The collaboration will launch a jointly developed platform in the region for collectible design, featuring a flagship event and year-round programming, beginning early 2027 in Dubai. "The partnership with Design Miami marks Alserkal's continued commitment to pioneering socially responsible and forward-thinking cultural initiatives in the region and beyond," says the Dubai art major.

Alserkal proposes to build on Design Miami's 20-year experience of convening leading galleries, collectors and practitioners as the global forum for collectible design. Shaped by perspectives from the UAE and the wider Middle East, besides Alserkal's commitment to thoughtful, context-driven curation, the alliance will bring together a like-minded community of designers, collectors and leading creative voices. Together, Alserkal and Design Miami hope to create a platform for a global exchange of ideas, reinforcing Dubai's ranking as an international destination for collectible design. The initiative will feature a range of year-round activities, including opportunities for learning and community dialogue.
