Turns out, defending the HEAT’s breakneck offense at 1 pm on a Sunday afternoon is not exactly a good time. Another hot start for Norm Powell, as we’ve come to expect at this point, as two threes helped him along to eight of Miami’s first 12, Pelle Larsson holding it down on the other side taking two early charges, including one with his face. The Sixers – no look at VJ Edgecombe or Joel Embiid today – hung around for a bit despite their own cold shooting, but as Davion Mitchell (eight points, eight rebounds, 12 assists, one turnover) quarterbacked at warp speed and Kel’el Ware high-point rebounded over everyone, Miami’s lead was 37-27 after the opening period, their offense functioning exactly as intended. More of the same in the second, Philadelphia oddly choosing to help off the strong side corner on consecutive Jaime Jaquez Jr. drives and getting burned each time. As Jaquez Jr. dropped in a couple of soft turnaround jumpers after that, the lead ballooned to 16 and it looked like we could be on the verge of a repeat of Friday’s blowout in Chicago. Philadelphia had other ideas. Over the next three minutes they mounted a 16-0 run, the heart of that burst coming from a wild Tyrese Maxey desperation three against the shot clock buzzer that he and Quentin Grimes followed up with another pair from deep. But just as soon as things were tied back up Bam Adebayo dropped in a couple of shots in the middle of Philadelphia’s zone – yes, another team in zone – and Powell drew back-to-back fouls on attempted threes to ensure a 71-67 lead at halftime. How about another trip to the line for Powell from beyond the arc early in the third, just for good measure? That put Miami back up double digits in a hurry as Philadelphia missed a series of bunnies in the paint. With Powell hitting another three, a 9-0 HEAT run to open the half, to get to 28 points on 12 shots, it looked like Miami could be running away with it again, up 14 much in the same fashion as they were in the second. And then the Sixers punched back much in the same fashion they had before, an 8-0 run powered by a pair of threes and missed Miami free-throws. A Simone Fontecchio three against the zone calmed things down, Jaquez Jr. answering another Maxey three with a strong drive. The stiff arm worked, the lead held at 99-93 through three after Andre Drummond dropped in a three to end the period. Down to three a few minutes in, even with Philadelphia unable to do much with Ware (20 points, 16 rebounds) around the rim. The Sixers couldn’t do much with Jaquez Jr., either, single coverage giving him looks in the paint and help giving him shooters to kick it out to. Back to nine with six to play, Larsson spinning the Sixers around with a slot cut, momentum sapped from Philadelphia as they came up empty against Miami’s zone. By the time Quentin Grimes chose to pull back, slow down and isolate Adebayo in space, their comeback had well stalled out. No clutch game, not even close, as Miami takes it, 127-117, to move to 11-6 on the season. There have been many constants this season for Miami – perhaps one of their best attributes has been how consistent their entire system has been, both in pace and in overall process – but perhaps none more so than Powell and Jaquez Jr. Powell has simply been a flamethrower, hovering just a few ticks below the 50 percent mark from three through this first month. So many games begin with him sprinting out of the gates, running off screens to drop in top of the arc threes early on. So many games see him drawing fouls from the arc, with only James Harden drawing more three-shot fouls this season. So many games see him find the seams in a zone – it’s becoming quite normal to see zone every time out these days – and attack for a one-handed runner at the angle when the offense begins to lose its balance. He finished with 32 points on 18 shots today and nobody who has been watching all season would bat an eyelash at that line. That’s just Norm. Jaquez Jr. may be the single greatest representative of Miami’s offensive system, his relentless drives regularly becoming a massive pain for any defense. The Sixers truly had no answer for him as he scored 22 points on 10-of-12 shooting, with seven assists on top of that, as they either got buried in the paint by his physicality or punished for helping off of shooters. Jaquez Jr. may not be the biggest name on this HEAT team, but if you want to show someone how they are playing this year you only need to show them a reel of Jaquez Jr. highlights and they’ll know what this team is all about. When and if the HEAT get healthy Erik Spoelstra is going to have to make some decisions – the good kind of problem for a coach to have with so many guys playing well – when it comes to the rotation. Pelle Larsson is doing everything he can to make that decision even tougher. Now, you may look at his line of six points on 2-of-13 shooting and wonder what the big deal is. But to look at scoring and percentages first is to miss the point with someone like Larsson. Yes, he’ll have to knock down some threes in the big picture, but in the meantime he’s becoming the very definition of what Miami wants out of a role player, the sort that contributes winning plays – taking a charge here, cutting at the perfect time there, moving the ball exactly where it needs to go while keeping the pace high – in all facets of the game. Larsson never tries to be anything that he isn’t and, outside of the make or miss, is almost always exactly what the HEAT need him to be. The thought was always that Larsson could be this sort of player, he’s just turning the theory into practice right before our eyes. By ML Staff. Courtesy of NBA.

Think you have dating apps figured out? Swipe left, swipe right, send a message, repeat. Most platforms work pretty much the same way, so why would FiestaDates be any different? Photo credit: Depositphotos Well, here is the thing. With over 366 million people  using dating apps around the world, you would think every platform just copies what everyone else does. But some sites throw in a few surprises that you do not see coming. FiestaDates has some unexpected stuff going on. We are talking about features you would not guess, ways the platform works that are kind of different, and a few things that might actually make you rethink what a dating site can be. This FiestaDates review covers nine facts about FiestaDates that are worth knowing. Some are small details, others are bigger deals. Either way, if you are curious about what this platform is really about, you will want to check these out. 1. Why Did FiestaDates Get Its Name, And What Does It Say About the Platform? Most people don't really think twice about platform names, but "FiestaDates" actually tells you something about the site. The word "fiesta" brings up some ideas of celebration and fun. And that's not random. FiestaDates  wants to make the process of meeting people online feel enjoyable and not stressful or formal. The name hints that connections should feel natural instead of like hard work. So what is FiestaDates? It's a platform where you can connect with people who share your interests and thoughts. You can use a range of features available for this goal: chats, mails, media sharing, etc. The focus here is on the social side of getting to know someone at your own pace. 2. How Does FiestaDates Make That Awkward First Message Less Terrible? Starting a conversation with someone new online can feel awkward. You stare at the blank message box and think, "What do I even say?" FiestaDates has a feature called "Let's Talk" that gives you a bunch of pre-written conversation starters that you can even customize. If you worry, those are not boring “Hey, how are you?" lines that everyone ignores. 3. What Should Someone Know Before Creating a FiestaDates Account? Before you jump in and join FiestaDates, there are a few things you should know that will help you set realistic expectations. Time investment.  Building connections takes time. You can actually expect that once you set up a profile and suddenly have tons of great conversations right away. Success takes consistent effort over weeks, not days. Profile quality matters.  The effort you put into your profile directly affects your results. Good photos and a thoughtful description make a big difference in how people respond to you. Stay active.  The platform works better for people who browse profiles, send messages, and engage with the community. If you just sit back and wait for others to reach out, you probably won't get much action. 4. Why Do Some Users Choose FiestaDates Over Bigger, More Famous Platforms? Some people pick FiestaDates.com specifically because it's not one of those huge mainstream platforms. The bigger the site, the more it can be overwhelming. Basically, you are competing with millions of people, and it's pretty easy to get lost. FiestaDates has a user base without that chaotic energy. How exactly does it help? Conversations are more thoughtful and less rushed. People actually read profiles and send warm messages instead of some generic mass-spamming just to get a few replies at best. Plus, the design is clean without tons of features you don't really need. 5. What Can Users Actually Do on FiestaDates Without Spending Money? Here's something surprising: FiestaDates offers quite a bit without making you pay. Free.  You can create a profile, browse members, check out the newsfeed, send likes and save profiles, follow users, and receive messages.  Premium.  If you want to send your own messages, use stickers, or send photos, you will need to pay. 6. How Does the FiestaDates Login Process Reveal the Platform's Priorities? The way a platform handles sign-up tells you what it cares about. FiestaDates keeps things quick but secure. You go to the homepage and click registration. Then they ask for basic stuff like your name, email, birthday, gender, and what type of people you want to find. Then you get a verification email to confirm your account. After that, you add photos and write about yourself. Overall, it won't take you more than 10 minutes to finish. 7. What Type of Person Actually Succeeds on FiestaDates? People who succeed share a few traits. They are proactive and reach out instead of waiting. They put effort into quality profiles with good photos and descriptions. They are also patient because they know that connections take time. Successful users are genuine about who they are and what they want. They don't pretend to be someone else. They also have clear goals, whether it's friendships, conversations, or relationships; knowing what you're after makes a difference. 8. Why Doesn't FiestaDates Have a Mobile App, And Does It Actually Matter? FiestaDates doesn't have a mobile app. You use your phone's browser instead. Why? The web version works just fine on any device without downloads or storage space. Updates happen automatically without app store approvals. Plus, some people actually prefer not having dating apps visible on their phones for privacy. Does this hurt your experience? Not really. The mobile site works smoothly with all the same features. For some people, it also looks to be faster, but the difference isn't a dealbreaker for most users. 9. What Security Feature on FiestaDates Surprises Most New Users? Here's something that caught us off guard: FiestaDates keeps your profile completely hidden from search engines like Google. It means that if someone searches your name, your FiestaDates profile won't show up. Your photos and activity stay private within the platform. Many people don't think about this until coworkers or family stumble across their profiles on other sites. FiestaDates makes privacy a default feature instead of something you dig through settings to find. Final Thoughts Should you try FiestaDates? If you want a straightforward platform to connect with people, it's worth a shot. The site is legit with free and paid features. What makes it stand out are little touches like the drafts, the "Let's Talk" feature for easier first messages, and automatic search engine privacy. So, how to start on FiestaDates? Start with the free version to see if you like it. Put effort into your profile and be genuine. Success takes time and patience, but if you approach it right, FiestaDates can help you find interesting people. By ML Staff. Content/image courtesy of FiestaDates.

So you came across Datesflow, and now you are trying to figure out what it is all about. Another dating site? A hookup platform? Something else? It is hard to tell these days because every platform looks the same until you actually sign up. Photo credit: Depositphotos . Here is the thing: understanding what a platform is really used for matters more than you think. 78%  of Gen Z have already faced “dating burnout”. That is a huge number, and a lot of it comes down to people ending up on platforms that were not what they expected. This Datesflow review will break down what the platform is actually for, how it works, and what makes it different from the usual swipe-and-hope apps out there. You will learn about the safety features, who uses it, what you can do on it, and whether it is legit or just another waste of time. What Is Datesflow and Why You Should Consider It? Now, we will start with something simple like “What is Datesflow, and why are people talking about it?” In a nutshell, Datesflow is a platform where you can connect with people and actually build some form of connection: friendships, relationships, you tell. The best part? You have all the right tools to do that (we will discuss them further in the article). Datesflow works just fine on both desktops and mobile devices. It also has a pretty easy-to-understand interface, so you won't have to waste days figuring out where that little button is, since everything is clear and simple on the screen. What makes Datesflow worth bringing up? Simple: we saw that it's actually a platform where you can feel at home. Everyone seems to be chill and quite open to talking to. Of course, you will find some ‘interesting’ people, but there is a report button available for these specific cases. Overall, people on Datesflow are after different goals: some want love, some communication, some just to have fun chat for the night. Make sure you know what you are after, and you will have a good time. What Features Does Datesflow Offer? Datesflow dating platform comes packed with tools that help you find people and keep conversations flowing. Whether you are trying to figure out who to talk to, break the ice with someone new, or just show someone you are interested without going all in, the platform has you covered. Let's see what you can actually do: Chats.  These are for texting back and forth with people you want to get to know. Mails.  Want to go deeper into chat? Use mails – longer messages where you can actually share what's on your mind or dive into topics you care about. Photo sharing.  Send pictures inside the chats or mails to show what you're up to or give conversations that personal touch. Have a dog you want to show? Then show! Let's Talk.  Stuck on what to say? A common issue, we know that. Here, you can use pre-written conversation starters that you can edit to make them fit your specific writing style. Stickers.  Don't just use text or photos in the chat. Datesflow has a set of themed stickers that can be a good way to show emotions without typing out a whole paragraph. Drafts.  Started writing something, but got pulled away from the chat? No worries. Your messages are saved automatically, so you can return and actually send that message you struggled with forever to write. Likes.  Like someone but afraid to be too pushy with messages? Just hit the like button on their profile to let them know you noticed them. Search filters.  Don't want to scroll forever to find that one person to talk to? Use the search filter to narrow down profiles by online status, age, and location. Is Datesflow Legit or Should You Be Skeptical? Another question you might have before signing up is “ Is Datesflow safe , or should you stay away?” Here’s what we found: It has security measures to protect your data, and it's not some outdated algorithms. Instead, it's a well-used encryption method, moderation team, and verification process – everything to keep you safe. Datesflow users who have joined say it works the way it should. People set up profiles, look through others, send messages, and actually find some like-minded people to talk to. However, how well they do depends on how much effort they put in and what they are looking for in the community. How Do You Sign Up and Complete the Datesflow Login Process? So you want to join Datesflow? Good news: getting set up won't take forever, and you don't need to be tech-savvy to figure it out. Here's how the whole thing works. First, you go to the Datesflow homepage, where you will find a button that says something like "Join" or "Register." Click that and you are on your way. Next up, they will ask you to fill out some basic stuff about yourself. Think name, email, birthday, and what gender you are. They will also want to know what kind of people you are hoping to find, which helps them show you relevant profiles down the road. After you send that in, go check your inbox since Datesflow will send you a verification link. Click that link to activate your account. Once that's done, you can log in and start building out your profile. Add some quality photos (no blurry ones or where you're in a group) and write something about yourself (please, more than 2 words). It is basically your introduction to everyone else on the site, so make it count. Final Thoughts: Should You Try Datesflow? So, should you give Datesflow a shot?

How Do You Create an Account and Complete the HeartsDates Login? Getting started on HeartsDates is pretty easy. The platform doesn't make you jump through a bunch of hoops just to set up a profile. Here's how the whole sign-up thing works: Visit the website.  Head to the HeartsDates homepage and find the sign-up or registration button. Fill out the basics.  You will need to enter some info like your name, email, birthday, and gender. They also ask what type of people you want to meet. It is needed to immediately filter out those who won't fit your preferences. Check your email.  After you submit everything, go to your inbox and look for a verification email from HeartsDates.

Marking its 20th anniversary, Design Miami/ 2025 returns with the curatorial theme “Make. Believe.” , featuring more than 70 exhibitors and over 25 debut presentations honoring visionary collectible design across generations.  Design Miami's programming for Miami Art Week 2025 highlights the 20th anniversary edition of its Miami Beach fair. Marking the culmination of the brand’s 20th anniversary year through 2025, the Miami Beach fair returns to its flagship location at Pride Park from December 3 -7, 2025 , with Preview Day on December 2 .    Design Miami and Bank of America Private Bank are also proud to announce their inaugural Title Partnership on the occasion of Design Miami’s anniversary edition. The partnership emerges during a moment of celebration around two decades of pioneering design, creativity, and cultural exchange. This partnership reflects Bank of America’s ongoing commitment to supporting the vibrant community of designers, collectors, and thought leaders who are shaping the future of design; and underscores a significant recognition of the importance to spark dialogue, support emerging talent, and champion design as a vital part of the cultural economy.   The fair celebrates Design Miami’s two decades of championing the design avant-garde, with curatorial director Glenn Adamson and the theme Make. Believe. , honoring the collectible design visionaries of the past and present, and spotlighting those of the future. Focusing on the intersection between skilled and knowledgeable craft and wild flights of imagination, the theme perceives design as a space of fantastical projection, but a fantasy that is grounded in reality. Imagination comes to life through craft, in all its forms.    Marking this milestone year, the fair also unveils Design Miami 2.0 , a Special Project curated by Adamson featuring works by eight of today’s most compelling voices in contemporary design. The title offers a visual nod to Design Miami’s 20th anniversary, while playfully signaling new beginnings as the fair looks ahead to its next decade.     Design Miami CEO, Jen Roberts says : “This edition of Design Miami marks the culmination of our milestone 20th anniversary—a year spent reflecting on our two decades of evolution while looking ahead at what’s to come. We began the year with the launch of Design Miami.In Situ, our debut exhibition in Seoul, a return to Paris, and now we have come full circle returning to Miami. We are thrilled to be presenting an incredibly robust program, welcoming over 70 international exhibitors. This edition’s curatorial theme, Make. Believe., could not be more fitting—a celebration of the extraordinary power of design to turn imagination into reality.”  Curatorial Director, Glenn Adamson, says : “It’s an honor to be returning to Design Miami as Curatorial Director for this 20th anniversary edition. It seems like a unique opportunity to reflect on the fair’s legacy while considering new paths forward. The theme, Make. Believe., epitomizes Design Miami’s spirit of discovery. We’re putting next generation voices alongside established and historic designers, creating a conversation about skilled craft and unfettered imagination, and the way those two things continually inform each other. Design Miami has always been a meeting point of practicality and possibility. This year, we intend to create that spark of inspiration throughout the fair, to evoke the feeling that design’s future is unfolding before us.”     SVP of Fairs, Grela Orihuela, says:  "Over the past two decades, Design Miami has told the story of collectible design—championing the cutting edge of contemporary practice, honoring design legacies, and nurturing new voices and ideas. As we celebrate this dual spirit of heritage and innovation, we’re delighted to welcome more than 25 debut exhibitors to this year’s fair. Their presence, alongside our returning and long-established galleries, shows that the future of collectible design is bright."   CURATORIAL HIGHLIGHTS   The Make. Believe. theme invites a diverse engagement from exhibitors, spotlighting the intersection of skilled craftsmanship and expertise with thoughtful imagination, to celebrate design in its purest form.    THE DESIGN AVANT GARDE THROUGH THE AGES   Throughout Design Miami’s 20-year history it has been committed to platforming the cutting edge of design from historic icons through to pioneering contemporary voices.   Mass Modern Design (Roosendaal) presents Art Meets Furniture —a curated journey through leading visionary pieces of 20th century design, and an exploration of how the boundaries between fine art and functional design blurred in the hands of bold creators. The presentation places a spotlight on designers who challenge the norms of industrial design, transforming functional furniture into collectible works. Highlights include a 1983 sculptural love seat by David Delthony , and a 1951 desk by Renato Angeli & Claudio Olivieri , in conversation with Rock Chair (2003) by Studio Job .   Mercado Moderno (Rio de Janeiro) brings a special collection of historical pieces, with the refined curation that characterizes the gallery: essentially elegant and organic ambiences, with handcrafted works and minimalist forms, in complete harmony with the desires of present collectionism. Marking a continued commitment to platforming the pinnacle of contemporary and historic Brazilian design, Mercado Moderno gallery will showcase the likes of Joaquim Tenreiro , Zanine Caldas , and Jorge Zalszupin —as well as new faces, such as Rodrigo Simão , Inês Schertel , Alê Jordão , amongst others.   Moderne Gallery (Philadelphia)  is a leading specialist in the work of  George Nakashima , the Japanese-American furniture designer and craftsman who left an indelible mark on American design, pioneering a new design vocabulary that bridged the gap between Eastern and Western design sensibilities and Japanese woodworking traditions. Highlights on show this year include an extremely rare pair of  Conoid Benches  by Nakashima. Designed as a pair in 1972 at the request of an important patron, the benches were brought to life from the same American black walnut tree, forming a truly matching pair. The gallery will also present Nakashima’s  Kevin End Table   (1981), featuring a highly expressive, free form top crafted from a single slab of English Walnut, offering a contrapuntal harmony with the strong architectural angularity of the base and support structures.   Making its Design Miami debut, Galerie Signé (Paris) presents works by Marie & Alexandre , Julie Richoz , and Martin Szekely , alongside Emmanuel Outy and a selection of drawings by 1980s French designer duo Nemo —a curation that reflects the gallery’s commitment to nurturing emerging designers and fostering a critical conversation within design history. Highlights include Marie & Alexandre, whose work across blown glass, ceramic, wood, and wrought iron explores the expressive potential of materials and traditional savoir-faire. A new chandelier from their Berries lighting collection will be unveiled on the occasion of the fair. Additionally, Richoz will debut an unseen large-scale piece, alongside a lighting design which sees a suspended choreography of tone and translucency, composed of fabric and wood.   Presenting within the Curio program, Superhouse (New York) returns to Design Miami with American Art Furniture: 1980–1990 —the gallery’s third appearance at the fair and the first presentation devoted entirely to historical work. The exhibition offers a rare encounter with landmark examples of American design  outside a museum setting, with works by 12 pioneering designers including Alex Locadia , Dan Friedman , Elizabeth Browning Jackson , Forrest Myers , Gloria Kisch , Howard Meister , Michele Oka Doner , Pippa Garner , Richard Snyder , Terence Main , Tom Loeser , and Wendy Maruyama . By bringing together a selection of works debuting publicly for the first time, Superhouse reasserts the radical experimentation that defined American art furniture in the 1980s. Making its first participation in Design Miami, Achille Salvagni Atelier (New York) , will present a Special Project, Memories of the Future . The scenographic installation sets iconic pieces by Italian masters from the 1950s in conversation with contemporary creations by Salvagni . The presentation is curated to invite a conversation around the ongoing relationship between memory and modernity—a tribute to design as both legacy and prophecy.     MATERIAL POSSIBILITY.   Amongst the highlights of this year’s edition of Design Miami, is a celebration of design as a physical manifestation and form to communicate wild flights of imagination, realized through dedication to skill and expert craft.   Through an exploration of material possibilities, a key focus on glass emerges. Galerie SCENE OUVERTE (Paris) , in addition to its Gallery presentation, will showcase scenographic Curio dedicated to works by Simone Crestani . Layers of blown glass ornaments in a variety of organic and zoological shapes are delicately placed to create an immersive experience; once light flows through the installation, luminous pools are created to evoke a dreamlike journey through an underwater garden.    Nouvel (Milan) will present Glass Reflections— a design residency exploring glass innovations through the works of five international designers including Julie Richoz , Nicolas Le Moigne , Laurin Schaub , Dimitri Nassisi , and Michel Charlot . The five-year collaborative program took place in Nouvel’s Mexico-based workshop, offering designers a deep dive into the material qualities of glass and its creative potential. Through an exploration of the material possibility of glass, each designer applies their unique approach to exploring how it can serve both as a medium for reflection, and a platform for applied experimentation. The result is a presentation that spotlights boundary-pushing craftsmanship and expertise of glass craft, with works panning from artistic to architectural.      Taking the concept of material possibility into new realms and otherworldly visual languages, a number of galleries will present works that engage with collectible design through a futuristic lens. Participating within the curatorial project, Design Miami 2.0, David Klein Gallery (Ferndale) presents works by Jack Craig . Trained in electrophysics and steeped in an intuitive design practice, Craig transforms humble, synthetic carpeting into vibrant sculptural forms that blur the boundaries between art, furniture, and fantasy. For this presentation, Craig debuts a selection of his signature “molded carpet” works—fanciful, other-worldly pieces that seem to have emerged from an imagined collision between industrial experimentation and cosmic phenomena.    Also showcasing with Design Miami 2.0, TF Design (San Francisco) , the studio founded by sculptural designer Tina Frey , will debut its Orbit Collection in bronze. The three-piece series marks an evolution in materiality and form, exploring permanence and tactility through the lens of collectible design. Inspired by celestial movement and orbital planes, the pieces— Orbit 1, Orbit 2 and Orbit 3— embody Frey’s distinct sculptural language of harmonious curves and organic contours. Each work began as a clay model hand-sculpted by Frey before being cast in bronze in the foundry. Hand-polished to retain the natural striations of the original clay, the surfaces capture the interplay of light, shadow and space with a substantial presence.   Returning to Design Miami, Hostler Burrows (New York) presents Ten Women— a group presentation highlighting ten female designers and artisans whose works explore themes of natural structures and scientific form, artifice, and originality. Drawing on the wellspring of Nordic ceramics and sculpture that has long been the basis of Hostler Burrows’ programming, the designers featured each operate out of studios through Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and the United States. Jasmin Anoschkin , Anne Brandhoj , Frida Fjellman , Maren Kloppmann , Astrid Krogh , Jenny Nordberg , Eun-Ha Paek , Kristina Riska , Anat Shiftan , and Eva Zethraeus , each bring a conscious awareness to their medium of choice, playfully engaging with the inherent possibilities of ceramics, carved wood, and blown glass to unexpected and evocative results.   Wexler Gallery (Philadelphia) returns to Design Miami to showcase newly represented designers from its international program. Responding to this year’s theme, Make. Believe. , the exhibition is a celebration of imagination, material exploration, and the maker’s hands as a counterpoint to mass production. Ezra Ardolino merges robotic precision with expressive form, crafting stick-laminated furniture that transforms engineered materials into poetic shapes. Meanwhile, Cimone Kind Berman ’s mixed-media mirrors fuse glass, metal, and pigment into portals that feel both ancient and futuristic. The gallery will also present works by Henry Baumann , Marcus Vinicius De Paula , Sofia Karakatsanis , Tom Palmer , Erin Sullivan , and Jennifer Trask .   J. Lohmann Gallery (New York) presents Crafted Excellence , a curated presentation that will spotlight Merete Rasmussen , Sara Dodd , Ahryun Lee , Toni De Jesus , Jongjin Park , and Sandra Davolio . The collection features exceptional examples of ceramic materiality and a spotlight on expert technical knowledge and skills to forge unique techniques during their artistic process that produce works born of imagination.     SPIRITUALITY & STORYTELLING.    Harnessing design to interpret myth and spirituality through the ages, this year’s exhibitors explore the ways art and craft can tell stories, evoke transcendence, and connect shared human experiences.   Ippodo Gallery (New York) presents a curated selection of artworks that embody hope, lightness, and spiritual reflection, celebrating materials and techniques that evoke radiance, transcendence, and narrative depth. Exploring the interplay of light and texture, the presentation reveals the subtle glow and depth found throughout traditional Japanese craftsmanship. As Japan continues to embrace modern minimalist and wabi-sabi philosophies, the showcase reflects an ongoing evolution of heritage and innovation. Spotlighting leading contemporary kogei artists pushing boundaries on material and form, Ippodo Gallery engages in a wider conversation about preserving tradition while redefining its role in contemporary art.   Roham Shamekh (Dubai) unveils The Roots Sofa , a sculptural piece that invites reflection on our collective human experience, awareness, and emotions. Evoking a timeless presence, spanning past, present, and future, the work transcends function to become a manifestation of our shared history and consciousness. By appealing to our collective roots, Shamekh  reminds viewers of the ability to shape our connected future.    Charles Burnand Gallery (London) presents Monuments of Ether, a bold vision of the monumental reimagined, conjuring memory, atmosphere, and belief. The curated presentation offers an invitation into a liminal realm where form becomes fiction, and material becomes myth. The exhibition unites artists whose practices push beyond function, toward the speculative and the sublime; featuring new works by DEGLAN , Fabrikr , Marc Fish , Myungtaek Jung , Kyeok Kim , Peter Lane , Jungin Lee , Yanxiong Lin , Julian Mayor , Yaerin Pyun , Weon Rhee , Studio Furthermore and Jan Waterston . Each work exists in a state of suspension between the physical and the imagined, striking a dialogue between works that stand as a monument to the past and artefacts of a future unearthed—from charred Iroko wood and carbon-lacquered surfaces, to dichroic metals and layered hanji paper. Presenting under the Design Miami 2.0 Special Project, Mehdi Dakhli (Paris) reveals the Muravey Chair , a contemporary reinterpretation of the original Sidi Bou Chair. Crafted from Pink Ivory wood and upholstered in a wool, viscose, and cotton bouclé fabric, the African material once reserved for royalty in the Zulu kingdom adds a sense of  historical reverence. Seamlessly balancing strength and comfort, the pairing offers a harmonious dialogue between the spiritual and material worlds, combining history, craftsmanship, and modern design.   Also presenting a selection of works as part of Design Miami 2.0, Ukrainian designer, architect, and artist Victoria Yakusha (Brussels) unveils The Land of Light II. The next chapter in her sculptural series, Yakusha responds to a world shaped by change to explore ways of enduring, carrying on, and preserving one’s inner light over time. Introducing four new mythical beings, each design embodies distinct human qualities: wisdom and acceptance, wonder and hope, uniqueness and curiosity, tenderness and kindness. Hand-sculpted using Yakusha’s signature sustainable material, ZTISTA, a tactile blend of clay, flax, wood chips, and biopolymer, the designs become vessels for memory, emotion and ritual. Together, they enact Yakusha’s guiding philosophy of “live minimalism,” where designs feel both ancient and futuristic.  GEOLOGY & GEOGRAPHY.    Journeying from the micro and molecular to the macro, this year’s presentations take on a geological quality, exploring modes of design with a distinct geographic sensibility that reflects the materials, landscapes, and forces shaping our modern world.   Returning to Design Miami for its second year, Mouvements Modernes (Paris) presents a curated exhibition dedicated to pioneering designers of the 1980s-1990s in dialogue with emerging creators. Highlights include Dan Friedman ’s USA tables (1993), influenced by the American art scene of the 80s and Italian Memphis movement, in addition to the Totem Axis White Rabbit   (2022) by Tim Leclabart and Arc en ciel (1998) by Elizabeth Garouste & Mattia Bonetti —a lacquered wood chest of drawers detailed with white patinated wrought iron and Saint-Just glass. Dubai-based artist, KAMEH (Dubai) , joins the Design Miami 2.0 program to debut KAMEH 6.0 , an evocative new collection of objects created in collaboration with skilled local artisans in the UAE. Centered around nature and the shared human experience, the works channel the raw beauty of the desert and the delicate geometry of the desert rose, celebrating its crystalline forms shaped by sand and time. Intricate shapes are reimagined as sculptural furniture objects, drawing upon the interplay of shadow and light in a series of charred wood pieces. Creating a dialogue between permanence and impermanence, the works rest upon large mirrors, allowing visitors to experience the installation from every angle.    Adrian Sassoon (London) presents a journey-led experience inviting viewers to explore juxtapositions in contemporary design. Debuting new works by Kate Malone inspired by geological forms, detailed surfaces and precious materials are highlighted, while larger-scale vases, lighting, and installations offer visual anchors to complement the overall display. Together, the pieces encourage contemplation of materiality, form, and the landscapes that inspire them, connecting design to both geography and the natural world.   RECRAFTED TRADITIONS.    Contemporary interpretations of historic craft reimagine ancestral techniques and forms, bridging heritage and innovation to create works that honor the past in dialogue with the present day.   Friends Artspace (Virginia) presents a collection of works that transform tradition, reclaiming inherited forms and techniques while reimagining their original meanings. Highlights include works by Kawabi , whose wood and paper lighting draws on Japanese joinery to create sacred objects for an imagined ancestral home, and Aspen Golan , who reinterprets 18th and 19th century broom-making, transforming domestic tools into sculptural tributes to collective labor. By elevating the accessible, the imperfect, and the overlooked, these designers remove their materials from the industrial sphere, transforming them into objects of lasting presence—intended to carry the intimacy of craft alongside the power of reimagined tradition. Following the debut of Design Miami In Situ.Seoul earlier this year, Gallery LVS (Seoul) has partnered with The Korea Craft and Design Foundation to platform a series of works by leading Korean designers. Marking a continued commitment to Korean heritage craft and innovation, highlights include works by Chun Kwang-young , Bae Se-hwa , Kim Dong-jun , Chang Yeon-soon , Yoo Da-hyun , and Kim Doek-ho .  Globally acclaimed designer, Stephen Burks (New York) and ALPI , leaders in sustainable wooden surfaces, join forces with Friedman Benda for the Design Miami 2.0 Special Project to present The Lost Cloth Object . The project translates the textile traditions of the ancient Kuba Kingdom (present day Democratic Republic of Congo) into the innovative woodworks of Italian manufacturer ALPI, highlighting the elaborate, embroidered geometric patterns of Kuba cloths. Renowned for its engineered wood veneers, with designs by luminaries such as Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini, and Piero Lissoni, ALPI collaborates with Burks to revive the natural grain, color, and patterns of endangered woods. Conceptualized following a weeklong workshop in Kinshasa with the contemporary Kuba collective Kilubukila, the project fuses two culturally diverse perspectives into a series of independent, functionally designed pieces that celebrate both heritage and innovation. PET Lamp (Madrid) , founded by Spanish designer Álvaro Catalán de Ocón, transforms discarded plastic bottles into unique works while preserving traditional craftsmanship worldwide. Since 2012, the project has collaborated with artisan communities across Colombia, Chile, Ethiopia, Thailand, Australia, and Ghana, blending contemporary technology with ancestral techniques. Working with local craftswomen, PET Lamp applies traditional basketry and weaving methods to repurpose PET bottles into functional lighting, reimagined as immersive installations that celebrate sustainability, community solidarity, women’s empowerment, and cultural preservation.   Sten Studio (Mexico City) presents Lithic Bloom: A Sculptural Garden ; a collection of works that transform the fragility of flowers and petals into immortalized stone. Reimagining the softness of leaves into mineral geometry, the vibrancy of life meets with sculptural permanence. Evoking the forms and essence of the natural world, these stone artifacts celebrate the diversity of botanical life, paying homage to nature through meticulous craftsmanship and timeless design.

Ten North Group announced that its 13th annual Art of Transformation (AOT)  will take place Wednesday, December 3rd through Saturday, December 6th, 2025 at the Ten North Group Campus in the Opa-locka Arts District. This year’s theme, “ At the Edge of Entanglement ,” will be featured across six original exhibitions spanning two city blocks, including the recently restored Opa-locka Historic City Hall, now a key cultural hub in the city. Once a neglected Moorish Revival landmark, the restored City Hall has become a catalyst for Opa-locka’s cultural and economic growth, highlighting the city as a destination for creativity and community, and paving the way for the future Florida Museum of Black History . Presented by Ten North Group , AOT is made possible with support from R4 Capital, the City of Opa-locka, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, and Art of Black. As an official Art Basel Miami Beach satellite event and an affiliate of Miami Art Week, AOT continues to showcase the transformative power of art in shaping communities. The 2025 theme, “At the Edge of Entanglement,” explores the complex cultural, historical, and political forces influencing Black art today. Artists will confront issues of identity, oppression, resilience, and liberation—turning struggle into creation. The exhibitions feature painting, performance, photography, sculpture, and literary work, highlighting the interplay of memory, innovation, beauty, and heritage. Looking Ahead: The Florida Museum of Black History Opa-locka’s rising cultural profile is reflected in Ten North Group’s ongoing efforts to host the future Florida Museum of Black History . In 2024, Opa-locka was named one of the top three proposed sites for the museum after a statewide evaluation, affirming the city’s historical and cultural importance. Ten North Group continues to advance this vision through events like AOT, which attract visitors, celebrate creative expression, and solidify Opa-locka’s place on Florida’s cultural map. Dr. Willie Logan , President and CEO of Ten North Group, said:"Opa-locka is entering its next century with purpose and pride. The Art of Transformation is more than an exhibition; it announces a city emerging as a cultural destination, where creativity, culture, and history converge. Through experiences like AOT, we advance the vision of the Florida Museum of Black History, lift our neighborhoods, and welcome new audiences to Opa-locka’s rich cultural landscape."
