Cartier’s Miami flagship has reopened in the city’s vibrant Design District, where luxury and creativity converge. The boutique’s undulating glass facade by Diller Scofidio + Renfro beckons shoppers, while Laura Gonzalez’s (who is also behind New York’s Cartier Mansion and the newly opened Printemps) playful interiors invite guests into a world of color, craftsmanship, and modern elegance. The store is open everyday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Sundays from noon to 6 p.m.
Longtime Cartier collaborators Diller Scofidio + Renfro brought the exterior to life. “Etched on its surface is a pattern adapted from a 1909 Cartier brooch, which produces a diaphanous effect, allowing views into the store while preserving its sense of mystique,” says Founding Partner Elizabeth Diller.
In a playful homage to Miami’s natural beauty, leaf motifs climb the first-floor columns, drawing the eye upward, while the ground floor bursts with organic shapes and vibrant colors.

A mural on the marble staircase depicts palm trees, sea life, the Miami skyline, and more.
A V.I.P. lounge on the first floor is decked out in tones of coral.
“I imagined the store as a sensory journey. Each space evokes a different emotion: vitality and movement at the entrance, intimacy in the VIP lounges on the first floor, conviviality on the terrace with its welcoming, custom-made wavy benches. The entire journey is designed as a succession of landscapes intended to arouse curiosity and wonder,” says designer Laura Gonzalez.
