FN DESIGNS AND BLOOMINGDALE'S HOME-DUBAI TO EXHIBIT WORKS OF 10 REGIONAL DESIGNERS AT DESIGN DAYS DUBAI
Industry: Events       

FN Designs, in collaboration with WTD Magazine and supported by retail giant Bloomingdale's Home - Dubai

(TRAVPR.COM) UAE - February 18th, 2014 - FN Designs, in collaboration with WTD Magazine and supported by retail giant Bloomingdale's Home - Dubai, will showcase works of 10 regional designers at Design Days Dubai from March 17 to 21, 2014 reinterpreted from "10/100/1000" - a unique stool design concept conceived by designer Francisco Torres. Working with certified wood and natural finishes, each designer has created one masterpiece which was then used to produce 10 pieces of a kind only. The collection will be exhibited and sold exclusively at Bloomingdale's Home - Dubai for USD 1,000 each from March 17 to April 17, 2014.

H.H. Sheikha Wafa Hasher Al Maktoum, founder and director of FN Designs, commented, "We are proud to support this exhibition that brings to the fore unexpected and innovative forms that are bound to challenge the conventional landscape of furniture design. It is truly wonderful to see how these young designers have turned a simple, utilitarian stool  into functional sculpture with playful geometric shapes".

“As an international brand, we are honoured to support international art and local cultural activities that resonate with both our customers and visitors in the region. As the first major retailer to participate as an off-site exhibitor for Design Days Dubai, we look forward to giving our customers a unique and engaging shopping experience through this highly-anticipated exhibition,” said Dee Sarai, General Manager, Bloomingdale’s-Dubai.

Each piece is a work of art. Meitha Al Mazrooei, Editor, WTD Magazine, said, "Interiors are no longer decorated, they are curated. Contemporary furniture has become the new collectible with more people investing in signature pieces. Rather, blurring of the line between disciplines of art and design. '10/100/1000' is very contemporary and community led program that is a response to the current interest.”

Participating Designers
Bahar Al Bahar, Fatima Al Zaabi, Hatem Hatem & Nada Abu Shaqra, Khalda El Jack, Noora Al Awar, Raneem Alnrshe, Ranim Oruouk, Reyan Hanafi, Sarah Al Agroobi and Rasha Dakkak & Noor Jarrah and Sema Orouk
