Beba Creations is a homegrown brand from Abu Dhabi founded by American artist Tariq Raiz. Dedicated to the entire process from idea, design sketch, and final production of a piece, Beba Creations utilizes what is locally available in a responsible and sustainable way.Their furniture materials of choice range from camel leather to recycled wood and from striking red sand of Al Ain to metal from the local scrap yards.
When working with such a variety of materials, Beba Creations respects their natural qualities and stays true to their essence, looking to portray a tranquil yet interesting mix of objects and materials, where each piece is a work of art.
At Downtown Design, the brand will exhibit for the first time a variety of handcrafted light fixtures, as well as new concrete and camel leather furniture pieces that push design to be functional and aesthetically pleasing.
The following are a selection of some of the stunning products they will be exhibiting at the fair:
