Design Days Dubai: Design for the now

Items on display by Based Upon at Design Days Dubai 2013.

The latest edition of Design Days Dubai will open at The Venue, Downtown Dubai, on Monday, and promises to be even more dizzying and diverse than usual, boasting the largest-ever number of exhibitors and the most cosmopolitan array of work in its three-year history.

As always, the weird and the wonderful will be on show. Not only will visitors get the opportunity to have their portrait drawn by sketching robots and to watch installations respond to fluctuations in heat, light and humidity, they will also be able to see and experience works from the wilder shores of design.

“We have a very fresh line-up this year,” explains Cyril Zammit, the fair’s director. “Eight new countries [are] being represented, including countries like Pakistan and Jordan … I’m also very excited to have 10 designers coming from Algeria for the first time ever.”

Design Days has always been known for its openness to work from new and emerging design cultures, but this year, the fair’s commitment to contemporary work has really come to the fore.
