For Downtown Design Dubai 2024, we collaborated with de Gournay, the British luxury wallcovering brand known for its hand-painted and hand-embroidered wall art, to create a Majlis installation. The Majlis, a traditional Arab reception room designed for gathering and conversation, was conceived as a complete designed environment, with our marquetry furniture and brass detailing set against de Gournay's Deco Palms wallcovering. It was a meeting between two luxury craft traditions rooted in very different cultural contexts, brought together in a form that is central to Arab social life.
