MIX MASTERS
Often joining forces with high-profile artists and craftspeople, Roche Bobois most recently tapped Brazilian sisters Cristina and Monica Souza to develop a vignette within its Coral Gables showroom. Founders of the interiors firm Avant Design, the sisters are known for bringing together people, life, and art in ways that seamlessly attune to Miami’s Latin vibe. “The vision for the collaboration was to deliver a space that reflects Roche Bobois’s French art de vivre and Avant Design’s approach to architecture and interior design,” the duo says. “Having been exposed to the full Roche Bobois collection, we realized the creative potential they offer, and our team was left spellbound by their know-how, and their commitment to realize what we could dream up.” 450 Biltmore Way, Miami, 305-4441017; roche-bobois.com

Best known for its fine marble, onyx, limestone, and semiprecious stone slabs, Opustone specializes in exquisite porcelain surfaces, too. Among its most extraordinary offerings are three new collections by Italian manufacturer Mutina, including printed Azulej cement tiles, industrial chromatic Mews tiles by London’s Barber & Osgerby, and textural, nature-derived Phenomenon tiles by Tokujin Yoshioka—all available through any of Opustone’s four Florida showrooms, including its newly opened location in West Palm Beach. 3200 NW 77th Ct., Miami, 305594-4200; opustone.com
MI CASA
Since launching in the Design District’s Luxury Living showroom more than 12 years ago, Fendi Casa has aimed to dress rooms with the same panache its clothing exudes. With the opening of Luxury Living’s largest dedicated 32,000-squarefoot showroom—designed by architect Michael Maltzan—in the Design District in May, the furniture distributor will expand the influence of Fendi Casa, as well as other celebrated brands like Bentley Home, Bugatti Home, Trussardi Casa, the Paul Mathieu Signature Collection, and Ritz Paris Home. 50 NE 39th St., Miami, 305-438-1660; luxurylivinggroup.com
