THE LOFT ME X OUAC
2017

The Loft ME collaborated with Once Upon a Chair, a vintage furniture store, for an art exhibit at Athr Gallery. This exhibit is a dedication to Jeddah’s glory in the early 1970s, and a warmly personal ode to Nouf & Nada Hakeem’s grandfather, Bahaauddin Khashogji; the founder of Medina’s Bahaauddin Hotels.

“From Art Direction, to prop allocation, to every little minute set-up detail, we recreated this hotel as our own version of a present day time-capsule.” THE LOFT ME X OUAC

A recreation of the hotel began with the simple idea of wanting to revive Jeddah in its glorious late 60s, early 70s era, and the idea manifested into the re-actualization of Medina’s one and only Bahaauddin Hotel.

The exhibit is still ongoing at ATHR Gallery and is part of ATHR fifth edition of Young Saudi Artist, PULSE.
