November 2025, Miami, FL – During Miami Art Week 2025, French-American artist and designer Joyce Billet presents two complementary exhibitions in Miami, offering an intimate look at her process alongside immersive, inhabitable works. At Design Miami, from the December 2 preview through public days December 3-7, Billet’s Special Project presented by Villa Albertine with plants courtesy of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, brings together two series of sculptural benches, Rising and Rooted, along with Woven, a living wall sculpture. Together, these works explore the fluid boundary between art, design, and environment. The benches invite visitors to pause and inhabit a space where materiality, technology, and nature converge. Functional and tactile, they suggest both rootedness and elevation. Woven, produced with curatorial support from Sophia Ballesteros, integrates orchids with sculpted plywood, crystallizing Billet’s core exploration of how humanity can coexist with nature while embracing technology. From hand-painted studies to computed, digital works, Billet’s process echoes the Design Miami 2025 theme, Make. Believe., which celebrates how imagination becomes tangible innovation. 

​

In the Miami Design District from November 30 to December 7, visitors are invited into the studio of Joyce Billet for an immersive presentation that unveils the creative process behind her monumental works. Featuring large-scale paintings alongside a dynamic studio environment, the installation offers a rare glimpse into the evolution of Billet’s practice, from initial sketches and material studies to digital models and fully realized pieces. 

​

Highlights include Billet’s permanent mural commissioned for Dior’s New York flagship and sculptural benches and canopies designed for a major public art initiative. This presentation underscores her distinctive fusion of expressive painting, architectural sensibility, and advanced fabrication techniques, illuminating how contemporary artists translate intimate gestures into impactful works that shape both public and private spaces.

​

Guests are encouraged to engage with the layered dialogue between handcraft and technology, gaining insight into the transformation of studio experimentation into large-scale installations.​
