Striking designs inspired by iconic Islamic heritage were brought to life through a collaboration between young talents and local artisans at the Form Craft exhibition, which concluded yesterday.
The event, staged at Al Jasra Crafts Centre, featured 16 creations, including lighting fixtures, apparel pieces and desk and home accessories, produced by Bahrain University’s 21-year-old design students.
The young designers worked with craftsmen from Al Jasra village or collaborated with their own families that preserve an inherited local craft.
Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities director general of heritage Shaikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Khalifa graced the programme as the chief guest.
