In the heart of Miami, on Brickell Avenue, a new benchmark of gastronomic interior design is born — Amazónico Miami, a three-level project that unites a restaurant, bar lounge, and rooftop in the spirit of “urban jungle.”
Originating from Madrid, the Amazónico concept is the creation of Paraguas Group (Sandro Silva and Marta Seco) and the architectural studio Dream International. After successes in London and Dubai, the team brought to Miami the atmosphere of 1970s Rio de Janeiro, where wild nature and urban decadence intertwined to the rhythm of bossa nova and freedom.
Concept and Atmosphere
The project is built around several key ideas: the richness of Latin culture, the spirit of 1970s Rio de Janeiro, and organic immersion into nature. According to its creators, Amazónico is “a journey through the Amazon forest infused with the soul of Latin America.”
Every detail here works toward one goal — sensation. Live jazz and Latin rhythms during the day, DJ sets and vibrant nightlife after dark, light reflected off bronze panels, and green walls that seem to grow from floor to ceiling. Light and sound do not merely complement the interior — they become part of it.
Materials and Textures
Furniture and finishes are based on a palette of natural materials: teak wood, rattan, polished stone, brass, velvet, and leather. The materials are chosen not only for appearance but also for tactile experience: wooden panels with living texture, aged mirrors, sound-absorbing velvet, and light-reflecting brass. The décor maintains a balance between shine and softness, texture and simplicity — an ideal solution for a space where guests can see, feel, and literally “enter” the atmosphere.
Furniture and Forms
The furniture design draws inspiration from the modernism of the 1960s–70s: soft silhouettes, rounded backs, slender legs, and deep seats. Upholstery in emerald, terracotta, and mustard tones complements the tropical palette of greenery and wood. The bar area is highlighted by tall stools with brass bases, while the lounge zone features low-seated, solid armchairs designed for relaxation. Every element feels individual yet harmoniously integrated — each line, color, and texture carefully considered.
Amazónico Miami is a vivid example of how design can become a tool of emotional immersion. For designers — it is a lesson in blending material richness with conceptual authenticity. For restaurateurs — a reminder that the interior is not just a backdrop but one of the main actors in the guest experience.
