Looking for some cultural serving to add to your weekend plans? Editions, Dubai – the Middle East’s first limited-edition art and design fair with a curation of works over 50 galleries, design studios, and collectives – is running until November 9, 2024.

The inaugural fair offers a last chance to explore high-quality, limited edition works – from prints and contemporary design to photography, ceramics, and works on paper – at varied prices in the Middle East and engage with contemporary creatives. “Editions is an exciting new addition to Dubai’s cultural calendar, bringing together a vibrant line up of limited-edition design and art, that we usually do not otherwise have access to and set alongside an already successful contemporary design fair that is for both design industry and the public, is an offer that is unique and will further add shaping Dubai’s booming design scene. Editions provides a new platform for discover; collectors or first-timers, design afficionados and the culturally curious alike can uncover works from around the world, in categories that differ what those usually presented at art fairs or collective design fairs” says Mette Degn-Christensen, Director of Downtown Design.

“Design gallery Blooker will exhibit a collection by Nian Architects Studio that reimagines minimalist industrial components into sophisticated furniture pieces. The featured Sunrise Chair for example is a sculptural piece that embodies the majestic beauty of the dawn. Lacquered wood and brass colours blend with the fabric with this piece, evoking the gentle arc of the sun and shades of the sky at sunset.”
Hestia Gallery

“Elsa Foulon who embraces the unpredictability of fire in shaping her large organic lights, presented by Hestia Gallery”
SANATORIUM
“Çağla Köseoğulları solo booth will be exhibiting works that are part of her Sky, Earth and Ten Thousand Things Series that consist of block printing ink on paper. In her work, the artist focuses on on social and psychological landscapes, the natural environment and its animate and inanimate parts by establishing relationships with the concepts of space and memory. She’s interested in how the things she sees, perceives and feels in her private world, in the course of the daily flow of life and in the face of social events are transformed into a form on paper. The artist becomes acquainted with the medium, discovers the surface and looks for answers to her questions each time when she is solving a problem.”
