A London-based platform dedicated to promoting cultural heritage and contemporary design from Saudi Arabia, the Gulf, and the wider Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region will host a special atelier presentation this month.
Heritage Reframed, presented by Lavish Concepts in partnership with Johara Global, will take place on 24 June 2026 at the Lavish Concepts Atelier in Chiswick, London. The event will bring together designers, creatives, and cultural practitioners to explore how heritage continues to shape contemporary fashion, design, and craftsmanship.
Founded by Nada Altobaishi and Hala AlSharekh, Lavish Concepts champions artists and designers from Saudi Arabia, the GCC, and the wider MENA region, connecting traditional craftsmanship with contemporary creative expression. The platform promotes heritage-led storytelling across fashion, interiors, lifestyle, and cultural projects.
The evening will place the spotlight on a number of Lavish Concepts brands, offering visitors an opportunity to learn more about the craftsmanship, materials, and cultural narratives behind each collection. The presentation aims to highlight the growing influence of Arab designers and artisans on the international cultural and luxury sectors.
Lavish Concepts has established partnerships with organisations including Dar Layan, Turquoise Mountain, Inaash, and the Saudi Cultural Bureau in London, supporting cultural exchange and showcasing heritage crafts from across the region.
