In the heart of Miami’s Design District, nestled between European jewellers and designer boutiques, Sofia reigns as the exuberant Princess of Miami, born out of a love affair between Contemporary Art and Italian cuisine.
Featuring a luxuriant sense of arrival, Sofia is a glamourous, bold and unexpected experience that seductively reveals its charm as guests meander through its catwalk. Livening the terrace imagined as a secret garden, a joyful curation of flamingo pink lacquered pieces, teak furnishings, and soft textiles is a playful design statement hinting at the artful experience ahead. Frilly rose umbrellas boast a fresh silhouette rooted in tradition yet utterly contemporary, while modernised peacock chairs pay homage to Miami’s illustrious Deco past.
Capturing spectators’ attention, a gleaming one-of-a-kind fixture illuminates the indoor/outdoor bar. Composed of twisting amethyst resin tubes meticulously lined up in an undulating wave, the shimmering chandelier was custom designed as a crystalline couture choker resting proudly on Sofia’s shoulders.
When exploring Sofia’s dining room, Miami’s sartorial elite will instantly connect with the venue envisioned as an art dealer’s entertainment den curated with pieces by Marco Grassi and Mr Brainwash. Defining the space, the honed marble floor boasts a modernised Deco pattern combining five pink and white marbles.
Dangling on the white ceiling like precious earrings, nine custom Barovier & Toso milky white glass chandeliers illuminate the room with continental sophistication. The elegant opaline fixtures were masterfully handblown and imported from Murano Island as treasured souvenirs brought back from a Venice escapade.
In the dining room, graceful, mirrored columns and polished chrome cabinets reflect Sofia’s extensive art collection and flaming pink velvet upholstered furniture. While most tables will host groups of four and more, three intimate niches offer a recessed point-of-view for smaller parties and a perfect setting for whispered secrets.
