The Kitchen Muse at Wynwood Walls
An Immersive Design Installation Blending Art and Innovation
In partnership with ELLE DECOR and Wynwood Walls, Miele blended the worlds of art, design, and kitchen innovation through a first-of-its-kind interactive experience, The Kitchen Muse - a bold pop-up that reimagined the modern kitchen as an artistic, interactive installation set against the vibrant backdrop of Wynwood Walls during Miami Art Week.
Open to the public in early December 2025, the sculptural kitchen layout highlighted the deeply studied approach and expressive design of ELLE DECOR A-List architect and interior designer Luis Fernandez, and showcased Miele’s leading appliances across coffee, refrigeration, and induction cooking as the muse. The centerpiece of the kitchen was a custom art piece by internationally recognized artist Mikael B., who utilized a Miele 36” MasterCool refrigerator as both the inspiration and the canvas, symbolizing the idea that beauty, creativity, and innovation can be found in everyday life.
The Kitchen Muse pop-up was positioned at the heart of the Wynwood Walls Museum — the largest outdoor street art museum in the world and an international destination for art lovers. The activation built on Miele’s brand expansion in the North American market, particularly in the kitchen category.
“For me, Miele represents precision and innovation with an effortless beauty and presence. That perfectly harmonious mix is what I wanted to capture.” — Luis Fernandez
Rooted in Mikael B.’s abstract art style, the art installation unfolded through layers of acrylic and spray paint applied intuitively, building unexpected depth, motion, and texture. “The refrigerator becomes a fully customized centerpiece where precision engineering meets expressive abstraction,” Mikael said. “A palette of greens, deep blues, warm neutrals, earth tones, and touches of gold create harmony and sophistication while ensuring the piece stands out as a bold, showstopping focal point.”
The Kitchen Muse was featured on ELLEDecor.com and in the March 2026 issue of ELLE DECOR magazine.
