INDEX 2018 is full of surprises
Top design professionals from across the region are attending this grand exhibition
INDEX, the Middle East’s largest interiors exhibition – is set to host a compact edition of its design showcase 16-18 September, where its theme, ‘Where East meets West: Silk Road’,’ will bring value-driven products and premium brands together in Dubai. Due to welcome 400 furniture and décor design and supply companies from across the continents–all specialising in fit-out and interior products for commercial, hospitality, retail and residential design projects– the show will come alive with the colours, patterns and textures that encapsulated The Silk Road when it was its most densely trodden.
