Mesh Museum with unique art pieces debuts in UAE

Inspired by the idea of showcasing the poetic potential of engineered materials, connecting artists to industry to transform their unique pieces to meet the industry need, we are debuting the UAE’s first “Mesh Museum” under the theme, “Where Mesh Becomes Art,” said S. Mohammad Karvanian, General Manager, Mesh Museum and YKM Group on the sidelines of the event held at Fairmont The Palm, Dubai.

“With the debut event in Dubai under the theme of ‘Where Mesh Becomes Art,’ we are showcasing the unique art pieces which are transforming industrial-grade woven metal meshes into artwork and architectural design elements,” he said.

Every single piece at the event demonstrated precision manufacturing can coexist with artistic expression and contemporary design narratives.

The collection also drew inspiration from nature, movement, resilience, and cultural symbolism, which was reflected in several artworks such as Breath of Nature, Wild Elegance, Museum of the Future and Three Point Seven.

“Mesh Museum is our way of redefining how people perceive industrial mesh. It is no longer just a functional material, it is a design language. Through this experience, we are showcasing how decades of engineering expertise can evolve into artistic expression, where mesh becomes art,” said Karvanian.

Mesh Museum draws inspiration from YKM’s four decades of global manufacturing expertise and its advanced R&D (research and development) capabilities, showcasing how innovation was at the heart of every piece displayed throughout the evening. Each installation was backed by advanced weaving techniques, material experimentation, surface treatments, and precision engineering, developed through Mesh Museum’s in-house R&D and laboratory testing facilities.

He further said that “the initiative demonstrated how precision manufacturing can coexist with artistic expression and contemporary design narratives. Unlike traditional design showcases that focus on finished products, the Mesh Museum was conceived as a walk-through gallery.”

Guests were captivated by the installations as the event took them on a multi-sensory experience through curated mesh artwork, framed mesh prints, partition screens, furniture, and architectural installations.

The museum encouraged visitors to observe light play, touch textures, and perceive depth and movement created by layered mesh compositions.
