The Design Middle East Awards are one of the region’s most popular award ceremonies. But what we’ve been through this year has been out of this world; we’ve broken all records and received nominations from new, much further, and long-time admirers. Thank you so much for your love and support.
Presenting the much-awaited shortlist for the Design Middle East Awards 2021 to be held on
