Identity celebrates Ramadan with gifts, accessories and furnishings designed to make sharing quality time with family and friends even better.
As we invite our nearest and dearest into our homes to celebrate Ramadan, the need to create an atmosphere that’s welcoming, inspiring and comforting causes us to look for pieces to help forge memories that will last a lifetime. This season brings a fascination with decadent patterns and dynamic shapes crafted by talented local designers and creators from around the globe, and we’ve found contemporary pieces that promise you can indulge those you care about with the ultimate luxury: time for one another.
Dining – or feasting – with style has never been easier. The classic Ilse collection for Georg Jensen brings elegance to the table – or any surface – with its fluid, soothing lines. Designed to enhance beautiful dining rituals without the rigidity of formal dining, it’s an ideal choice for the modern hostess.
