THEN AND NOW… ALWAYS
What matters most has never been new. It asks only that we stop long enough to notice.
An intimate collective of artists and designers.
ROQUE returns for its second edition during Miami Art Week, presenting a considered selection of original and limited-edition artwork, furniture, lighting, and objects.
Four distinct creative perspectives explore the relationships between material, form, process, and function—and the often-unseen time and labor behind each work.
November 30 – December 6, 2026

Vivian Carbonell
Vivian Carbonell
Vivian Carbonell is a first-generation CubanAmerican artist and designer based in Miami, Florida.
Her work merges fine art and design practices through handcrafted, limited-edition collections of lighting, furniture, and sculptural objects. Each piece is driven by an intuitive exploration of form and a lifelong curiosity about the origins and inherent character of materials.
At the core of Carbonell’s approach is a deep respect for the “life history” that materials carry—their variations in texture, weight, tone, and color—each offering a unique language that guides the design process. The studio’s work strikes a refined balance between raw and polished, where opposites coalesce into compositions of warmth, balance, and quiet elegance. Through this ongoing dialogue between material and maker, Carbonell creates contemporary pieces that resonate with presence, restraint, and timeless expression.
Her work has been featured at design and art fairs including Design Miami/, Scope, and Place Projects, and most recently in exhibitions with Onna House in East Hampton and Palm Beach, Florida. Her bespoke designs are sought after for elevated residential and hospitality projects by leading names in architecture and interior design.

In searching to display an embracing of the inherent characteristics of clay, the work often communicates a fluidity and sensorium of form, as the shaping handleaves behind lines and marks in the surface.
Glaze becomes the outer surface material, another opportunity to capture interaction, and chemical reaction, through firing.
As my inspiration lies in that space between art and design, I often start with the fantasy of a vessel that has a certain and specific purpose. This will dictate the shape, thereby determining how the surface influences the glaze, in an almost painterly way.

Time, material, and the hand of the maker.
Following its debut during Miami Art Week 2025, ROQUE Art + Design returns with an intimate collective of artists and designers.
Each work reflects a distinct creative perspective—shaped by material, process, and the hand of its maker. Together, the collection considers the passage of time, the histories materials carry, and the human presence embedded in the act of making.
