Lucid Design District Showcases 2025 Interior Design Trends Through CHROMA 2025 Exhibition

The Lucid Design District presents CHROMA 2025 – Vital Impulses in Contemporary Art, an exhibition that opens during Miami Art Week and continues through December 17, 2025, showcasing how contemporary artists are interpreting the most influential interior design trends of the coming year. The opening reception takes place on Wednesday, December 3, from 4:00–7:00 PM at the gallery located at 10 NE 41st Street in Miami, with free admission available through Eventbrite Tickets.

Curated by Graciela Montich, CHROMA 2025 brings together 22 international artists whose works intersect with architecture, materiality, and sustainability. As design in 2025 emphasizes natural textures, craftsmanship, and wellness-driven spaces, this exhibition celebrates how art mirrors the same impulses shaping modern interiors. Montich explains the curatorial approach: "Curating CHROMA 2025 through the lens of design highlights how art and interiors share the same emotional language. Each artist interprets balance, texture, and space differently, yet all invite reflection on how our surroundings shape our inner worlds."

The 2025 interior design landscape embraces warmth, texture, and authenticity—values shared by this year's participating artists. Cari Cohen from Miami reimagines architectural materials such as concrete and plexiglass into sculptural compositions that balance rigidity and rhythm. Sebastian De La Paz, an architect and designer from Ecuador and San Francisco, brings a structural sensibility to painting, merging spatial geometry and emotional resonance. The exhibition features artists who exemplify sustainable luxury, including Vanessa Gilbert from Canada, who uses recycled and upcycled materials that evoke ecological mindfulness, and curator Graciela Montich from Argentina and Miami, who creates mixed-media works on linen that pair natural texture with refined craftsmanship.

Mauro Arbiza from Uruguay bridges art and architecture through sculptural forms that emphasize proportion, volume, and permanence—qualities aligned with design's renewed focus on enduring craftsmanship. Sandra De Souza-Peixoto from Peru and Miami and Nadine Vogel from Folly Beach, South Carolina contribute color-driven works that echo the wellness and personalization themes defining interiors this year. Together, these artists transform Lucid Design District into a dialogue between form and feeling—illustrating how art enhances the spaces we inhabit through harmony, tactility, and imagination.

The exhibition represents a significant convergence of art and design industries, demonstrating how artistic expression increasingly informs commercial and residential interior spaces. This intersection has implications for designers, architects, and art collectors who seek to create environments that balance aesthetic appeal with emotional resonance and sustainability principles. The emphasis on natural materials and craftsmanship reflects broader industry shifts toward more authentic, environmentally conscious design practices that prioritize both beauty and responsibility.
