bahraini—danish

We are an establishment that uses culturally inherent differences, both social and professional, as a means to create. On the basis of dissimilar intuitions, we engage ourselves with design. Through dialogue and by vote, we work our way, drawing by drawing, towards finding a new common order and together with local artisans and craftspeople, we carefully question the better way to make.

Our work has been presented around the Middle East and in Europe and continues to make its way from A’ali and Copenhagen into the world.

‘bahraini—danish’ was established in Bahrain in 2016 by Batool Alshaikh, Maitham Almubarak and Christian Vennerstrøm Jensen. It is named after the many historical encounters between Bahrain and Denmark in archaeology, architecture and dairy production to name a few.
