'Gradient Mashrabiya Sideboard' by Mischer'Traxler and Lebanese artisan Roger Tohme, shown by Carwan Gallery at Design Days Dubai

迪拜是中东的中心地带，也是一个只有40年历史的国家，它正以开放的心态和欢迎的武器接近外部世界。它已经是国际明星的游乐场，现在也吸引着国际设计师和画廊。上周，它主办了迪拜设计展(Design Days迪拜)，这是第一次在中东举办的可收藏设计博览会。在该地区日益增长的热心收藏家面前，一批国际和地方画廊聚集在一起，炫耀自己的产品。

DDD的导演西里尔·扎米特的概念-在短短八个月的时间里，对展会进行了美化、组织、营销和执行，并在迪拜艺术展前几天策略性地启动了这场展览，当时许多当地收藏家已经开始寻找新作品。

来自世界各地的22家画廊聚集在世界最高建筑哈利法塔(BurjKhalifa)前面宽敞而有意义的帐篷里，那里被购物的麦加(迪拜购物中心)所拥抱。它汇集了来自伦敦的木匠工作室画廊，来自荷兰的Priveekollektie，来自米兰的尼卢法尔，以及20世纪的交易商，如巴黎的La Galerie Nationale和纽约的R20世纪画廊。

当地选手包括壁纸*设计奖得主Carwan画廊和来自贝鲁特的SMO画廊。在u线上也有一些新的名字，比如圣保罗的Coletivo Amor de Madre和首尔的_Croft，他们第一次在家乡以外展示工作。

一些最受欢迎的作品包括奥地利设计工作室Mischer‘Traxler的’梯度Mashrabiya餐具‘，为Carwan画廊设计。他们与黎巴嫩工匠罗杰·托姆合作，将“mashrabiya”-一种典型的中东建筑特色-融入格子木制品-翻译成一个由650多块手工雕刻的木片组成的餐具柜。

罗德里戈·阿尔梅达(Rodrigo Almeida)为Coletivo Amor de Madre设计的“牛津椅”(Coletivo Amor De Madre)(译为“母爱的集体”)给了我们一个关于巴西后坎帕纳设计的想法。与此同时，贝鲁特出生的纳伊拉·埃尔·泽因(Najla El Zein)为SMO画廊制作了一座名为“6302汤匙”(6302汤匙)

教育项目在DDD中也发挥了重要作用。韩国设计师李宽浩(Kwangho Lee)和阿姆斯特丹工作室漂移(Studio Drift)的现场设计表演，以及李爱德科特(Li Edelkoort)和拉比·赫格(Rabih Hage)举办的设计投资研讨会，旨在培养和鼓励下一代的设计收藏家。

为期四天的交易会和仅限女士参加的下午吸引了8500多名来自该地区各地的游客。一些画廊报告了强劲的销售额，另一些画廊则谈到了加强在中东地区的联系的重要性，但市场上的普遍感觉是对创意“新奇”的渴望，以及对设计行业未来的兴奋。

'6302 Spoons' by Najla El Zein, at the SMO Gallery stand

'Arab Spring Map' by Beirut-based Bokja Design. The antique carpet represents Arab’s traditional values. It is in a dilapidated state, like many of the discarded ideals, and is in need of resurrection. The mood is that of optimism and rejuvenation. The symbols are many, among them a woman riding a horse on the road to a new and unknown world.
