Dior has opened its unique pop-up store in Dubai’s Nammos Beach Club for the second time with exclusive new pieces on offer

In Jumeirah’s Nammos Beach Club Dior has opened its unique pop-up store for the second year running with original new pieces available for sale exclusively in Dubai.

The pop-up store is located inside two modules designed and created using sustainable methods and natural materials last year by Wasp, an Italian company specialising in 3D printing. They used clay, sand and organic fibres to 3D print a structure of these proportions for the very first time with a printing system developed entirely by Wasp. The company started thinking big in 2015 when Wasp first came up with a 12-metre tall 3D printer with an aim to build houses, evolving it to the Crane Wasp by 2018 and technology required for something such as the Dior pop-up store modules.

Visitors have until May 15 next year to check out the new Dior pop-up store, which is well worth experiencing for its value as a fascinating architectural installation alone.
