Abwab creative director Rawan Kashkoush describes how pavilions showcased the "differences and nuances" of design from the United Arab Emirates and surrounding countries, in this movie produced by Dezeen for Dubai Design Week.
Abwab consisted of a series of six pavilions showcasing work by designers from Jordan, Kuwait, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates.
"Designers have come together with the craftspeople in their local neighbourhoods and the collaborations have produced some beautiful designs," explains Kashkoush in the movie, which was filmed at Dubai Design Week.
Abwab means "doors" in Arabic. Kashkoush says the idea was to create a platform to highlight the diversity of design talent in the region.
"It's not just access into the cultures that come from each of these countries," she explains.
