One of the Miami Design District’s major highlights is its annual Design Miami, a showcase of furniture and interior design that most people living in Miami Beach homes have visited or heard about at some point.  If things go as expected however, Design Miami may soon be moving from its original home to Miami Beach in order to coincide with the ultra popular Art Basel event.

Before you start worrying about the move, nothing has yet to be finalized but Miami Beach commissioners are already in the process of potentially approving a three year lease that will see Design Miami take place in a parking lot right across from the Miami Beach Convention Center.  The move is meant as a means of solidifying Design Miami’s ties to Art Basel but it will mean that the Miami Design District loses its biggest event.

If you’re a fan of both however, the Design Miami move means you’ll likely be able to walk from your Miami Beach homes to either or both events.  Does this seem like the right thing to do or will the move come at a cost to the popularity of the Miami Design District?  We’ll know the official design on Wednesday.
