Untitled at FA Gallery


I popped by FA Gallery's latest exhibition/furniture show titled Untitled ( Language of Things ) by Imad Sadik. According to FA Gallery's facebook page, Imad caught the design bug after visiting an exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum, which inspired him to establish his own design company called A&A that focuses on delivering interesting pieces that tell a story. Two pieces that really caught my attention were this pasta-looking sofa shown in the first photo and the lit-up sofa shown in the last photo on this post. Not sure if they're meant to be sit on or not, and I didn't want to take any chances by sitting on them and cause a blackout for the lit-up sofa. Should have asked the FA representatives....

It is worth mentioning that A&A does personal consulting, and offers a range of design works. Here's a quick look at some of the pieces on display. The exhibition is on until 12th November.

I hate how people here randomly call themselves designers then go and steel ideas of other famous designers and make ugly versions of it..certainly to clear your eyes from contamination please check the original chair of Tom Dixon AND IT DOESN'T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE PASTA!!!
a piece of advise to those people that are contaminating the design world " GO STUDY OR GET ANOTHER JOB"

Thanks for sharing though.. I've gone through Tom Dixon's online catalog and the stuff which he designed is just beyond amazing!

The spaghetti chair is an iconic piece of design furniture. Nobody "here" called themselves a designer. This is a young man who collected these items for this show. May I suggest that you not make such brash comments when you are not well informed. Tom Dixon's chair doesn't look like pasta because it was not designed to look like pasta. This is a very special chair that is durable made from molded silcone. Both in design and material this piece makes its mark in design history.

I passed today by Fa Gallery to check the exhibition. The pieces are amazing, i have recognized 2 of the designers, Mario Bellini and Gaetano Pesce, Italian are the best!
I have 1 of Pesce sofa in my house in London and it is stunning!
Wondering why the FA GAllery didnt mention the name of the designers!
It is a shame cause it would have had more value to such exhibition and to this company who is collecting the pieces!

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
