It’s that time of the year, right between Thanksgiving and Christmas, when the design community comes together to rally forth for a sustainable future. Surge’s Design Dine Make a Difference Gala is 10 days away, and here are the entries by our contestants. Place your bids now!
Supported by No Grey Area and a host of other Surge Ambassadors, the Surge gala has once again stirred the design and architecture community to contribute towards helping communities in need of clean water.
The initiatives by Surge have been ongoing for more than a decade and the support extended to them keeps building as they pave forward.
Currently in its 11th year, 11 contestants will be showcasing their masterpieces at the Design, Dine, Make a Difference gala evening to be held at the Address Hotel in Dubai Marina on December 5, 2019, and with inspiration drawn from geometric elements found in nature, the jury panel are looking forward to unveiling these bespoke creations.
