The Gucci snow globe installation in Miami’s Design District is a dazzling holiday centerpiece that blends festive cheer with the brand’s iconic heritage. Timed with Miami Art Week, the globe is on display at Sweet Bird North Plaza through January 7, inviting visitors to step into a whimsical world of Gucci’s legacy.
The installation pays homage to founder Guccio Gucci’s early days as a porter at The Savoy Hotel in London, where luxury luggage inspired his vision for the brand. Inside the snow globe, Gucci’s signature luggage pieces are showcased amid intricately crafted miniature replicas of landmarks like Palazzo Gucci in Florence and flagship stores in New York, Paris, and London.
Complementing the installation, Gucci collaborated with American artist Corydon Cowansage to create three art murals surrounding the plaza, making this a must-visit holiday experience for design and fashion enthusiasts alike.
