“Rituals” 

at NOMAD Abu Dhabi 2025 

A glass calls for celebration.
A chair invites rest.
A table gathers.

These pieces do more than serve;
they transform. 
They create rituals,
and people follow.

Continuing from its first chapter in Istanbul, the exhibition is approached as a ceremony where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Each object becomes a passage between people, time, and meaning.

The chamber brings together exquisite design works inspired by Ottoman traditions and minimal lines. Alongside them, mid-century classics, bespoke sculptural European furniture with Asian influences, collectible Murano glasses, and newly designed pieces created by Gem Alf for this exhibition.

Through selection, design, and curation, heritage and modernity find balance.
