This ceramic table combines the café culture of France with the majlis setting of the Emirates, featuring an Emirati 'takiya' as a backrest, celebrating community and tradition through a simplified, curved design in vibrant red.

Bringing together the café culture of France and the majlis setting of the Emirates, this ceramic table is a celebration of community, tradition and socialization. The Emirati ‘takiya’ functions as a backrest in the majlis setting, draped in a vibrant red with traditional motifs. Inspired by the function and social nature of the French café table, the piece uses a curved form of the traditional ‘takiya’, simplified with the recognizable shade of red. The table’s curves are emphasized by creases, referencing the natural folding and softness of the original takiya.

Takiya will be featured at the UAE Designer Exhibition, supported by Dubai Culture & Arts Authority (Dubai Culture)
