The Nomad is a contemporary architectural reinterpretation of the Arish – a traditional Gulf house made from palm trees and fronds.
Using similar modular building techniques Khalid Shafar offers a new outdoor design which functions both as a social space and a sculptural installation. Placed in the iconic surroundings of the Rootstein Hopkins Parade Ground at Chelsea College, The Nomad now invites you to sit, meet, converse, study and relax.
Dubai-based Khalid Shafar is the United Arab Emirates’ leading designer and founder of design studio KHALID SHAFAR and showcase space KASA. His work has been showcased in many exhibitions and galleries in the Gulf as well as Tokyo, Berlin, Paris, Los Angeles, London and Milan.
Presented in partnership with the Dubai Design District (d3) and Abu Dhabi Festival
