Wood marquetries and fretworks, white, rust, blue and gold in majolicas and weave, geometrical and vegetal motifs decorate structural elements and accessories. Western vision of Arab furniture and interior design is influenced by Moorish attraction and fairy-tale splendor, marginalizing the modern and syncretic tendency of Middle Eastern most advanced countries.
Certainly, tradition and arabesque distinguish current aesthetic in countries such as Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, but in addition with contemporary essential lines and neutral materials which find their proper place in modern residential and touristic spaces.
Straight aluminium and white upholstered chairs intensify architectural elements and desert flower decorations, not more bundled in absolute and thick weaves. Sand, beige, pearl grey and natural wood colors are furniture characterizing features in each location. The presence of a unique piece recalls the original culture. This occurs in luxury residences, in hotels, trendy bars in Middle Eastern big cities, where wide glass windows and industrial style trusses cover interior gardens and new age roof gardens.
It is a sign of a structural and interior architecture which exhibits a functional, western and sober beauty without forgetting its original roots.
