Arte Penthouse

Rita Chraini unveils a full-scale renovation of a 7,000 sq ft penthouse at Artes Surfside, Miami—a residence where refined French sophistication is seamlessly blended with the serenity of oceanfront living. At the heart of the design lies a dramatic onyx bar with bespoke backlighting, creating a luminous focal point that anchors the main living space. Overlooking it, a handcrafted crystal chandelier by Sans Souci Lighting cascades gracefully through the staircase, functioning as both sculpture and light installation. Rita curated a selection of exceptional furnishings from Fendi Casa, Minotti by DDC, and Roche Bobois, shaping an interior that feels timeless, polished, and meticulously tailored. A standout moment is the iconic Louis Vuitton Cocoon hanging chair from the Objets Nomades collection—an avant-garde piece that introduces both artistry and movement, perfectly framing the penthouse's sweeping views of the Atlantic. The result is a residence of rare harmony—architectural precision, luxurious materials, and curated design elements brought together to create a coastal sanctuary of unmistakable elegance.
