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.

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
