In this #InsideD3 series, Savoir Flair brings you an exclusive first look inside the creative space of Dubai-based fashion brand Kage. Now based in Dubai Design District, home to some of Dubai’s most creative local designers, the newly-minted offices echo the brand’s signature contemporary-cool aesthetic. Designer Basma Abu Ghazaleh shares with us the design inspiration for her new office, saying, “It was very important for the studio to reflect the Kage brand in terms of its look and feel. For the tiny touches, I always keep an open eye when I’m traveling so most of the details and quirky accessories are from places I’ve collected from all over.”
Scroll down for a virtual tour of the space and to step inside the brand new home of Kage.
