Haute Living’s Haute 100 list was well represented at Artefacto’s 4th Annual Design House, in which 10 of Miami’s most important ladies designed vignettes along acclaimed interior designers at Artefacto’s 20,000 square foot showroom in Coral Gables. For example, Sara Colombo worked with Fabio Morozini while Ana Cristina Defortuna worked with Christina Hamoui assisted by Avant Design Group. Artefacto owner Paulo Bacchi donated $50,000 amongst the ladies’ preferred charitable causes. Christy Martin’s charity of choice was the American Cancer Society while Mariana Grosskopf chose Hand in Hand, Center for Jewish-Arab Education in Israel.
