The Design & Art Fair once again turns Marbella into a national showcase for design.

Design & Art Fair once again turns Marbella into the national capital of design. The event, held at the Adolfo Suarez Congress Palace until March 29, features in its eighth edition 30 large-format exhibition spaces and about 100 brands, as well as a program of activities in an auditorium set up for presentations.

The mayor, Ángeles Muñoz, visited the event alongside the organizer, Alejandro Zayas, and highlighted that the meeting "has established itself as a benchmark in the sector." The mayor, who noted the high level of the proposals on display, thanked the promoter of the initiative for his commitment to the municipality and pointed out that "it presents Marbella as a space open to art and design." In this regard, she assured that "it allows bringing quality products closer to the public" and expressed her confidence that this edition "will be a success again, even surpassing last year's visitor numbers."

For his part, Zayas emphasized the institutional support since the first edition and explained that it is a national event held in Marbella, "since most of the participants come from outside Andalusia and choose the city for its potential as a market and for its growth in recent years."

Miele debuts at the fair with an installation designed by Helena Rocha and featuring Cosentino

In this edition, the fair features larger exhibition spaces and around a hundred brands, as well as design areas usable by the public such as the auditorium, the restaurant, and the terrace, where presentations and activities will take place during the days of the event.

International Benchmarks

This Friday was the turn of the German premium appliance brand Miele, which participated for the first time at Marbella Design & Art Fair with 'Timeless Design,' an installation conceived by interior designer Helena Rocha where the brand presents its new collection of integrated appliances in Pearl Beige finish. The installation incorporates stone from Cosentino, an international benchmark in surfaces for architecture and design, reinforcing the dialogue between technology, materiality, and interior architecture that articulates the entire project.

In addition to Miele and Cosentino, the fair features internationally renowned firms in design, technology, and lifestyle, including Bang & Olufsen, Technogym, Villeroy & Boch, Natuzzi Italia, Bosch, Hästens, Kaldewei, Inalco, and Iris Ceramica. Among the interior designers present are Estudio Marisa Gallo, Studio Nina Dubarry, Estudio Silvia Trigueros, José Arroyo, Magda Kujawa, Paralela, and Welcome Design, who will develop exclusive spaces where they will explore new ways of living through the relationship between materials, light, art, and architecture.

The exhibition tour of Marbella Design & Art Fair is completed with the presence of contemporary artists and galleries such as Anna Burko, Anna Westerlund, Daniel Valencia, Ronald Infante, or Excellence Art Gallery, which add an artistic dimension to the whole and reinforce the dialogue between art, design, and architecture, one of the conceptual axes that define the spirit of the event.
