In Design With – Sheikha Lateefa bint Maktoum and Kristina Zanic
Sheikha Lateefa bint Maktoum and Kristina Zanic join us on our next podcast at Dubai's new hospitality meets design destination - Gerbou
For our second episode of ‘In Design With’, we take a break from our podcast studio and are at Gerbou – a space that lives and breathes Emirati hospitality, which is a product of a beautiful design collaboration. Set within a villa from the 1980s and right next to the Dubai-based incubator for art and design Tashkeel, Gerbou means ‘welcome to my humble abode’ in Emirati Arabic. The restaurant stands apart not only for its design but for showcasing the power of collaboration, with various bespoke design pieces crafted in partnership with the Tashkeel design community and other local designers.
Joining us on the show are Sheikha Lateefa Bint Maktoum, founder of Tashkeel Studio and Gerbou, and Kristina Zanic, the founder of Kristina Zanic Consultants, the interior design consultants on this stunning project. Don’t miss the incredible story behind the ghaf tree log at the entrance, the lamps made of fish waste, the incredible collaboration and curation process, and the story behind the ‘Dubai pattern’.
