Eighties Miami

The Miami color palette of the 1980s was simultaneously Art Deco revival and neon-saturated contemporary: the pastel-toned Ocean Drive facades combined with the electric pink and aqua of pool parties and nightlife. Miami Vice made the color combination of pink, aqua, and white globally recognizable as a specific place and era.

South Beach at 10 PM in 1987. The Art Deco hotels are lit in pink and aqua against the night sky. A white Ferrari is parked on Ocean Drive. The whole scene is simultaneously glamorous and completely absurd.

Editorial direction

Collections should do more than group swatches. Each one should read like a usable design direction with a clear emotional lane and a real application surface.

This detail route is the missing layer between a generic palette gallery and a convincing design reference. It gives the set a specific point of view.
