Pretty and Practical Pieces by Farah


Anyone who ever decorated a small space knows how crucial it is to buy pieces that are not only pretty but also practical and space saving.  Kuwaiti designer Farah Al Humaidhi did exactly that and more. When I visited her recent exhibition tiled Pieces by Farah, she effortlessly showed me how to transform a modern one seater into two ottomans (or can be an ottoman and a table?). And then she showed me a set of  lego-style nesting tables which I swear at first glance looked like a normal one high table (not featured here). That's genius!
Looking at her pieces up close, I realized that this is not just another copy/paste exhibition. Farah has smartly played with new techniques and different shapes resulting in her own very distinct style. The way she designed the tables, lace-like vases, and metal mesh and lace covered lamps is simply amazing, and most importantly practical, pieces of art that people would want to buy and decorate their homes with.

You can customize can any of the pieces of Farah's collection, colors and wood type, to your taste. Her work is currently being exhibited at AL Tilal Complex (November Head Office) today only. And in two weeks time, you will also be able to order online through her website.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

Amazing Alia

Several months ago I posted about Alia Designs , a Kuwaiti talented designer of traditional clothes and dresses. Back then, I liked one of the items featured on her website.
