In this edition, ‘The Influential Issue’, we embark on a captivating exploration of the dynamic relationship between interior design and art. As we delve into the interplay between these two creative realms, we uncover a fascinating symbiosis that shapes our living spaces, influences our perceptions, and enriches our daily lives.

Influence extends beyond the confines of the design studio; it permeates every facet of our lives; from the art we admire to the spaces we inhabit. In this issue, we explore the symbiotic relationship between art and interior design, examining how artistic expression informs and enriches the spaces we live, work, and play in. From curated art collections that serve as focal points in contemporary interiors to immersive installations that blur the boundaries between art and design, we celebrate the transformative power of creativity in shaping our world.

Our cover story of the month, shines a spotlight on Dubai-based designer, KAMEH’s latest collection – KAMEH 0.3, which explores childhood creativity and imagination. The feature perfectly captures the essence of the issue – looking at creativity through the lens of child-like innocence, bereft of bias, conventions and limitations. 

As you immerse yourself in this issue, we hope that the stories and insights shared within these pages inspire you to explore the boundless possibilities of creativity, embrace the transformative power of design, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for the artistry that surrounds us in our everyday lives.
