Double trouble

Designed by the critically acclaimed French designer Vincent Dubourg, the black steel Double Buffet Nouvelle Zelande has been cut and twisted to look as if it is in a state of decay. The piece, which will be showcased at Design Days Dubai by Carpenters Workshop Gallery, is also the winner of the prestigious 2011 Moët Hennessy Pavilion of Art and Design New York Prize.

Fusion design

Dominic Harris is an interactive artist whose latest creation, Phable, blurs the distinctions between table and light. Commissioned by Priveekollektie in The Netherlands, Phable will make its debut at Design Days Dubai and is tipped to be a show-stopper.

Seoul food

Design Days Dubai is the Seoul-based gallery Croft's first international design fair. As part of its offering, the gallery will showcase the 0121 Chair by the acclaimed Korean designer Lee Jae-Hyo. Finely crafted out of pine and chestnut, the chair is characterised by its incredible tactility.

Presenze of mind

Designed exclusively for Italy's Nilufar Gallery, the Presenze collection was created by Piergiorgio Robino and Alice Carlotta Occleppo of the Torino-based Nucleo design studio. Made up of five-centimetre-by-five-centimetre cubes cast in epoxy resin, the collection gives traditional, 19th-century baroque forms a new, minimalist twist.

Cedar heights

All work exhibited by Galerie BSL at Design Days Dubai has been exclusively commissioned by the gallery owner Beatrice Saint-Laurent and consists of limited-edition pieces that explore the shifting borders between contemporary art, design and architecture. We particularly love the Cedar folding screen by the French-Lebanese designer Charles Kalpakian.

Stitched up

The Brussels-based design dealer, collector and adviser Victor Hunt is well known for investing in emerging designers' graduation, prototype and limited-edition works. Among these is Stitching Concrete, a new project by the young German designer Florian Schmid, which involves the time-intensive process of folding fabric that has been impregnated with cement and then drenched in water.

Important questions to consider

1. Where on the plane does my pet travel?

There are different types of travel available for pets:

  • Manifest cargo
  • Excess luggage in the hold
  • Excess luggage in the cabin

Each option is safe. The feasibility of each option is based on the size and breed of your pet, the airline they are traveling on and country they are travelling to.

 

2. What is the difference between my pet traveling as manifest cargo or as excess luggage?

If traveling as manifest cargo, your pet is traveling in the front hold of the plane and can travel with or without you being on the same plane. The cost of your pets travel is based on volumetric weight, in other words, the size of their travel crate.

If traveling as excess luggage, your pet will be in the rear hold of the plane and must be traveling under the ticket of a human passenger. The cost of your pets travel is based on the actual (combined) weight of your pet in their crate.

 

3. What happens when my pet arrives in the country they are traveling to?

As soon as the flight arrives, your pet will be taken from the plane straight to the airport terminal.

If your pet is traveling as excess luggage, they will taken to the oversized luggage area in the arrival hall. Once you clear passport control, you will be able to collect them at the same time as your normal luggage. As you exit the airport via the ‘something to declare’ customs channel you will be asked to present your pets travel paperwork to the customs official and / or the vet on duty. 

If your pet is traveling as manifest cargo, they will be taken to the Animal Reception Centre. There, their documentation will be reviewed by the staff of the ARC to ensure all is in order. At the same time, relevant customs formalities will be completed by staff based at the arriving airport. 

 

4. How long does the travel paperwork and other travel preparations take?

This depends entirely on the location that your pet is traveling to. Your pet relocation compnay will provide you with an accurate timeline of how long the relevant preparations will take and at what point in the process the various steps must be taken.

In some cases they can get your pet ‘travel ready’ in a few days. In others it can be up to six months or more.

 

5. What vaccinations does my pet need to travel?

Regardless of where your pet is traveling, they will need certain vaccinations. The exact vaccinations they need are entirely dependent on the location they are traveling to. The one vaccination that is mandatory for every country your pet may travel to is a rabies vaccination.

Other vaccinations may also be necessary. These will be advised to you as relevant. In every situation, it is essential to keep your vaccinations current and to not miss a due date, even by one day. To do so could severely hinder your pets travel plans.
