John Cullen, the leading global luxury lighting design company, has launched the British Design House, a first-of-its-kind curated collection of the finest and most celebrated British luxury brands known for combining design, creativity, art and function. The first British Design House studio will be located in Dubai.
The British Design House was officially opened at the ongoing Downtown Design 2020. The opening was presided by Mr. Simon Penney, Her Majesty's Trade Commissioner for the Middle East, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The British Design House is currently leading the British presence at the Downtown Design 2020, which runs from November 9-14.
Speaking on the launch, Peter Rowledge, Regional Director for John Cullen Lighting, said: "The British Design House is a celebration of Great British Design. It is a collaboration of Britain's leading designers, that have been carefully curated to give connoisseurs of luxury a taste of the innovative and quality products that have been designed, and hand crafted by these creative icons from Britain."
The British Design House or BDH will have its first permanent home in Dubai and will look to expand in other countries, aiming to grow into a global brand showcasing the best British design capabilities to the world.
"The British Design House is not just a 'show home;' it is created to give you an experience that a picture cannot," says Rowledge. "It gives you a true experience of what the amalgamation of these creative forms feels like. From the unique fabrics and marbles that are sourced from all over the world, the finesse in the finishes and the shaping and bending of the metals. The discreet lighting that creates the most perfect ambience. It is the best of British craftsmanship brought to you right here in the Middle East."
