KUWAIT CITY, Jan 10: Five Kuwaiti designers and architects have earned international recognition, securing places among the top creative talents in design, decoration, and architecture. Mishari Al-Nassar, Jassim Al-Sadah, Khaled Al-Awadi, Nasser Abu Al-Hassan, and Rawan Maqadas have all been listed in the prestigious “AD 100” for 2024, a compilation by the renowned American design company “Architectural Digest,” part of the esteemed “Condé Nast” portfolio specializing in design, culture, and luxury lifestyle.

Each of these individuals has showcased distinctive designs, enabling them to compete and earn spots among the 100 leading visionaries and innovators in the Middle East and Africa. Their contributions set new standards in innovative design across various domains, including interior decoration, architecture, and product design.

Expressing his thoughts, Mishari Al-Nassar stated to Al-Rai, “It is significant for us as Kuwaitis to be internationally recognized and included in the TOP 100. Achieving global recognition, beyond local boundaries, is truly heartening, especially considering the abundance of talent in Kuwait that deserves such acknowledgment.” The competition involved more than 200 companies across the Middle East and Africa.

Emphasizing the importance of support, Al-Nassar highlighted, “As individuals who have been active in the market for some time, all we require is moral support and a genuine presence in the global market. Kuwaitis collaborate, despite each of us having our own company.”

Al-Nassar secured his place in the TOP 100 through designs from his company, “Studio Meshary AlNassar,” while Al-Sadah represented “Babnimnim,” Al-Awadi represented “Fortytwelve,” Abu Al-Hassan represented “AGi,” and Maqadas represented “MA Studio.” This recognition marks a significant milestone for Kuwait’s design community on the global stage.
