Designer Rafael de Cardenas, who was honored yesterday as Maison & Objet Americas fair Designer of the Year, created a pop-up lounge in an empty storefront in the Design District with Creative Director Alexandra Cunningham Cameron that sets the mood of an exotic, futuristic, pixelated jungle while serving complimentary happy hours and gourmet popsicles every night of the fair ending Friday.

“Escape into the prismatic oasis: lounge on a pixelated landscape of RDC/AAL modular furniture or dance in the dappled shadow of neon lights and jungle foliage.” says the press release, with each night bringing in a cool young Miami person or people (Think Jacuzzi Boys, Nektar De Stagni, or Emmett Moore) as host, to entertain you for the evening. Or just recover your sobriety in the soothingly low lighting before ringing up an Uber home.
