Tashkeel presents The Tanween Collection at INDEX 2019, showcasing high-end, limited edition furniture, lighting and decorative designed pieces that are available for sale, unveiled at Dubai Design Week every year. These selected works from Tanween Collection reflect the ongoing evolution of a UAE design aesthetic through form, function, material and process; from the organic materials of camel leather, khoos, coral and stone to practices integral to UAE identity such as language, crafts, customs and trade.
Each year, Tashkeel takes a selected cohort of 4 emerging UAE-based designers through a nine-month development programme to take a product inspired by the surroundings of the UAE from concept to completion. Since its launch in 2013, Tanween has invested in 19 UAE-based designers from 9 countries to develop 28 products. Alumni have gone on to establish their own design studios, receive prestigious commissions and exhibit at design weeks in MENA and Europe.
