The workshop will address the role that Arabic lettering plays in bringing an Arab/Middle Eastern look and identity to product design, made by and/or for the region. It will show key case studies of work by several designers from the Khatt Foundation network. 3D lettering and typographic systems in furniture design production with different local materials/techniques, and new visual design approaches will be discussed, as well as what ideas and strategies can be developed for UAE-based design and designers.
