As part of the annual Urban Commisions competition, Dubai Design Week has also invited designers and architects to develop outdoor furniture for public spaces, which could be made into a reality if the design is a winner. The Abwab initiative will also return and feature emerging talent from West, South and East Asia as well as Africa. This year Abwab will follow the theme of 'In the Details'.
