2025 - Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab

Nadine Kanso’s artistry is synonymous with bold expressions of Arabic identity. As the founder of the jewellery house Bil Arabi, her work reimagines calligraphy into timeless, wearable art. At Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, her vision extends beyond jewellery into the realm of fine porcelain, creating an exclusive collection in collaboration with French porcelain house Bernardaud. 

At the heart of the design is the word Maraheb, a fusion of Marhaba (welcome) and Hubb (love) – a poetic embodiment of Middle Eastern hospitality. Her sweeping brushstrokes, fluid and dynamic, mirror the movement of water, a homage to the maritime essence of Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab. Each handcrafted plate and cup is more than just tableware; it is an invitation to gather, to indulge, and to celebrate the beauty of connection.
