Congratulations to Dubai Design Week designer, Anjali Srinivasan, who has been named as one of SwarovskiDesigners of the Future for 2016, an award set up to discover, recognise and showcase the finest talents of a new generation of designers.
Discovered by Swarovski at the inaugural Dubai Design Week in October 2015, Dubai-based Anjali, a graduate of the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design, currently directs the UAE’s only artist-run, handcrafted glass making enterprise, ChoChoMa Studios.
For Dubai Design Week, she co-constructed with visitors ‘Untitled (Archway)’, an ephemeral, transparent arch built entirely using web-like glass filaments positioned within Dubai Design District (d3). ‘Untitled (Archway)’ was one of 12 site-specific sculptural works conceived by international artists, architects and designers chosen for their convention-challenging impact and ability to transform the cityscape.
The Swarovski Designers of the Future award highlights emerging global talent. Spotting Anjali at Dubai Design Week is a testament to Dubai’s position as the regional capital for design and global meeting point for the international design community, shining the international spotlight on the city and its exciting design talent.
