From December 2 to 7, Alcova Miami returns for its third chapter during Miami Art Week with a program installed once again across the Miami River Inn. The venue, one of the oldest hotels in the city, sits in East Little Havana with pastel facades and dense tropical vegetation that form a quiet zone within the neighborhood. The setting introduces visitors to a site shaped by history and defined by the character of its 1908 mansions.
The event runs daily from 11 AM to 7 PM and features more than 40 exhibitors who occupy the River Inn’s cluster of timber structures. The original Victorian boarding house layout guides visitors through a sequence of rooms, porches, and passages. Each space hosts a project or site-specific intervention.
The full list of Alcova Miami 2025 participants includes: AB+AC Architects, Adrian Cruz Elements, Bellafonté Studio, Berto, Casa Ankan, Dace Sūna, Daiana Meligrana Studio, Daniel Elkayam (KAYAM), ERM Studio, Esto, Evan Fay Furniture, Franck Genser x Tonester, Gailaz, Giansanti Home x Gloria Melidoni, Haworth x Patricia Urquiola, Jensin Okunishi Studio, Juana Truffat, Laufen x Roberto Sironi, LCD Textile Edition, Marco Zelli, Marlot Baus, Monics+Vieira, MTR Studio, Objects of Common Interest, Ombia Studio, Palaty Gallery, Piccoli Smalti, Pininfarina x Alpha Additive, Room-File, SeamlessNote, Somad NYC x David Aliperti, Stephanie Lin / Present Forms, Strat Coffman, Studio Christine Kalia, Studio Mærz, Studio Sophie C., Terumi Saito, Undress House, and Vincent Laine.
The works establish a cross-disciplinary study of materials and the ways they change through process. Exhibitors present research that spans clay casting, experimental production tools, and approaches situated between analog methods and emerging technologies. Projects look for new identities within material behavior and show how experimentation can reshape form and structure.
Patricia Urquiola and Haworth, the Main Partner of Alcova Miami 2025, create a setting for gathering within the River Inn’s oval courtyard. The installation converts the turf into an open space marked by a grid painted in Alcova’s signature pink.
Several installations trace cultural and ritual sources. Exhibitors reference Colombian Indigenous knowledge, Japanese approaches to memory, the legacy of the Swiss textile industry, and Italian techniques including cloisonné enamel, earth-cast bronze, and Murano glass.
The River Inn’s plaza will support a program of talks, roundtable discussions, and events throughout the week. Organizers will share additional details on the public schedule soon.
