La Galerie Nationale primarily focus on bringing a selection of finest vintage 20th century objects to the UAE market. Such pieces, although limited in numbers, are painstakingly sourced and, when necessary, restored so that each piece will embody the vision of the designer & the spirit of life during this period.
For 2013 we taken a decision to promote 20th century design alongside contemporary works to underscore the link between past and present and respond to the evolving tastes of the marketplace. Central to the new designers will be Helidon Xhixha, best known for his style of experimenting with Murano glass and stainless steel. Xhixha concentrates on capturing the light by folding and turning the steel inside out so that the very form of the sculpture becomes of secondary importance.He will reveal a selection of new pieces to reflect his ideology of creating external environments, colours and brightness.
Additionally, La Galerie Nationale exhibits works by acclaimed Iraqi artist Sarmad Al-Mussawi, talented Lebanese architect Fadi Sarieddine, new emerging designer Philippe Bresson whose four distinctive and exclusive designs represent his Middle Eastern debut and Arnaud Rivieren sculptor and now designer.
Since opening the gallery, we have cemented our position amongst art collectors, connoisseurs & enthusiasts and has grown to be considered as the authority of genuine design in the Middle East. Our decision to showcase a broad variety of works highlights the gallery's maturing presence in the Middle East, and offers an opportunity to set the stage for the latest design trends and vintage offerings.
