“JR l’Observatoire” is a suite carriage designed by French artist JR for the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express train, available for bookings from 2025. Inspired by astronomical studies and Renaissance cabinets of curiosities, the design integrates historical craftsmanship with hidden and creative details, such as a living room, a library, and a secret tea room. With L’Observatoire, JR had the opportunity to work directly with a piece of history to reimagine what a VSOE carriage could be. He dove into the archive of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, exploring how acclaimed Art Deco designers, such as René Prou and René Lalique, conceptualized the original carriage fleet. JR used artisanal century-old techniques to preserve the train’s pre-1945s look and feel while creating spaces filled with hidden details that drive curiosity and instill a sense of imagination. Intricate marquetry spans across the carriage rooms, which include a library and secret tearoom. The suite was unveiled in Venice in April 2024, before entering service in 2025.

La Canaria House, Los Angeles, California, USA. Project by SelgasCano (José Selgas, Lucía Cano) + Diego Cano. Named La Canaria, the 340-square-metre house is located in Mount Washington, a suburb in the hills of north-east Los Angeles. The house, situated on a steep slope, offers sweeping 180° views towards the Elysian Valley. Based on the contextual parameters, the studio worked with these two distinct factors: first, maintaining and encouraging the 180° horizontal views, and second, maximising the home’s protection from the constant sun. Moreover, the architects created an outdoor device that veils all the interior and exterior spaces, it functions as an independent device that provides shelter from the sun and frames the views.

MuCEM, Marseille, France. Project by . As the first museum dedicated to the cultures of the Mediterranean, the Mucem is a first-of-its-kind museum. Views, sea, sun, a mineral quality, which all must be orchestrated by a program that will become federal and cognitive. First of all a perfect square of 72 m per side, it is a classic plan, Latin, under the control of Pythagoras. Within this square, another of 52 m per side, comprising the exhibition and conference halls identified as the heart of the museum. Around, above and below are the service areas. But between these areas and the heart, openings entirely bypass the central square and form interconnected spaces. More interested by the views of the fort, the sea or the port, the culturally overwhelmed visitor will choose this route. Along two interlacing ramps, he will then plunge into the imaginary of the tower of Babel or of a ziggurat in order to climb up to the rooftop and on to Fort Saint- Jean. This peripheral loop will be a demuseumifying breathe, enveloped by the smells of the sea from the proximity to the moats, a pause to dispel any lingering doubts about the use of the history of our civilisations. The MuCEM will be a vertical Casbah.

Pierre Chareau, the Mysterious Man Behind the Maison de Verre in Paris. Pierre Chareau was an architect whose buildings have almost all been demolished; an interior designer whose designs have all been remodeled; and a film set designer whose films you cannot see. The Maison de Verre notwithstanding, Chareau’s design legacy lives on in his furniture pieces, of which a fair number survive and are well-represented at the Jewish Museum. While individually arresting, these pieces, ranging from velour sofas to amaranth and iron desks to alabaster lamps, are inadequate in their isolation; they do not make for a full reading of a man whose professional title was “ensemblier”—a term more euphonious and inclusive than “interior designer.” Chareau did not seek to merely fill space but to shape entire environments.

Oracle Coffee Shop by True Thing Design Studio. Located in Huangpu New Village, Fengshan—one of Taiwan’s earliest military dependents’ villages—this café embraces restraint as its primary design strategy. The architectural framework and original residential layout are preserved, while the space is sensitively adapted to accommodate both the brand’s identity and commercial functionality. At the entrance, a neon installation traces the trajectory of time, extending the design language of temporality. This dynamic light feature serves as both a visual anchor and a guiding element within the former vestibule.

Bellevue Hill, Sidney, Australia. Black Vespa Home by , belongs to a bespoke little Vespa that parks proudly in front her home and suggests to the busy suburban street that life within is as beautiful as her! She is proud yet humble; a bit of a show-off but at the same time incredibly private; simple yet complex and happy to park outside just to add a little spice to the street. Vespa embodies a strong cross axial planning narrative, with the main axis formed by the entrance courtyard, foyer and terminating in a pool courtyard. The long, intersecting axis provides linear circulation at all levels from the vertical access elements at one end to the open-ended view vista towards the harbour Icons at the opposite end. On either side of the long axis, which runs in the same direction as the adjacent arterial road, Vespa’s accommodation either turns its back on the busy road or opens out to the view.

Located within a Haussmannian building, “Zola” this Parisian apartment, design by Corpus Studio, is in close proximity to the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. It offers an array of appealing features, including two balconies with unobstructed views across the city’s rooftops and an abundance of southern light throughout the day. The decision to preserve the original spatial division over an open-plan layout was guided by a desire to maintain the apartment’s well-proportioned layout and inherent distribution while inserting a contemporary touch through strategic architectural interventions. Noteworthy elements include sculptural geometric shapes like a custom triangular washbasin, an oblique walled entrance, and a semi-circular nook with a built-in bench, all contributing to an ambiance of playfulness and a distinctive aesthetic. Warmth is accentuated by smoky-tinted oak floorboards and pastel-hued walls, complemented by curtains and blinds that dramatically filter light, deepening the aura of serenity as the light shifts and changes colour throughout the day.studio
