Tashkeel designers unveil new UAE-made design additions to the Tanween collection at Dubai Design Week 2022

Dubai, UAE – 2 November 2022| -- The six designers selected for the 9th edition of Tashkeel’s Tanween design programme, under the theme of sustainability, will unveil their commercially available, limited edition design pieces at Downtown Design during Dubai Design Week, taking place 9-13 November.

With each piece conceived, designed and produced in the UAE, the mission of the Tanween design programme is to nurture the ongoing evolution of UAE design by providing a year of fully funded training for a cohort of rigorously-selected professional designers. The results will join other ground-breaking UAE-made, designed and inspired furniture and lighting pieces in The Tanween Collection by Tashkeel.

The outcomes of the 2022 Tanween design programme and the latest additions to The Tanween Collection are:

- Tibrah by Emirati architect Reema Al Mheiri – a floor lamp design inspired by Emirati poetry about a fleet of dhows sailing back to port. Composed of three harmonious lighting elements made of treated fish scales from Ajman Fish Market.

- Anamil (Fingertips) by Saudi Arabian designer Huda Al-Aithan – a suspended pendant light that celebrates the regional craft of ‘Safeefah’ (palm frond weaving). An unorthodox design produced in collaboration with Emirati craftswomen.

- Kaseeriya كسيرية(Fractal) by South African designer Ebrahim
