Following up on an impressive showcase of traditional Arabic and local culture incorporated with art and design at Tafaseel earlier this year, the Bluribbon Design Artelier and artist Bachir Mohamed Khir have come up with their Ramadan collection for Doha audience.
Featuring timeless and creative art reflecting the spirits of cultures woven into lifestyle furniture and furnishing pieces such as artworks, cushions and pillows, with contemporary and exclusive designs to suit any interior design requirement, the exhibition is running at Katara Art Centre (KAC), Building 5 at Katara Cultural Village. 
It showcases handmade furniture that is customised from loose pieces into overall seating sets as Majlis and more with different styles, influences and concepts.
The collection features beautiful artworks, including calligraphy and other art forms, bringing a whole new dimension to interiors with prints that can be hanged on walls, adding colour warmth and style to any wall.
The artworks are complimented with a wide collection of Zari cushions, fashioned in the same vein as the rest of the furniture. The exhibition also features other collections of customised cushions, pillows and floor seating sets. 
“Zari cushions is one of our lines of designer collections. Most of the artworks on these Zari cushions are based on Arabic calligraphy and Islamic patterns and views,” Bachir Mohamed Khir, the Projects Manager and Interior Designer at Bluribbon Design Atelier tells Community.
“They are premium silk satin collections. In our furniture collection, we have designs that we customised at Bluribbon Atelier on the lines of Arabic Majlis and some of these pieces were displayed at the Tafaseel Showcase earlier this year,” he adds.
You will also find some seated pillows and cushions that are traditionally used in a Majlis setting. They also have in their collection, benches and tables that have been customised in India with pure brass and semi-precious stones. There are also small miniature chairs for children, which can be used as gift items.
“The glittering pieces that you see in the corner are actually Moroccan ashtrays and some handmade brass and steel vases with mirror finish. The artworks hanging above them are printed canvas covered with fancy glass,” says Khir.
Most of the artwork is calligraphic representation of Qur’anic verses and other Arabic expressions, in addition to names of God. The paintings are a collection from an artist from Bahrain. 
Usually such artworks are copied trends from original copyrighted artworks. But not here.
“We buy the original artwork from the artist to do the printing. We have artists from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain but now we are trying to include Qatari artists as well,” says the interior designer. He hopes they will have other lines as well from Qatari artists in future.
Bluribbon Design Atelier, Khir says, is a wide multidisciplinary agency focusing an approach to interior design languages, strategies and research.
“It is not a univocal choice but a skill that makes it possible to have the widest possible vision on design. Re-thinking the way we imagine, design and create is central to our vision, a globally integrated and agile approach that delivers the right costs and right skills by organising and integrating closely with partners, manufacturers and suppliers world-wide,” says Khir.
Bluribbon Design Atelier has proved to be a firm of high reputation and standing with their existing clientele, he adds. The primary objective of the platform is to provide the finest products and services in the field of Interior Design.
