Discover Luxury Interior Design Project in Miami - Penthouse at Arte Surfside Miami, Florida, United States

French Contemporary Elegance by Rita Chraibi

Rita Chraibi unveils a complete, full-scale luxury interior renovation of a 7,000-square-foot Atlantic oceanfront penthouse at Arte Surfside in Miami. Conceived as a refined expression of contemporary French design, infused with the quiet sophistication of coastal living, the project sets a new benchmark for interior renovation in the city. Shaped through close collaboration with master artisans and guided by meticulous attention to detail, the penthouse unfolds as a private, art-driven residence—where craftsmanship, natural light, and spatial clarity subtly reflect the owners’ way of living.

Sculptural, Light-Driven Living Spaces

At the heart of the penthouse, a dramatic backlit onyx bar anchors the main living area, glowing as a luminous focal point by day and night. Suspended above, a handcrafted crystal chandelier by Sans Souci Lighting cascades through the stair void—part sculpture, part light installation—adding movement, scale, and visual drama to the residence.

Curated Luxury Furnishings

The interiors are meticulously curated by Rita Chraibi, featuring iconic brands such as Fendi Casa, Minotti (by DDC), and Roche Bobois. Each selection is guided by Rita Chraibi’s vision, ensuring every piece contributes to a cohesive architectural narrative. The furnishings are conceived as part of a larger, art-driven composition that reinforces a timeless, tailored design language, reflecting Chraibi’s signature approach to elevated living.

Iconic Design Moments

A defining highlight curated by renowned, award-winning luxury interior designer Rita Chraibi is the Louis Vuitton Cocoon hanging chair from the Louis Vuitton Objets Nomades collection, designed by Fernando and Humberto Campana. This avant-garde statement piece introduces artistry and suspended tranquility, perfectly framing panoramic ocean views and infusing the space with motion and poetry.

A Serene Coastal Sanctuary

This luxury interior design project in Miami is conceived as a carefully curated residence, guided by clarity, proportion, and an art-driven sensibility. Beyond aesthetics, the penthouse reflects an individualized way of living in which craftsmanship meets luxury. From bespoke stonework and sculptural lighting to curated furnishings and panoramic Atlantic vistas, every element contributes to a residence that embodies modern coastal luxury at its highest expression. The result is rare harmony—where French sophistication meets oceanfront serenity.
