Makma Art Gallery and 1865 La Maison have announced a captivating collaboration, inviting visitors to embark on a journey of artistic expression and design with a special exhibition at the 1865 La Maison Gallery showroom, on public display from today, 10th of January.
Featuring unique pieces from Makma Art Gallery, the curated space offers a distinctive experience – a living gallery of art, showcasing glass and crystal pieces from leading artisans of the 19th and 20th centuries. Centred around the theme of ‘Home Jewels’, the vibrant display of vivid and dazzling coloured pieces represents an intersection of art and interior design.
Makma Art Gallery’s extensive collection mirrors the centuries-old history of glass and crystal manufacturing. Focusing on European master craftsmen who reinterpreted traditional Islamic glass and crystal art, the gallery bridges the gap between the past and present. It presents unique pieces from Europe’s leading glass and crystal houses, particularly from Bohemia, through a fresh and modern lens.
Alia Sefrioui, Founder of Makma Art Gallery, which has its permanent gallery space in Abu Dhabi, commented on the launch: “It is an honour to partner with 1865 La Maison to bring our shared passion for beautiful interiors, design and art to audiences in the region. The delicate translucency and vibrant colours of our glass pieces complement the contemporary and classic furniture on display at 1865 La Maison. This partnership follows our mission to build a hub for artistic and cultural exchange through Makma Art Gallery that blurs the lines between tradition and modernity, connecting people through a shared identity.”
