Seminars & Events

While Miromar Design Center’s primary focus is the sale of home furnishing products, it is also deeply committed to fostering an environment of continuing education for design professionals and consumers. Every month there are a variety of exciting and stimulating presentations. From fashion shows to culinary delights and guest speakers, there is always a new dimension to be discovered at Miromar Design Center. Many of these events are sponsored in conjunction with nationally recognized design industry magazines and other organizations with proceeds benefiting designated charities.

Designer Showcases at Miromar Outlets
Selected design professionals throughout Southwest Florida have created vignettes in storefronts at Miromar Outlets using furnishings from Miromar Design Center. Located across from Neiman Marcus, on the south side of the mall, each vignette presents a different room, exhibiting unique interior home designs and applications of the most current materials and techniques. The vignettes and designers will change from time to time as will the worldwide collection of furniture, fabrics, flooring, lighting, kitchen and bath products, art, accessories and more, all found in the showrooms of Miromar Design Center.

Sample Sale
The annual Sample Sale provides a rare opportunity for those who desire to possess the very best in home furnishings and accessories to purchase items at savings up to 70% off original retail prices. The first day of the Sample Sale is dedicated to the trade only; the public is invited on the second and third days.

Fashion Obsession
A high fashion runway show and luncheon presents one-of-a-kind fashions and accessories created from fabrics, trims, tiles, stone and wood found in the showrooms of the Miromar Design Center and stitched by a professional couturier. Ensembles are auctioned during the event and proceeds benefit the American Heart Associations’ “Go Red for Women” campaign.

Saturday Seminars
A weekly seminar series (holiday weekends excluded) brings design professionals and artisans to the Miromar Design Center to discuss and demonstrate trends, techniques, technology and materials in a wide range of home décor subjects. The seminars are free and open to the public.
