It’s amazing to see how the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is thriving, and we’re seeing some of the most amazing projects coming up there. The Design Middle East  Awards KSA were held on February 9, 2023, at the Fairmont Riyadh to celebrate and recognise the talent, projects, and companies that are game changers in the region. Here are some glimpses of the starry night.

A special thanks to our sponsors, Kohler, Havelock One Interiors, Marketing Home Group, J&T Express Middle East, and Numai, for their ongoing support.
