Donna Taha

Architect and interior designer

Trained as an architect, Donna has spent the past ten years designing spaces. She works the way she collects: slowly, drawn to what most people walk past, and to the details others miss. For Donna, curiosity isn't a phase of the work. It is the work.

The studio

Studio Curio is a furniture and design studio in Dubai, exploring how objects and spaces make us feel. Its pieces draw on the materials, craft traditions and textures already around us in this region, and each one is designed to stay. The studio was shaped in a moment of uncertainty, out of a need for presence and permanence.
