In a cosy setting at Kulture House in Jumeirah, author Nisrine El Lababidi hosted a book reading & signing for her upcoming book ‘HOMES - We Make Them, They Make Us’.

Dubai has become hub for creative dreamers and risk takers. Who they are and how they live is inevitably reflected in the house they live in and the homes they create for themselves.

Author Nisrine El Lababidi is an acclaimed interior designer and in this book, she invited readers into some of the most charming and striking homes in the city of Dubai. Through oil barrels masquerading as coffee tables to Matisse-inspired feature walls, the book journeys into the lives of those who are calling this city home.

By exploring the homes of architects, film-makers, ballet dancers and journalists, Homes celebrates an extraordinary city, its vibrant residents, and the glorious satisfaction of a deliciously cosy armchair.
