Last week Design Days Dubai (DDD) announced its list of galleries for the fourth edition set to take place in March. With 44 galleries, showing a variety of stunning design objects such as this wonderful acrylic table designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid for David Gill Galleries, the fair will offer design enthusiasts the chance to view and to purchase many unique objects.
One thing that DDD prides itself on is their support of the Middle Eastern design industry. This year, 16 design studios, galleries, and design professionals based in the UAE and the wider GCC will be participating. That includes 1971 (Sharjah), 19th Century Antiques (Dubai), and Aljoud Lootah Design Studio (Dubai) - all first timers to the fair.
Other highlights are the 10th anniversary celebration of Lebanese designer Nada Debs and the presence of local galleries such as Authentique Art Gallery (Dubai), Cities (Dubai & Riyadh), Naqsh Design House (Amman) and Nakkash Gallery (Dubai).
“As the event grows year on year, Design Days Dubai continues to cultivate recognition and awareness for design in the region, serving to establish Dubai as a global cultural hub,” says Cyril Zammit, the fair’s director and founder. “The upcoming 2015 edition will exhibit the world’s most diverse collection of exhibitors and designers from 20 countries, and ground-breaking works for the audience to further enhance their experience around the subject of design. The fair offers design enthusiasts the opportunity to not only meet international designers, but also acquire collectible design and enhance collections for private and corporate use.”
* Design Days Dubai will take place from March 16-20 at The Venue, Downtown Dubai
