Sneak Peek at Design Days Dubai 2014.

Design Days Dubai is Middle East’s first dedicated design fair, returning for its third edition with a diverse collection of compelling, highly collectible contemporary design pieces and installations. Don’t worry – you haven’t missed it – we are just way too excited, and wanted to give you the opportunity to snoop around this awesome event before it even happens between 17th – 21st March 2014.

Bringing forward-thinking design to the region, the installation works will complement the Design Days Dubai line-up of 33 galleries and 20 countries from all corners of the world, including Algeria, Pakistan, Jordan and Japan. In a short span of two years, Design Days Dubai has not only put the city on the map of vintage and rare designs – it has also changed the region’s perception of “design”.
