For the London Design Festival I am so excited to be showcasing my Inky Dhow pattern – created during lockdown, drawn from my Dhow design which was originally inspired by the billowing movement of striped sails on the traditional boats I once spied sailing around the Gulf of Oman – during our month-long Inky Dhow installation at Sketch. Here you’ll see it translated across a variety of materials, executed using a combination of age-old and cutting-edge techniques by our wonderful expert craft partners from around the world, but always interpreted in my signature contemporary style.

Come immerse yourself in the kaleidoscopic look, feel and emotional resonance of Inky Dhow at Sketch until October 16th, brought to life through my collaborations with Shamsian, Bill Amberg Studio, 1882 Ltd. , BARONCELLI and cc-tapis

Here you’ll see it translated across a variety of materials, executed using age-old techniques by our wonderful expert craft partners located all around the world, but always interpreted in my signature inviting and contemporary way, perfect for 21st century modern living.

Please join us to really experience the incredible look, feel and emotional resonance of my collaborations with the Muscat-based marquetry workshop , overseen by one of our most special craft partners Mohammad Reza Shamsian, , , , and .
