positive encounters is a comprehensive monograph of work by the design collective bahraini—danish. The book presents as an overview of work produced between 2016-2022 narrated via technical illustrations, essayistic photography as well as archival material. It is an epistolary novel in some sense too — in media res — hence left empty of a page numbered ‘1’.

bahraini—danish

was established in Bahrain in 2016 by Batool Alshaikh, Maitham Almubarak and Christian Vennerstrøm Jensen. Their work has been presented across the Middle East and Europe and is named after the many historical encounters between Bahrain and Denmark. The countries have exchanged knowledge within areas such as archaeology, architecture, dairy production and now, also furniture design.
