Robert Aibel is one of the world's leading authorities on George Nakashima, both as a collector as well as a dealer since 1984.  I was most impressed by his exhibit at the Design Miami - Basel show at the beginning of this month.  While we were "talking" I thought how great would it be if we could showcase his great knowledge of the work of this Icon of American Design.

A LOUNGE YOU SAY???  The Flamingo Collectors Lounge at Design / Miami was created by Tabanlioglu Architects.   It captures the essential pink feel of Miami Beach and translates it into a beautiful rationalistic design, converting this  5-meter x 20-meter space into a magical place to escape the hustle and bustle and color overload of the show.

So I boarded the Middle Beach Loop (green line) and it takes you from Lincoln Road all the way up Collins and 30th and then on to Mount Sinai hospital (great parking idea) then lops back on Alton to Lincoln road!!!

Rossinavi di Viareggio is a Super Yacht Company which has been working n partnership with the International University of Monaco – they are the first in the world in this approach. Their research finds the median age of super yacht owners will shift to 35-45 in the next 20 years.  I look forward to blogging about them on Tuesday night.
