On the occasion of Dubai Design Week 2025 (4—9 November 2025), Isola Design Group unveils Isola Space, its first physical venue and a new landmark for the international design community. Isola Space is located at The Lana Promenade, Dorchester Collection, Marasi Bay. It is just minutes from the Dubai Design District. Isola Space functions as an exhibition gallery, design store, café, workspace area, and an event venue.
The opening of Isola Space is scheduled for Tuesday, November 4th, 2025. There will be aperitivo bites and signature mixology by The Art of Hosting. Untitled 1C will feature a live performance (at 6 pm / 7 pm / 8 pm) by Tellurico Design Studio. They will carve raw wooden blocks to reveal the labour behind the making of a collectible design object. Additionally, there will be a contemporary dance performance by Wolke7-stageworks.
To inaugurate the space, Isola presents the group exhibition “Icons of Tomorrow”, alongside two additional shows in the Dubai Design District — “Heart, Head, Hand” at Double J Collective and “Living Forms” at Sevil Dolmacı Gallery.
ICONS OF TOMORROW
Isola Space, The Lana Promenade
November 4 — December 6, 2025; h 10 am – 8 pm
Isola Space hosts Icons of Tomorrow, a group exhibition featuring a curated selection of products, research, and experiments by designers who are shaping the future of contemporary design.
Epoche Studio creates a side table made from a fossil framed in cast aluminum. It merges an artifact once in motion with the stillness of cast metal. Jinil Park’s Drawing Series presents a chair, lamp, and side table that transform 2D sketches into real-world forms. Aina Kari + Giovanni Botticelli Studio celebrate Venetian tradition with eclectic handmade glass vases and candleholders. Studio Szkło plays with light and form in glasses. These glasses bend reality. Moreover featured in the outdoor area, a lounge installation with seats by Alkimista and cylindrical handmade planters by Pots and Pines.
HEART, HEAD, HAND
Double J Collective, Building 7A at Dubai Design District
November 4 — 9, 2025; h 11 am – 8 pm
Curated together with Double J Collective, Heart, Head, Hand explores the emotional, intellectual, and tactile dimensions of the creative process. The exhibition celebrates the deep connection between people and the objects around them, showing how handmade design can bring meaning, evoke memories, and create personal connections.
From Studio Lilium’s table lamp incorporating cocoa particles as a sensory experiment, to emotional handmade vases inspired by volcanoes. Versatile boxes by Aleksandra Hyz are designed to hold anything and act as social catalysts for interaction. Each project explores new ways of connecting material, emotion, and meaning. Double J Collective is the first gallery in the UAE exclusively dedicated to contemporary craftsmanship.
LIVING FORMS
Sevil Dolmacı, Building 11 at Dubai Design District
November 4 — 9, 2025; h 10 am – 7 pm
Isola collaborates with Sevil Dolmacı to present Living Forms that showcases furniture and design objects that transcend mere functionality, highlighting culture, craftsmanship, and personal expression.
Rory Noble-Turner’s sculptural piece evolves from a chess figure into pure decor. Behnaz Pourfarhadi’s chair is inspired by the Iranian Zurkhaneh. Cultural heritage shapes the very foundation of its design. Marquisate celebrates craftsmanship with egg-shaped glasses that recall fertility. This brings timeless artistry into the present. Hasik Design Studio’s table lamps embody a sense of permanence. They are objects meant to be passed down through generations.
