Dubai Design Week 2018: Downtown Design
Hosting the third edition of its Design Week programme, I had the great privilege of visiting Dubai to experience what the fair had to offer. Showcasing a beautiful curation of local and international design, the week hosted a range of talks, programmes and projects from the design, interiors, art and technology industries. A personal favourite from the week was a section called Downtown Dubai - providing a space for local and international designers to showcase their works.
