The region’s first and leading dedicated design fair, Design Days Dubai, returns for its third edition to deliver a diverse, exhibition-quality collection of compelling, highly- collectible modern and contemporary design pieces and installations, alongside a public programme with leading design personalities and industry experts, from 17 – 21 March 2014.
This year Design Days Dubai introduces an annual ‘Discover’ section. The first edition will be presented in cooperation with Institut français, and will be dedicated to giving four young and fresh design galleries from France an international platform to exhibit works (Ymer&Malta; Galerie Gosserez; NextLevel Galerie and Galerie S. Bensimon).
For the first time, Design Days Dubai has been extended by an extra day, and will now be open to the public on the weekend. The fair will host a stimulating public programme, presented by Dubai Culture & Arts Authority, which has been developed to inspire and help educate visitors about principles and innovations in design. The five-day programme will feature informative talks and workshops, as well as live performances and special design installations.
