The lights are dimmed at La Galerie Nationale, Alserkal Avenue, providing a calm atmosphere as the day draws to a close. Pia Torelli greets me with a quiet, self-assured confidence, her piercing eyes emanate an enigmatic presence. The photojournalist is renowned for her photographs which capture a captivating insight into Afghanistan—from a soldier perched on a mountaintop to the classroom of a girl’s school in Kabul. Her upcoming exhibition at La Galerie Nationale on September 12, 2016 will showcase her photographic documentation of Afghanistan in 2002 and in 2013. READ HARPERS BAZAAR ARABIA ARTICLE... |

LUXURY FURNITURE: 10 GORGEOUS DINING CHAIRS By Aline Henrique When it comes to decorating a dining room, you should pay attention not only to aesthetics but to quality of furniture. Dining chairs are usually used on a daily basis and if they are made of poor materials they will not last long, whereas, luxury furniture could be a good investment. Expensive chairs will not only please your eye and contribute to an amazing dining experience, but can also become the feature of a dining room. Here are some great dining chairs from well-known luxury furniture brands from all over the world. |
|
|
Andorinha dining chair by Louis Kazan (1) One of my favorite furniture brands from Brazil makes these amazing Andorinha chairs. Leather of exceptional quality and rare woods from the Amazon make these chairs a real one-and-only piece. They will definitely add some exotic Sudamerican charm to your house. Maritime chair by Christian Liaigre (2) The name of Christian Liaigre doesn't need presentation in the world of luxury furniture. This Maritime chair could be made of oak or walnut and has a textured cast Bronze lattice panel on the back. Chair Paris by Hugues Chevalier (3) Paris chair by Hugues Chevalier looks quite simple at a first glance, but for me it symbolizes pure elegance and Parisian chic. |
|
|
Gilda Chair by Edra (4) This chair designed by Jacopo Foggini and is more an artwork than a simple piece of furniture. Each chair is a unique sculpture and no second alike exists. It is shaped my hand and have all those "dust and imperfections" that make them one of a kind. Warm amber tones of transparent crystal and liquid shape create a sense of movement. |
|
|
Cote d'Azur Chair by Christopher Guy (5) This chair has a signature and very recognizable X- cross at the back. Curved and fluid forms make this piece very feminine and delicate. Larzia chair by Trussardi (6) This chair is very masculine and classic. I love the unusual shape of the armrests made of leather. The dark wood looks time-honored and refined. Cornelius chair by Heritage collection (7) Heritage collection is another famous brand of luxury furniture. Although this chair looks quite simple at first glance, the incredible detailing and unusual materials make it very memorable and unique. |
|
|
Audrey Chair by Fendi Casa (8) The shape of Audrey chair by Fendi Casa resembles flower petals. Very graceful and tender. Moèca Chair by Rubelli (9) I love how the beautiful texture of the wood is highlighted here by the unusual shape of the back. It looks rustic and I would imagine it in a lovely chalet or countryside house. Laurel Chair by Kelly Wearstler (10) Kelly Wearstlers designs are always provocative and fearless. I love these chairs for their quirky shape and fancy upholstery. |
