ITALIAN LUXURY LOCAL AVANT-GARDE

Posted by: Gisella Borioli

It takes place with exuberance Downtown Design Dubai, the design show that since 2013 has been bringing every year a mix of excellent products from both the Middle East area and Italy and other countries such as France or England.

   We participated as guests in the first edition and return each year as visitors witnessing the evolution and growth of interest in original, well-made, luxury proposals or interpreters of the new mood that finds its inspiration in respect for nature.In the tent set up in D3, the Design District where the studios of international architects are located, conspicuous is the Italian presence that, in homage to local taste, enhances Venetian craftsmanship, glass, mosaic, and the charm of gold in many declinations.  
The most intriguing proposals, on the other hand, take us with small group shows to the heart of Milan's Isola, to the vision of contemporaneity of Emirati designers, to the selection of unexpected products, all far from classicism and opulence.  
Here are some flashes that tell the story of the most important Design Fair in the Emirates and in this part of the world with its usual elegance.
