With a concept that seeks to expand the vocabulary of traditional crafts, the collaboration is part of Carwan's project "Contemporary Perspectives in Middle Eastern Crafts" exploring new avenues in design. Each designer's work encapsulates the re-imagining of a distinct, time-honoured craft, where the specialized technique of the artisan has formed the basis for the designer's creations. For the occasion, a workshop with ALBA will launch the project.
