HAUTE LIVING: Can you tell us about the inspiration behind expanding Armina into the luxury interiors space with Armina Luxe in Miami’s Design District?

EMRE BASMAN: Armina Luxe was created from our desire to offer a complete, elevated design experience that goes beyond stone surfaces. For years, Armina Stone has been known for sourcing the world’s most exquisite materials and the natural next step was to create a destination where those materials could be transformed into fully bespoke kitchens, baths, and closets. The Miami Design District was the perfect community to showcase our vision of luxury living.

HL: How does Armina Luxe differentiate itself from other luxury design showrooms in South Florida?
EB: Armina Luxe is more than a showroom; it’s a one-stop design destination. We offer clients a highly personalized design experience that combines Italian-crafted cabinetry, exclusive natural stone, and custom millwork in one curated space. Unlike traditional showrooms, we provide end-to-end design services, from concept and digital rendering to material selection and final installation, all with the craftsmanship and attention to detail that our discerning clientele expect.

HL: Could you describe the experience clients can expect when visiting the new Armina Luxe showroom?
EB: Walking into Armina Luxe feels like stepping into a luxury residence where every element has been thoughtfully designed. Guests are welcomed as if they are visiting our home who are offered an espresso or glass of prosecco before exploring immersive kitchen, bath, and closet vignettes. Each space is designed to spark inspiration with a nod to Miami’s iconic architectural style, while our design consultants guide clients through tailored solutions that reflect their lifestyle.

HL: What role does Italian craftsmanship play in the bespoke design solutions offered at Armina Luxe?
EB: Italian craftsmanship is at the heart of Armina Luxe. Every cabinet, door, and detail is produced by master artisans in Italy, blending centuries-old traditions with modern innovation. This ensures not only exceptional quality but also a refined aesthetic, whether it’s a sleek contemporary kitchen or a timeless, classic bath.

HL: With Armina Stone already established in Miami, how does Armina Luxe complement and enhance the overall client experience?
EB: Armina Stone has become Miami’s go-to source for premium stone, porcelain, and quartz surfaces. Armina Luxe builds on that reputation by integrating these materials into fully customized interiors. Clients now have a one-stop destination where they can choose their surfaces, cabinetry, and finishes and work with one team to bring it all together seamlessly.

HL: How has your partnership with the Miami HEAT played a role in shaping the brand’s presence and growth in South Florida?
EB: Our partnership with the Miami HEAT has strengthened our presence in South Florida’s luxury market, aligning us with an organization known for excellence and community connection. This collaboration has given us the opportunity to connect with an audience that values excellence, performance, and style which aligns perfectly with Armina. The visibility from this partnership has helped solidify our brand as a leader in high-end design.

HL: What are some of the unique features or design elements of the new Armina Luxe showroom that reflect Miami’s architectural essence?
EB: The showroom reflects Miami’s blend of modern minimalism and Art Deco glamour. We’ve incorporated clean lines, bold color, and geometric elements along with vibrant textures and natural stone surfaces reminiscent of the city’s coastal beauty. The result is a space that feels both timeless and distinctly Miami.

HL: Can you elaborate on the design consultation process at Armina Luxe, including how digital renderings are used to bring clients’ visions to life?
EB: Every project at Armina Luxe begins with a personal consultation to understand the client’s vision, lifestyle, and functional needs. From there, our design team creates detailed digital renderings, allowing clients to visualize the space before a single material is cut. This ensures complete alignment on aesthetics and functionality and often sparks new ideas that elevate the final design.

HL: How does Armina Luxe cater to both residential and commercial projects seeking high-end interiors in South Florida?
EB: Whether it’s a penthouse kitchen or a stadium renovation, we approach every project with the same commitment to quality and personalization. Our team combines bespoke millwork with rare, globally sourced stone we hand-select directly from trusted quarries and artisans around the world. This combination allows us to create interiors where cabinetry and surfaces work together to deliver visually compelling spaces.

HL: Looking ahead, what are your goals and aspirations for Armina Luxe as it becomes an integral part of the Miami Design District?
EB: Our goal is to become the go-to design partner for South Florida’s most discerning homeowners, designers, architects and builders. We envision Armina Luxe as a hub for creativity and collaboration, hosting design events, industry panels, and exclusive product unveilings. Ultimately, we want to redefine what a luxury showroom can be–an inspiring destination where exceptional design begins. https://www.arminaluxe.com/ 115 NE 36th Street, Miami FL 33137
