In the gleaming heart of Dubai’s Design District, where the world’s creative pulse gathers in November, Moiré Gallery Milano makes its radiant debut at Dubai Design Week 2025, taking part in Editions—the Middle East’s fair devoted to limited-edition art and design. From November 5 to 9, the Milanese gallery unveils a luminous dialogue between architecture and emotion through the sculptural lighting of Isabella Garbagnati.
Curated by Ouafa Lotfi Tahoun, founder of Moiré Gallery Milano, the presentation introduces Dubai’s design connoisseurs to Garbagnati’s deeply Italian sensibility—one that balances structure and softness, precision and poetry. A granddaughter of an architect and a direct relative of Gio Ponti, Garbagnati carries the lineage of modern Italian design forward, crafting lighting pieces that are as architectural as they are lyrical.
Each creation, conceived and hand-assembled in Milan, channels the intimate rhythm of craftsmanship. Glass, brass, alabaster, iron, quartz, resin, and copper converse gently with their central protagonist: light. The result is a choreography of materials that glows with timeless elegance—objects that transcend function to become quiet reflections on form, balance, and luminosity.
“For my gallery’s debut at Dubai Design Week, I wanted to showcase an artist who embodies the essence of Italian refinement,” says Tahoun. “Isabella Garbagnati represents that harmony of heritage and innovation, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary experimentation.”
Located on Via Borgospesso 18 in Milan’s Quadrilatero, Moiré Gallery Milano is known for its symphonic approach to art, fashion, and design—a curated interplay of established masters, emerging voices, and collectible pieces that speak to a cosmopolitan eye. Its presence in Dubai marks a natural evolution: an international chapter where Italian artistry encounters global modernity.
At Stand E29 within Editions, the gallery invites visitors to experience design as a tactile narrative—one that bridges continents through craftsmanship and light. In Garbagnati’s work, the glow is never static; it breathes, it remembers, it evokes. It is, in essence, Italy reimagined.
