On March 23, famous design critic Olga Kosyrevawill give an unusual lecture - about design and architecture in the United Arab Emirates On March 23, Olga Kosyreva will give a lecture "Modernism with a national touch: all the most interesting from the Emirates, Lebanon and the surrounding area." An interesting event for the domestic design community will take place at the site of the Moscow representative office of the Finnish company Martela (the leader in the production of office furniture, one of the top 3 in Northern Europe). The information partner is the profile online magazine roomble.com. The lecture is dedicated to introducing the audience to the works of designers from national schools in the region and is a kind of report on the Design Days Dubai exhibition, which was held in Dubai for the third time. Mrs. Kosyreva will tell you why Dubai, for good reason, can be included in the list of traditional meccas of the design world - London, Milan, Paris, Scandinavian capitals, Basel. Olga will prove that contemporary design and the Middle East are not antagonists. As an informational bonus, the audience will learn about the pace of development of the design quarter in Dubai, fashion trends in the region, the preferences of the local elite when ordering interiors and when purchasing fashionable design novelties. Olga Kosyreva Design expert, renowned design critic, lecturer, journalist and editor with over 15 years of experience in popular, specialized and business publications, who took part in the launch and development of Russian versions of AD / Architectural Digest, Interni, Objekt magazines © Russia Collectible design dominates there (in Dubai - ed.), Which is brought by galleries from all over the world: from Europe, North and South America, South Africa, as well as from the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Lebanon. Their union impressed me with their openness and significance for the Middle East, with the fact that the local public is really ready to consume and create real designs. There are also local designers, and they strive to interpret traditional motifs and materials to fit them into a modern context. At the same time, one must understand that the Middle East is as far away from the common European design tradition as Russia. The only difference is that higher educational institutions are opening there, where world-famous designers are invited to be teachers, galleries of modern and vintage design are opening, new names appear. I found it interesting to explore the phenomenon of Middle Eastern design. I am glad to share my discoveries at a lecture.
