The story

Dar reimagines one of the earliest design gestures, the frame. Art has always carried identity and memory, yet the frame stayed static, one-size and overlooked. Dar turns it from a boundary into an extension of the artwork, bringing regional craft into how we display what we love.

How it's made

The Alpi Edition is clad in Alpi wood. The Khoos Edition draws on al khoos, the Emirati craft of weaving dried date palm fronds, laid in a marquetry technique with One Third Studio. Both are finished with sculptural brass ornaments.
