What's #VERYTandC here?
The history: India Mahdavi. Daniel Arsham. Armani/Casa. The Future Perfect. Such are the design tours de force behind 14 unique townhouses at the Culture Pass Club, Qatar’s first members-only arts club in Msheireb Downtown Doha, a gleaming $5.5 billion design district currently under development in the country’s capital.
Townhouse 4, seen here, is the creation of Mahdavi, who referenced her own background—the Paris-based designer is of Iranian, Egyptian, and Scottish descent—for an exquisite display of eclecticism. Her Charlotte chairs mingle with rattan and ceramic pieces from her collection; the rugs are from a collaboration with La Manufacture Cogolin. On the walls? Custom de Gournay, naturally, inspired by the works of Reza Abbasi, the 16th-century miniaturist. “It gives the space a tailored feel,” Mahdavi says, “and an identity that resonates with the location.”
The fans: Anyone who has set foot in Sketch, London’s most feverishly Instagrammed restaurant, which was designed by Mahdavi.
The news: Founded by Sheikha Al Mayassa Al Thani with the help of DW Northstar, the design consultancy created by former Elle Decor editor in chief and T&C style director Whitney Robinson, the Culture Pass Club will host fashion shows, exhibits, and events for members, who will also have priority to rent one of these homes when they’re in town for the World Cup next year.
