Designing Through Disruption
identity hosted a panel in collaboration with Glaze Granite & Marble
Last week, identity put together a panel at the GLAZE Granite & Marble showroom on Sheikh Zayed Road to discuss the impact of the US-Iran conflict on the architecture and interior design sector in the region, especially in terms of supply chain disruptions, rising costs of materials, client confidence, and how the design community can truly help each other. The panel comprised of Charul Punia, Assistant Sales Manager at GLAZE; Masoomeh Hilal, Founder of Masoomeh Hilal Design; Aleksandra Mojse of Moy Design Studio; Stuart Allen, Founder and CEO of Allen Architecture Interior Design (AAID); and Amber Alston, Senior Associate at Bluehaus.
