Saudi Arabia, occupying most of the Arabian Peninsula, is home to a vast mass of desert, ancient history, rich culture and a new young and modern society blooming. Progressive and world-leading strides make Saudi Arabia a treasure trove of global attractions, historical icons and a link to a time gone by. Part of Saudi Arabia’s special fusion of elements is its architectural and design industries. The recent focus of public interest is that of Art Deco Design, which has claimed the title of Best Luxury Interior Design Studio in Saudi Arabia 2021, awarded by the New York-based Luxury Lifestyle Awards.

Art Deco architecture is characterised by its use of glass, with the use of openings in walls and windows developed to allow light to enter and for decoration. Windows are framed with square, rectangular, or round pieces of glass. The window openings are punctured by decorative elements, such as leaves or even the decorative style of the window itself.

“Art Deco” is a style of the 1920s that is characterised by geometric forms arranged in a geometric fashion. It takes its name from the international exhibition held in Paris in 1925 at the Galerie d’Art Moderne (later the Museum of Modern Art). With this context in mind, Art Deco Design creates iconic designs, ranging from luxury residential homes to large-scale projects, commercial outlets and facades, all clearly expressing this timeless style.

Nabeeh Afarah, is the Executive Director of Art Deco Design responded to the announcement of their award saying ‘we strive daily to place our best and cutting-edge skillset to task. Receiving this award is of immense importance to the team and I, as a realisation of what you can achieve when you put your mind to it. I extend my gratitude to the Luxury Lifestyle Awards’.
