Double trouble
Designed by the critically acclaimed French designer Vincent Dubourg, the black steel Double Buffet Nouvelle Zelande has been cut and twisted to look as if it is in a state of decay. The piece, which will be showcased at Design Days Dubai by Carpenters Workshop Gallery, is also the winner of the prestigious 2011 Moët Hennessy Pavilion of Art and Design New York Prize.
Fusion design
Dominic Harris is an interactive artist whose latest creation, Phable, blurs the distinctions between table and light. Commissioned by Priveekollektie in The Netherlands, Phable will make its debut at Design Days Dubai and is tipped to be a show-stopper.
Seoul food
Design Days Dubai is the Seoul-based gallery Croft's first international design fair. As part of its offering, the gallery will showcase the 0121 Chair by the acclaimed Korean designer Lee Jae-Hyo. Finely crafted out of pine and chestnut, the chair is characterised by its incredible tactility.
Presenze of mind
Designed exclusively for Italy's Nilufar Gallery, the Presenze collection was created by Piergiorgio Robino and Alice Carlotta Occleppo of the Torino-based Nucleo design studio. Made up of five-centimetre-by-five-centimetre cubes cast in epoxy resin, the collection gives traditional, 19th-century baroque forms a new, minimalist twist.
Cedar heights
All work exhibited by Galerie BSL at Design Days Dubai has been exclusively commissioned by the gallery owner Beatrice Saint-Laurent and consists of limited-edition pieces that explore the shifting borders between contemporary art, design and architecture. We particularly love the Cedar folding screen by the French-Lebanese designer Charles Kalpakian.
Stitched up
The Brussels-based design dealer, collector and adviser Victor Hunt is well known for investing in emerging designers' graduation, prototype and limited-edition works. Among these is Stitching Concrete, a new project by the young German designer Florian Schmid, which involves the time-intensive process of folding fabric that has been impregnated with cement and then drenched in water.

Day 2, Abu Dhabi Test: At a glance
Moment of the day Dinesh Chandimal has inherited a challenging job, after being made Sri Lanka’s Test captain. He responded in perfect fashion, with an easy-natured century against Pakistan. He brought up three figures with a majestic cover drive, which he just stood and admired.
Stat of the day – 33 It took 33 balls for Dilruwan Perera to get off the mark. His time on zero was eventful enough. The Sri Lankan No 7 was given out LBW twice, but managed to have both decisions overturned on review. The TV replays showed both times that he had inside edged the ball onto his pad.
The verdict In the two previous times these two sides have met in Abu Dhabi, the Tests have been drawn. The docile nature of proceedings so far makes that the likely outcome again this time, but both sides will be harbouring thoughts that they can force their way into a winning position.

Managing the separation process
- Choose your nursery carefully in the first place
- Relax – and hopefully your child will follow suit
- Inform the staff in advance of your child’s likes and dislikes.
- If you need some extra time to talk to the teachers, make an appointment a few days in advance, rather than attempting to chat on your child’s first day
- The longer you stay, the more upset your child will become. As difficult as it is, walk away. Say a proper goodbye and reassure your child that you will be back
- Be patient. Your child might love it one day and hate it the next
- Stick at it. Don’t give up after the first day or week. It takes time for children to settle into a new routine.And, finally, don’t feel guilty.

His advice to anyone starting out in business is to have no fear as life is about taking on challenges.
“If you have the ambition and dream of something, follow that dream, be positive, determined and set goals.
"Nothing and no-one can stop you from succeeding with the right work application, and a little bit of luck along the way.”
