From Yarn Art to High Fashion Workshop, with Zaid Farouki

Shaw Contract, a leading manufacturer of high performance and sustainable
flooring, is delighted to be hosting together with Orangebox, a unique workshop during Dubai Design Week 2018. A special presentation will be given on the evolution of yarn and attendees will learn about the properties, specification and composition of contract carpets. There is also the opportunity to make your own yarn art piece and contribute to the creation of a one-off, collective fashion work being overseen by Zaid Farouki, destined to feature at a red carpet ceremony in the future.
