For this issue, Miami Living takes a closer look at Casamonte’s special collaboration with world-class designers in the creation of custom-made, world-class wallcovering. The Fort Lauderdale–based studio has built its reputation on crafting walls that function as works of art—surfaces that move, flow, and transform space. To explore Casamonte’s latest collection, Miami Living spoke with Christian Claramonte, Casamonte’s VP of Creative Operations, about the vision, process, and material storytelling behind these collaborations. Miami Living: Casamonte collaborated with four designers from distinct design disciplines for these collections. What vision guided your decision to bring these particular designers together under one cohesive narrative? Christian Claramonte: The vision was never about assembling names; it was about curating perspectives—each with a story to tell. We intentionally brought together these designers from distinct design disciplines because each approaches surface, space, and narrative from a fundamentally different point of view. Every designer arrives with a unique creative language, shaped by their own process, references, and way of seeing the world. The guiding framework was rooted in contrast and convergence: how diverse disciplines can respond to the same medium and elevate it in entirely different ways. Individually, each collection tells its own story; together, they form a larger, cohesive dialogue about how texture operates as both structure and emotion. At Casamonte, we see walls as more than surfaces—they are canvases. These collaborations allowed us to explore that belief at its fullest scale, giving each designer the space to express their narrative while contributing to a unified architectural vision.
