Dubai Design Week, the Middle East's premier design event, returns this November for its 10th edition with a dynamic cultural program. This year, Dubai Design Week also features two highly anticipated events: Downtown Design and Editions. Downtown Design remains the region's flagship design fair and a cornerstone of Dubai Design Week, while Editions, launching this year from November 6 to 9, will be the Middle East's first fair dedicated exclusively to limited-edition art and design. Editions will welcome 50 galleries, design studios, and collectives showcasing contemporary design, photography, ceramics, and more.

From October 18 to 20, Design Miami.Paris transformed 'Hôtel de Maisons' into a vibrant showcase of unmissable contemporary designers. Nestled in the heart of Paris, this iconic venue—revered by galleries around the world—hosted an exquisite selection of pieces that redefined the art of design. It was a rare occasion for enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the world of these creators, many of whom the public usually encounters only on the runways, now revealing new depths of their creative vision.

A collaboration between Madrid-based designer Álvaro Catalán de Ocón and a group of artisans in the Colombian Amazon and beyond, the PET Lamp collection is a vibrant, soulful project that transforms trash into treasure. Each PET Lamp is one of a kind. The shades are created by hand from discarded plastic bottles that are cut into strips and interwoven with dyed and undyed palm tree fibers by artisans in South America. Catalán de Ocón then assembles the electrical sockets and colorful fabric cords in his studio in Spain. This unique PET Lamp Chandelier brings together 21 individual pieces in a joyous celebration of craft and color—a true knockout. The look is fantastic, and the story behind it is even better.
