Al-Sabah Art & Design Collection, a contemporary art and design gallery, is scheduled to open its doors in Dubai in March 2009.
A key mission of the Al-Sabah Art & Design Collection, created by Villa Moda founder Sheikh Majed Al-Sabah, is to promote the craftsmanship of the Middle East to a wider audience. Al-Sabah Art & Design is also trying to encourage local governments to take more responsibility in preserving their cultural heritage.
Projects which will be unveiled at the gallery’s opening in 2009 include new work by Studio Job, Maarten Baas, Marcel Wanders and Jaime Hayon who are creating limited edition pieces in collaboration with local artisans.
