‘ CONTEXT REFLECTIONS ’ BY ANARCHITECT AND COSENTINO
Taking centre stage inside the D3 , this installation shows the possibilities of Cosentino ’ s first ever carbon-neutral surface ,‘ Sunlit Days ’. Using the warm Dubai glow as a third collaborator , Anarchitect has realised a low-tech edifice that shows the importance of natural light to visitors , who can enter the space and enjoy the optical performance of light play in architecture .

THE BEIRUT CONCEPT STORE
Last year saw a tough moment for the Beirut creative scene , with the August 2020 explosion taking down many studios and spaces in the city . Following this , support poured in from the industry , and it hasn ’ t stopped . For Dubai Design Week , 50 established and emerging Lebanese creatives get a moment
in the spotlight at The Beirut Concept Store in Dubai Design District ( D3 ). Curated by Mariana Wehbe , The Beirut Concept Store will showcase a wide range of creative fields , including ceramics to collectible design . Included are works by Borgi Bastormagi , Atelier Nadeen , Nathalie Khayat , Souraya Haddad , and Marylynn and Carlo Massoud , plus works from new creative platform Exil Collective that aims to promote budget-conscious designs that are made locally .
