Miami, FL – January 27, 2016 – As Parisian silversmith company Christofle celebrates 180 years of unrelenting style, luxury, and quality in all things silver, they usher in a new era of design concept throughout their network of stores.  Taking inspiration from the worker bee, forever stamped into their heritage and insignia, the newly designed Bal Harbour store mimics that of the hive, with clean lines, sophistication, and a modern twist that will carry this historical company into the future with the next generation of silver connoisseurs.  Keeping within the theme of classics vs. modern, who better to help them with the unveiling of this new design concept than world renown and one of Christofle’s own artist – Michele Oka Doner.  This Miami native hosted a gathering of design, art, and silver enthusiasts at the Bal Harbour Shops location all in support of Miami City Ballet; a classic yet modern leader in its own right.
