As thousands flock to the city to celebrate Dubai Design Week (12-17 November 2018), those with an affinity for French design will be in for a special treat. This year, the Institut Français in the United Arab Emirates will take part in Dubai Design Week with an exhibition focused on contemporary French design: Le French Design – How Innovation Creates History. Curated by Maud Louvrier-Clerc, it will redefine and showcase how the French design scene weaves ties between the worlds of art, design and industry and will share the creativity of French designers and the savoir-faire of French manufacturers.
 
The showcase will demonstrate the creativity French design through shining a spotlight on fifteen designers from the collective ‘Collectif Made in France en Transparence’. The exhibition, developed specifically for Dubai Design Week, has been organized with the support of VIA (Valorisation de l’Innovation dans l’Ameublement), invites visitors to discover how innovation creates our history through decorative arts and contemporary design.
