Dubai's AlSerkal Avenue is building a reputation as an art and design hub. The latest tenants include La Galerie Nationale, which opened its doors late last month with a show of very collectible designer furniture.
La Galerie Nationale specialises in original design from the 20th century; it's been active for 20 years in Europe, representing designers such as Raymond Loewy, Pierre Guariche, Marco Zanuso, Alexandre Noll, Geoffrey Harcourt, Max Ingrand, Serge Mouille, and Warren Platner.
