As autumn light spills gently into her South Beach penthouse, designer Grace Faena welcomes slower mornings and quiet moments of indulgence. Centered first around her family, she gracefully balances her roles as chairperson and founder of the Young Collectors Group, an active presence in Miami’s art community, and the visionary behind her brand. Still, she always finds time to savor the season, as the golden glow of fall softens Miami’s usual vibrancy, infusing her days with a sense of refined ease and intimate calm.
Grace Faena welcomes us into her beachfront penthouse in South Beach, just steps from the glittering Faena Hotel.
Bathed in the gentle glow of morning, Grace savors pastries arranged on the Vertigo pastry tray, their delicate layers mirrored by the soft gleam of silver.
Beside her, rich espresso steams from Malmaison Impériale cups with petit Babylone dessert plates; ornate and timeless, echoing the season’s mood of warmth and reflection
It’s a serene ritual she cherishes: sunlight dancing across polished surfaces, the scent of coffee mingling with the ocean breeze,beautiful roses in a La Collection Vintage Vase and the reassuring weight of silver that elevates even the simplest morning into something quietly extraordinary.
