'Icons of Tomorrow' presents a collection of works from a [global roster of designers and studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mise-en-abymes) — "from Epoche Studio's side table made from a fossil framed in cast aluminum, merging an artifact once in motion with the stillness of cast metal, to Jinil Park’s Drawing Series — a chair, lamp, and side table that transform 2D sketches into real-world forms." The exhibition is organized to coincide with [Dubai Design Week](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memphis-miami) and also marks the [public opening of Isola Space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inizio) itself, which is described as a multi-functional location combining a gallery with a retail outlet, café, and workspace.
