As 2024 draws to a close, we at identity share our appreciation for the design stories that we have been able to showcase, the individuals we have been able to support and the newness and discovery we have been able to bring to the forefront through storytelling and the connections we have fostered.
We are grateful for the support given to us by all our readers, advertisers, and community of architects, interior designers, and product designers and we continue to be an advocate for the region as a global design destination – something we will be building on in 2025.
Our 10th annual identity Design Awards took place on 15th November was a great reminder of the incredible talent existing in the region, you can see the evening on page 52 as well as our winners’ party hosted by Casamia.
Our cover story shines a light on LW Design Group’s incredible 25-year-old journey. We interview Jesper Godsk, Founding Partner and CEO and trace the firm’s timeline from a small garage in Jumeirah to a design powerhouse with presence across four cities around the globe. A riveting story to tell that touches upon how the founding partners view legacy and how a good design philosophy can transcend time.
As the season festive season is upon us, I hope you find moments to relax, and recharge ready for a fulfilling year ahead. See you in 2025!
