Dubai Design Week

The exhibition, which runs at Downtown Design until Saturday, is an annual platform dedicated to supporting designers living in the United Arab Emirates. This year's exhibition is curated by Fatma Al Mahmoud, Head of Cultural Planning at the House of Wisdom and Managing Partner of Hamzat Wasl Studio.

The selection of participants in the exhibition was based on several criteria," explains Al Mahmoud. It was important that the works could be produced within a specific timeframe and that they took into account sustainability issues. Al Mahmoud worked closely with the designers as they developed their ideas.
