Design Notes from XVA Gallery, Dubai
Greetings from Dubai!
One of the things I love most about traveling is getting to experience places like the XVA Gallery, an art gallery showcasing contemporary Middle Eastern art as well as a hotel and cafe. I’m always curious as to what creative people are up to around the world and I adore spots like the XVA that are brimming with original designs and ideas. We spent an afternoon viewing art and having lunch in its lovely courtyard. Here are some photos I took of its beautifully decorated spaces for my inspiration files:
Isn’t that chair with the face kind of crazy and fun at the same time?
So it’s been a fun few days – perfect weather, great food and some new experiences: seeing the world’s tallest tower and the world’s only 7-star hotel in the flesh, a ride on an abra (small wooden boat) and “Ladies’ Taxis” driven by and solely for transporting – you guessed it – ladies.
Alright, that’s enough gabbing for today. Next stop: India!
