The Studio
“What do I want to touch? What do I want to feel? What do I want to keep?”
These were the questions, asked all at once, before any sketch. Donna Taha went looking for the answers and couldn't find them. What she found instead was that almost everything we live with is made somewhere else, by someone we'll never meet, placeless, easy to replace. None of it felt honest.
So she started making the answers herself, objects that come from somewhere real. Made near, here in the UAE, from what's already around us, with enough care to keep. She called the studio Curio, for the curiosity it's built on.
Common Grounds is the first answer. Eight pieces, made to order, homegrown in the UAE.
