Celebrating Respected Artisans at Our Miami Showroom

Artist Matt Gagnon constructs one of his signature Light Stacks against the Miami skyline.

Perched above the buzz of the Miami Design District, Gaggenau celebrated the opening of its Miami flagship showroom by gathering a group of skilled artists, respected for their unwavering commitment to excellence and passion within their craft, to share insights on what drives them in art, design, and cuisine.

Featured California artist and architect Matt Gagnon debuted new works including his “Light Stack” totem poles, which reflect their surroundings changing from day to night, as well as abstract steel sculptures and an otherworldly textured “volcano.” His ‘Gray Blue’ light stack is on permanent display and features stacks of various materials including glass, wood, concrete, acrylic, and steel. At dusk, its illumination in the showroom is stunning.

Also featured in the new showroom is exquisite hand-crafted porcelain tableware by Stefanie Hering, founder, artist and designer of German-based Hering Berlin. The pieces, which are not only elegant and artistic, are highly durable and will be used throughout the showroom.

“It’s not just about making plates, it’s about how you eat from them every day. Even if there’s just a strawberry coming in there, it’s [about] the respect for craftsmanship.”

Chef Alain Verzeroli, of Miami’s Two Michelin-Starred L′Atelier de Jöel Robuchon and One-Starred Le Jardinier, and Sarah Pallack, head of Maison Ruinart Champagne, US, also helped open the showroom with champagne toasts served in stemware from German-based company Josephinenhütte and beautifully prepared bites crafted in the new showroom kitchen.

The showroom elegantly presents a full suite of the latest Gaggenau appliances amongst carefully chosen materials honoring a commitment to craftsmanship and uncompromising performance including signature wood elements sustainably sourced from the Black Forest by German timber experts Schotten & Hansen and innovative lighting by German-based Occhio GmbH. The design concept developed for this showroom stems from merging Gaggenau’s minimalist aesthetic with Miami’s Art Deco glamor, creating a “Minimal Deco” design style offering a serene respite for culinary enthusiasts, architects and designers.
