‘Al Shedad’ is a unique interior design piece, thoughtfully designed by House of Artisans and manufactured by Make Abu Dhabi, with Kivara providing sustainable product consultancy. The design incorporates DATEFORM, as one of its primary elements.

The stool is a piece that draws inspiration from practical and functional seating used by Bedouin nomads during their journeys across the desert. The striking furniture piece pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of the United Arab Emirates and also the sustainable materials born out of locally sourced raw materials and traditional Bedouin techniques.

This project is not only a testament to the invaluable raw materials available in the United Arab Emirates but also to the innovative ways of incorporating and utilising these traditional techniques into modern designs.
