The Mashrabiya
The mashrabiya, with its wooden elements, is a part of every middle eastern home, & is a crucial element of our architecture. Its main functionality was used for protecting and preserving our privacy. However, it has recently been re-introduced into arab & international design for its beautiful wooden pattern details. Our seating design is inspired by the balconies of early emirati houses where gatherings often occurred. ‘jalsa’ was inspired by these gatherings that tell a tale of our rich history & enriches our present design.
