During Copenhagen Fashion Week, The David Collection presents a special edition of David’s Bazar. This pop-up exhibition and accompanying talk bring together Jordanian-Palestinian designer Sylwia Nazzal (Nazzal Studio) and multidisciplinary artist Jad Mag, whose practices intersect through materiality, heritage, and contemporary expression.
Al-Najah is Nazzal Studio’s latest collection and a conceptual exploration of Bedouin ways of life. Using natural materials, craftsmanship, and tactile processes, the collection transforms essential elements of Bedouin life — rope, fire, stars, and community — into modern, sensorial forms.
The exhibition invites visitors to step away from urban acceleration and reconnect with simplicity, craftsmanship, and presence. It honours Bedouin cultural heritage as a living source of inspiration rather than a nostalgic reference.
The exhibition is curated by Khersikollektive.
About Sylwia Nazzal

About Jad Mag
Jad Mag is a 26-year-old Jordanian-Filipino artist based in Amman. Self-taught and working full time with his practice, his process is built entirely from the ground up. He produces his own charcoal and ink, works with indigo blue and natural latex, and embeds sand from Wadi Rum directly into his works. Even the surfaces themselves are constructed by hand, allowing the materials to carry their own history, weight, and sense of place. His contribution to the exhibition reflects on survival instincts that surface when the noise of the city and the speed of contemporary life are stripped away.
The talk will be held in English.
