The season starts at d3!

Fall begins with pop-ups, exhibitions and culinary events at Dubai’s creative hub.

As summer comes to a close, we’re headed to the Dubai Design District (d3) for an autumn design awakening.

Firstly, we plan on viewing Molecule’s Autumn Art Wall exhibition, their collaboration with Gallery Ward.

Nagami x AR Gallery

Our next stop: the Nagami exhibition at AR Gallery. This Middle Eastern debut of Nagami’s work, which explores the future of object design through the lens of pioneering production technologies. Collaborating with design superstars such as Zaha Hadid Architects, Ross Lovegrove, Manuel Jiménez García and Daniel Widrig the Spanish design brand pushes the limits of imagination and possibilities in their quest to create groundbreaking objects and manifest exceptional environments.

Fashion-lovers are also in for a treat with the Summer Mood Pop up by Asya Krasnaya – just in time to help transition into your autumn work wardrobe. It features with stylish from unique designers and discounted Fall/Winter 19 collections of clothing and home accessories. But get there soon—it ends 15 September!
