Stocked at Concept-Me in Al Quoz, 24:35 made its official debut during this year’s Dubai Design Week – a quiet, unassuming launch befitting of a company built on holistic principles and Sufi-inspired philosophies.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting the 24:35 Press Launch at Zebra Square Gallery – and what a feast for the eyes and the senses it was! This designer homeware company is really something special, combining natural materials in the most exquisite way.
