‘Lights Out’ episode two: Crafting the future

What does heritage mean to you?

In the latest episode of Lights Out, presented in collaboration with Casa Mia and Ghidini1961, identity delved into the concept of balancing heritage and contemporary design with a diverse panel of experts.

We spoke with Giuseppe, Sejal Patel, Design Director at Kristina Zanic Consultants, Reem Al Qamzi, Founder of Rqitects, and Lamya Elshohdy, Senior Interior Designer at Swiss Bureau Interior Design (SBID)  on exploring craftsmanship in design, recent projects, collectible versus custom design, and how sometimes resorting to industry-old methods can help inspire future generations.

Held at the Halm Collective, an industry networking event and tour of the Ghidini1961 collection along with rugs and products by the Fatma Bint Mubarak Initiative (FBMI) followed the panel.
