Each December, as the double whammy of Design Miami and Art Basel Miami Beach rolls into town, we are presented with a vibrant visual feast that can often be as overwhelming as it is inspiring. Once again, we’ve called upon the discerning eye of our US editor Michael Reynolds to help us separate the wheat from the chaff. Seeking out the overlooked and alternative, Reynolds’ curated gallery presents us with the ultimate insider's view of Miami's annual art and design blockbuster.
