Luara Máximo has always looked at the world through a different lens. Different than most people, to be sure, but more importantly, through a lens of differentiation as a point of celebration and impact. As a first-generation Brazilian-American, the intersection of culture and hybridization of concepts is in her very DNA. Forever Fiore is the embodiment of her soul — an ethos unto itself, equal parts an expression of artistic passion and a crossroads of human connection. Long-inspired by the natural beauty and elegance of flowers in nature, the Tea Lounge-meets-Floral Boutique has brought to Naples a truly remarkable business concept: embracing the value of traditional restaurants with contemporary finesse, as a place to restore the mind, body, and spirit, while simultaneously challenging the very nature of luxury and transforming it from exclusive caché to everyday celebration. Forever Fiore’s mission has always been to deliver elevated experiences in all aspects of life, to be a facilitator of fulfillment and to curate moments which extend through and into lifelong memories. She regularly hosts business networking events for locally-owned businesses of all industries, and has established the Tea Lounge as a focal point for the next generation of business development in downtown Naples.
