Adbwab – Named after the Arabic word for “doors”, this exhibition under five pavilions was dedicated to design from the region and was composed by natural materials such as fallen twigs, scrap wood and timber coated in recycled newspaper pulp. It encouraged cultural exchanges and showcasing design experiences.
Preciosa Lightning: Breath of Light – One of the most interactive installations at Downtown Design that invited people to blow onto a series of its crystal bubble chandeliers so that a path of light and subsequent sound effects were revealed. Something we’re not used to seeing it everyday.
