CONGRESS. IX Downtown Design Dubai

Downtown Design is the most important trade fair for the interior design industry in the Middle East. It takes place during Dubai Design Week and attracts the most influential interior designers, architects, property developers and distributors, among many other buyers.

ICEX Spain Trade & Investment returns to the 9th edition of Downtown Design with the exhibition “Interior Makers”, curated by the Spanish architect and university professor Juan Roldán. ‘Interior Makers’ has been conceived to become a benchmark for Spanish interior design products throughout the world, taking into account the potential of the Middle Eastern markets for Spanish manufacturers.

The eight shortlisted brands to show their latest news at ‘Interior Makers’ are: Böln, Cosentino, Kriskadecor, Lladró, Nani Marquina, Nomon, RS Barcelona and Sol y Luna.
Sustainability has been one of Juan Roldán’s main priorities when creating the “Interior Makers” exhibition. Recycled materials have been used to maximize the pavilion experience with a low carbon footprint.

In the framework of the conferences “The Forum” in Downtown Design, Juan Roldán will moderate a debate on ‘Sustainable Environments’ at different scales with Marisa Santamaria (Director of Global Innovation Trends Unit) and Xavi Calvo (CEO of World Design Capital Valencia 2022) . This panel will take place on November 10 at 4:15 pm at the expo.
