In addition to the virtual summit, Msheireb Properties, in collaboration with the international design house Preciosa, is exhibiting the ‘Crystallation exhibition’, a physical exhibition that is currently placed on Sikkat Al Wadi in the city district. . Crystallation is a symbol of design innovation that offers an opportunity to show how design can raise awareness of the importance of community and collaboration. At the exhibit, each visitor will have the chance to buy a pair of Preciosa Lighting crystal trimmings. One trimming can be hung on the installation, while the second trimming is given to the purchaser to take home. Proceeds from the sale of trimmings will be donated to the Education Above All Foundation to support their education projects that target vulnerable communities across the world. The price of each crystal trimming starts from QR 50.
Doha Design District is set to be home to galleries, showrooms, creative services, stores, and even eateries and cafes. Here you can find the most exciting names, classics, trendsetters, and so much more.
The design district is a global concept, and Msheireb Downtown Doha is the ideal venue for the new district and a blank canvas that designers can make their own. Spaces are designed for spreading out, thinking big, and turning ideas into reality. DDD evolves around innovation and creativity, and design is at its core. DDD is a world-class destination that caters to the needs of creatives putting it front and center. The new Doha Design District will be a landmark in Qatar and the region and attract local and regional designers to interact with global peers to design to the next level.
