Far East meets Middle East at Dubai Design Week 2024

The 10th edition of Dubai Design Week unfolded from Nov. 5 to 10, centered around the Dubai Design District while also extending throughout the city. This year’s event reaffirmed the platform as the Middle East’s most significant design showcase and an increasingly important hub in the global design landscape.

And this year, Dubai Design Week did more than just showcase — it questioned, explored and celebrated the interplay of tradition and modernity, with Japanese design taking center stage.

Among the myriad installations and exhibitions, one project stood out as a microcosm of the week’s themes, encapsulating the profound dialogues at play: “The Warp.”
