Abwab

Abwab translates as ‘doors’ in Arabic and is an annually remodelled exhibition dedicated to commissioning work from across the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia with a purpose to promote design talent and stimulate information exchange, uniquely experienced at Dubai Design Week.

In its fifth edition, Abwab designers are challenged to recreate the local classrooms of their cultures, designers from India, the Eastern Provinces of Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon will engage audiences with representations of this year’s theme ‘ways of learning’. Audiences will have the opportunity to interact with each pavilion as a gathering space for people to experience the making of memory, and to explore the way information is shared and taught in the respective cultures, by design.

Carousel of Light by Preciosa Lighting

A canopy of 8000 glowing orbs brings back the childhood joys of the fairground with Preciosa’s latest immersive Carousel of Light. Mouth-blown spheres in opal, amber frosted, clear and pink frosted hues, and stretching eight metres in diameter are designed to respond to human interaction with a dazzling light show. Don’t miss this exhibition at Downtown Design.
