We recently had a conversation with Daria Zolotova about the upcoming event, Artdom in Riyadh. What stood out most was her passion for design as a form of cultural dialogue.

For her, ARTDOM Riyadh is not only about presenting interiors, collectible furniture, or art — it’s about fostering conversations between global design traditions and Middle Eastern culture.

Happening on November 11–12, 2025, the congress will showcase a curated blend of artisanal craftsmanship, product design, and contemporary art. Ambassadors such as Giulio Cappellini, Carlo Colombo, and Rossana Orlandi will bring their expertise to the stage, reflecting ARTDOM’s commitment to merging heritage with modernity.

Daria’s background in Cultural Studies and Design has shaped her nuanced approach. She describes her personal philosophy as one of “timeless harmony”, influenced equally by Italian architecture, Haussmann-era Paris, and the boldness of Dubai. “ARTDOM is a cultural institution, not just an exhibition,” she explained to us. “It is about uniting knowledge, heritage, and innovation to create lasting impact.”

For designers, architects, and creative professionals, ARTDOM Riyadh offers more than inspiration. It is an event that will set new standards, positioning Riyadh as a global design hub while offering Middle Eastern designers the opportunity to collaborate and showcase their talent on an international stage.
