Last Saturday the award ceremony for the 'Traffic Design Competition' took place for the first time. More than 100 participants from 16 cities in the Middle East and northern Africa were judged by a jury of renown experts.

'Traffic' is the first address in the Middle East, when it comes to design. The exclusive 7,000-sq-ft design gallery, founded by Rami Farook, is situated right in the middle of Dubai. It is a platform for the steadily growing design community of the Middle East and hosts an impressive design collection with works from more than 100 international designers, an extensive library and an attractive event space.
