The Journey of Rahal & Salman Collective: A Collaboration Rooted in Exploration and Creativity

At the crossroads of exploration and design, a unique partnership has emerged. Rahal and Salman Collective—two brands with a shared vision—have come together to create a collaborative experience that will debut at Dubai Design Week Marketplace.
Rahal’s ethos of mobility and resilience aligns perfectly with the creative spirit of Salman Collective, a personal brand built around Salman’s ability to craft emotional and impactful designs. This collaboration represents the merging of two worlds: one rooted in movement and freedom, the other in visual storytelling and artistic expression. Together, Rahal and Salman Collective aim to offer a visually immersive experience that speaks to both the spirit of nomadism and the power of design.

 DUBAI DESIGN WEEK

For Dubai Design Week, Salman Collective will be designing the booth and creating all visual content that aligns with the essence of Rahal. The concept is to create a gazebo, representing the resting place of the Rahal (nomad) after beginning his first journey outside the UAE, arriving in Bahrain. This symbolic journey of exploration and discovery is at the heart of the collaboration.
Visitors to the booth will step into the role of the Rahal, becoming modern-day nomads themselves. The gazebo will serve as a place for them to rest, try on Rahal sandals, and purchase products, symbolizing the continuation of their own personal journeys. Each step taken in a pair of Rahal sandals is an invitation to adventure—a way to embrace life’s endless possibilities.
Through careful design and thoughtful storytelling, the collaboration creates a space where the journey of both brands comes to life. The booth will be more than just a display—it will be an immersive experience that invites visitors to connect with the nomadic spirit and see themselves as part of the larger story.
