The MADE team from Berlin is currently in Miami for Art Basel and Design Miami. We will follow them on their footsteps through out the week, as they discover the city, check out the latest exhibitions, meet some artists and more. First up is their visit to the Wynwood Walls project, which originally opened its doors in 2009.

“Murals by renowned street artists have covered the walls of the Wynwood Walls complex since 2009, and to create more canvases and bring more artists to the project, Tony opened the Wynwood Doors in 2010 with 176 feet of roll-up storefront gates. The Wynwood Walls has brought the world’s greatest artists working in the graffiti and street art genre to Miami. Jeffrey Deitch co-curated the first successful year of the project in 2009.”

In the mean time a lot more artists have come through and added their unique art to the district.

Marking the 19th Maison Martin Margiela brand store in the world, MMM announces the opening of a 2700 sq ft temporary shop in Miami, Florida. From the press release:

Following the F Factory Limited Edition Experiences, it was only logical to find a temporary location in the Miami Design District. Many will immediately ask as to exactly how temporary “Temporary” is! The Maison Martin Margiela’s reply to this is “However long it takes to find our dream home….. Yet temporary this location is!”

The atmosphere of this shop, adapted and decorated by Maison Martin Margiela, also draws on the prolific and iconographic use of whites – of furniture, objects, fabrics and textures, old and new – typical of the spirit of the Maison Martin Margiela’s Paris premises, a former school of industrial design, in the 11th arrondissement of the city. Furniture and architectural elements re-interpreted have been brought in to build on the space’s personality. The shop is a collection of “areas” to house each of the Maison’s collections. Each area is a distinct and unique space which uses elements of the Maison such as printed “wood” floors and tromp l’oeil effects. Using new and innovating expressions, the overall atmosphere of our Maimi store is composed by our symbolic variations of whites and our selection of furniture, materials and objects.

The Maison Martin Margiela collections for Spring/Summer 2010 will provide the shop’s first stock.
