Renowned Glass Artist Abby Modell Creates Stunning ‘Cosmic Pearl’ Installation for Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas

This striking glass and metal wall divider, created for the ship’s dining room, continues Modell’s signature exploration of light, reflection, and texture, merging functional design with sculptural artistry.

Introducing ‘Cosmic Pearl’, contemporary glass artist Abby Modell‘s latest commissioned work aboard Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas. This striking glass and metal wall divider, created for the ship’s dining room, continues Modell’s signature exploration of light, reflection, and texture, merging functional design with sculptural artistry. A custom installation piece that stands as a testament to her ongoing collaborations with Royal Caribbean, where her visionary approach to glass transforms interiors into immersive, luminous environments.

Inspired by the sparkly night sky and dreamy oceanic reflections, heaven and earth merge together creating a harmonious surreal vision. A celestial iridescent Cosmic Pearl starburst surrounded by luminous baby stars reflects images below the ocean’s surface and above in the galactic universe. Cosmic Pearl captures shifting light within the dining room, transforming the space into an immersive environment that celebrates the harmony between sea and cosmos. Aboard the world’s largest cruise ship, this striking commission carries Modell’s vision across new horizons, offering passengers a moment of wonder suspended between earth and universe.

Public Art in the Miami Design District | Ad Minoliti: Pink Spatial Microbiota

 A Must-See in the Miami Design District, Ad Minoliti: Pink Spatial Microbiota, by appointment only - located at 3841 NE 2nd Ave. 400, Miami, Florida 33137. This site-specific installation reimagines the space of the stairwell as a digestive tube for the Buick building.  “I was inspired by the digestive system that moves food through the body, and by thinking of these internal spaces as an ecosystem,” Minoliti described. Microbiota refers to the bacteria, viruses and fungi that are crucial for immunologic, hormonal, and metabolic balance of all multicellular organisms. “There are an estimated 100 billion bacteria in the human body. We can't live without them. We contain multitudes.”

Public Art in the Miami Design District | Marc Newson DASH Fence (2007)

 

A Must-See in the Miami Design District, Marc Newson's DASH Fence (2007) located at 4001 NE 2nd Avenue - Miami, FL 33137. The DASH Fence by designer Marc Newson is a 100-ft fence installation at the Design & Architecture High School (DASH), creating a compelling environmental structure in the heart of the Miami Design District. Based conceptually on waves, the design consists of a thin metal frame of 400 vertical fins of varying depths that create a series of changing patterns. The appearance of the fence shifts based on point of view—up close, the fence allows a full view into and out from the DASH courtyard. However, from a distance, the surface becomes fully opaque and appears to undulate as the viewer passes by.

Public Art in the Miami Design District | Diamantina by The Campana Brothers (2008) Fernando and Humberto Campana

A Must-See in the Miami Design District, Diamantina by The Campana Brothers (2008) Fernando and Humberto Campana located in the Lobby at 4141 NE 2nd Avenue - Miami, FL 33137. Winner of the 2008 Design Miami/ Designer of the Year Award. Fernando and Humberto Campana of Estudio Campana create singularly joyful and expressive designs that bridge handcraft, limited edition, and mass production, frequently using discarded and mundane materials. For Design Miami/ 2008 the Campana brothers created Diamantina using the native Brazilian plant Apui, which grows on and eventually chokes rainforest trees. This rattan-like fiber is woven around plastic garden chairs and other ready-made plastic objects, such as discarded toys, dolls, flip-flops, and tires. Like the rainforest trees, the man-made objects are almost entirely swallowed up by the organic material, symbolizing nature's triumph over the synthetic world. With Diamantina, the Campana brothers expanded on this concept by introducing native Brazilian amethyst crystals into the woven structure, creating a series of biomorphic islands that visitors were encouraged to sit on and explore.

Public Art in the Miami Design District | Buckminster Fuller: Fly's Eye Dome 1979/80-2014

 

A Must-See in the Miami Design District, Buckminster Fuller: Fly's Eye Dome 1979/80-2014, located at 140 NE 39th Street in Miami, Florida 33137, known as Palm Plaza. In 1965 Buckminster Fuller designed and patented the Fly’s Eye Dome, which he called an “autonomous dwelling machine”. Prototypes began to be built by hand in 1977, and by 1983 three of the fiberglass spheres in various sizes (12-foot, 24-foot, 50-foot) had been produced. Fuller died before he was able to realize his vision for the structure. However, almost 50 years later, the design, a Monohex variation of the geodesic dome, can clearly be seen as a forerunner of today’s green building movement. In 2011, collector Craig Robins acquired the 24-foot prototype to exhibit it and use it as inspiration for a key element of the Miami Design District. The following year, The Buckminster Fuller Institute, in partnership with Goetz Composites, ConformLab, and DRDesign, began the development of a program to complete Fuller’s vision, using advanced technologies and materials not available to Fuller in the 1970s. BFI was then commissioned to produce a Fly’s Eye Dome utilizing state-of-the-art materials, intelligence, and techniques, to be prominently incorporated in the Miami Design District.

Public Art in the Miami Design District | Check out "Vortex" (2014) by 2x4

 

A Must-See in the Miami Design District, Vortex (2014) by 2x4, located at NE 38th St. between NE 2nd Ave. and NE 1st Ave. Miami, FL 33137. Founded in 1994 by Michael Rock, Susan Sellers, and Georgianna Stout, 2x4 is a collaborative studio of designers, programmers, writers, and animators who work in visual media. As a studio, their project approach centers on critical thinking and research. As in their mural, “Vortex”, in the Miami Design District, this experimentation and research often culminate in bold graphic works that question the nature and conventions of design. Tasked with creating a piece for a perimeter wall, “Vortex” immediately draws the viewer in beckoning those who are curious to see what is on the other side.
