Traditional Middle Eastern Seating Gets a Contemporary Spin

In a bid to highlight emerging creative minds, the ongoing Dubai Design Week is promoting designers from across the region; among them is Ayah Al Bitar from Saudi Arabia.

Al Bitar, a graduate from the New York Parsons New School for Design, embraces cultural elements to create organic geometric forms reminding of oversized bicycle seats. Here, we exclusively reveal her traditional Middle Eastern seating with a contemporary spin: luxurious furs are dyed sunset reds, lemon yellows, and rich blues and purples while leather seats that encourage social interaction feature embroideries showcasing various everyday tableaus.

The Wisada winter collection launch will take place at Dubai Design District, building 7, Unit B402, today and tomorrow from 5pm to 10pm.
