Dania Beach, FL – June 24, 2021 – On Thursday, June 24th, in celebration of the beginning of summer, DCOTA and Luxe Magazine hosted an insightful conversation with interior designer Deborah Wecselman of Wecselman Design and luxury real estate broker Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman. The discussion was led by Jennifer Pfaff Smith, Florida Homes Editor for Luxe Magazine. The panelists explored the intersection of design and real estate and Miami’s current booming market. Guests gathered underneath artist Mark Fox’s “The Corral,” 2015, a site-specific installation in Atrium C. Touching on the topics of collaboration and the future of both fields, the chat encouraged an exchange of ideas and what direction they’re going next.
