Miami Design District is located between NE 36th & 41st Streets 

from NE 2nd to N Miami Avenue.

 The district is full of high-end interior & fashion stores.

 Prada behind the threes on 180 NE 40th Street.

The store is designed by architect Roberto Baciocchi.

Nice, trendy restaurants and narrow streets 

between the old warehouses.

 Miami Design District is next to Downtown and Wynwood,

which all used to be not so safe areas,
but nowadays full of art galleries and small restaurants.  

Yet still not recommended to walk alone at night. 

 Christian Louboutin on 155 NE 40th Street.

 Stilettos in sardine tin.

 The Moore Building is located in the heart 

of Miami design District. 

This historic venue was built in 1921 

as the furniture showroom space for Moore and Sons.

 Luxurious modern furniture & lighting at NiBa interiors

on 39 NE 39th Street.

 Kenzo, Fendi, Armani Casa... they're all here.

 Hmm...

 Bulthaup, Poltrona Frau...the list is endless.

 The end of Miami Design District - North Miami Avenue.

RETNA For LV

Louis Vuitton on 170 NE 40th Street in Miami Design District.

After seeing the murals on the wall, just had to enter the store.

Had only one thing on my mind...

The IT scarf design by RETNA.

Spread out scarf in beautiful Miami colours.

Love my new calligraphic cashmere & silk scarf.

Louis Vuitton commissioned L.A.-based graffiti writer 

Marquis Lewis, aka RETNA, 

to transform the exterior of its new store 

into a work of art.

Rather than an all-glass facade like most other LV stores, 

this new Louis Vuitton storefront at the trendy Miami Design District features a mural by graffiti writer RETNA instead. 

Done in his familiar hieroglyphics and calligraphy designs, 

the pastel palettes gently bleed through one another, 

creating a visual much like a large water-colored landscape.

LA based RETNA began making street art in high school 

because he was drawn to the rich Los Agneles graffiti scene. 

His work is urban and often inspired by calligraphy.

An art gallery in Design District
Design District:
NE 36th to 41st Streets
by NE 2nd to N Miami Avenue
- the area was quite a crime scene in the late '80s,
not so unsafe any more as it once was
but still not a place to linger at night
.
Not only art galleries but also
gorgeous interior shops
.

All buildings are one floor houses

former storeges, garages etc
.

Kenzo Home, Fendi Home, Ligne Roset, Bulthaup...
.

There's also a garden there
.

A sanctuary in the city

- arty little public park to rest
.

.

Apparently there's Kartell,

and is it really...?!!!
.

Yes, it is - Christian Louboutin boutique!
- so not only art, furniture, garden

but also shoes!

And there's a Marni boutique too in the district
.

Wauh! The Finnish icon Marimekko is there!
.
