Founded in 2013, the Design Days Dubai fair is renowned as one of the biggest international design fairs, playing host to stunning installations, exclusive presentations and world design premiers.

This is an opportunity for makers to realise their ambitions to work with international clients including collectors, galleries and retailers by showcasing their work at a world-class design show.

The fourth edition of the fair – that took place earlier this year – attracted visitor numbers of 13,500 people and featured 150 designers and more than 780 items from 44 exhibitors across 20 countries.

They also host a public programme of free hands-on workshops and talks with leading design experts discussing design processes, theory and trends.

This is an opportunity for makers to explore this new market supported by the Crafts Council and UK Trade & Investment (UKTI).
