Marking a celebratory milestone of 30 years in business, Adriana Hoyos continues to evolve. The Miami-based interior and furniture designer unveiled a new flagship showroom in Coral Gables as well as her latest furniture collection, Lua, which she collaborated on with her daughter and features 21 celestially informed pieces. Below, Hoyos talks inspiration, crafting unique furniture and how she continues reinventing.
Tell us about the concept behind the new collection. Lua was inspired by the moon’s phases, shapes, textures, colors and ancient history as well as how our ancestors idolized its divinity. The moon has a strong connection to nature and is a protagonist in various cycles, such as day and night, the tide and the growth of plants.
What makes these pieces unique? They are designed to seem as if they are floating, appearing in curved shapes influenced by the full, half and crescent moon phases. Each piece is carefully crafted, offering a sense of quiet elegance while remaining playful and dynamic.
After many years in the industry, how are you now approaching design? For me, design is a result of constant research, a deep understanding of my clientele and using my experience as a tool. I love to travel and observe trends—especially fashion—but what I love the most is creating authentic stories that become pieces of furniture or places to enjoy.
