1. Truffle Pouf by NaughtOne – A Playful Pouf with a Charming Form

The Truffle pouf brings a playful energy wherever it pops up. Intentionally organic in form, its curvaceous profile charms from all sides, while the seamless top offers a smooth, durable sit. 

Truffle’s clever one-piece upholstery creates a seamless waterfall edge that accentuates the pouf’s organic form, revealing curves on curves with the play of light, and creates surprising contrasts along the seams.

 2. Facet Cabinet by HAY – Combining visual appeal with distinct functionality

Designed by Stefan Scholten and named after faceted surfaces, the Facet Cabinet by HAY is a versatile, multifunctional storage solution that is easy to move around. It is post-consumer recycled ABS plastic made up of three compounds: acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene that is non-toxic, fully recyclable, durable and safe to use. It features a revolving integrated door and can come on wheels, making the Facet Cabinet versatile and playful.

3. Cyclade Table by Herman Miller – Sculpted Form, playful nature    

Each of the three set coffee tables in the Cyclade family is distinctive in their varied forms, with smooth organic curves, sculptural forms, playful nature and intriguing negative space that can stand on their own or be nested together.

Embrace the perfect fusion of function and beauty with these nesting tables and invite endless play and flexibility with their varying heights, openings, and purpose.

 Arrange and rearrange, based on the needs of a particular space to elevate your workplace with organic modern design inspiration.

4. Percy by NaughtOne – A Bold, Versatile Lounge Chair  

Inspired by the continuous, curving frames of mid-century waiting room chairs, the practical yet playful Percy lounge chair is perfect for office lounge seating.

Bold design, plush cushioned upholstery comfort, and customizable finishes for any workspace, the Percy lounge chair is abundant in creativity, with a choice of 16 colours and over 100 upholstery options. With frames that can be specified to a wide range of potential combinations and adaptable designs. Percy is ideal for a plethora of modern spaces in offices, universities and hospitality environments.

5. Nerd Chair/Bar Stool by Muuto – A playfully contemporary expression  

For use as a bar stool or desk chair, Nerd brings new perspectives to Scandinavian design by combining the traditional material of wood with a simple yet eccentric design language. The seamless integration of its back and seat makes for a characterful detail alongside the curved edges of its seat.

Conclusion

Transforming your workplace, empowering people to foster a sense of community while incorporating playful elements into your office environment is not merely about aesthetics; it’s about fostering an atmosphere that encourages creativity, collaboration, and employee wellbeing. At MillerKnoll, we believe that your office should be a place where work and play coexist harmoniously. By choosing pieces like the Truffle Pouf, Cyclade Table, or the Nerd Chair, you’re not just investing in furniture; you’re investing in a culture that values innovation, productivity and connection.

Deyaar builds on its 2026 handover momentum with 711 new homes at Tria in Dubai Silicon Oasis

Published

on

Deyaar Development PJSC (Deyaar), a DFM-listed integrated real estate company and one of Dubai’s leading developers, has announced the handover of Tria, a landmark residential development that brings a new scale of elevated living to Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO). Rising prominently above its surroundings, the development comprises 711 residences and six retail units, distinguished by a striking three-wing architectural form designed to create three unique view corridors, ensuring residents enjoy prime outlooks across the Dubai skyline, Dubai Silicon Oasis and the surrounding parklands.

The handover lifts Deyaar’s deliveries in 2026 to more than 2,100 units, following the completion of 1,436 units across Regalia, Jannat and Talia Residences earlier in the first half. Built with families in mind, Tria pairs its homes with podium and rooftop amenities that include swimming pools, landscaped gardens, children’s areas, fitness and wellness facilities, sports courts, social spaces, and outdoor dining and entertainment areas.

Saeed Mohammed Al Qatami, CEO of Deyaar, said: “Earlier this year we welcomed owners to three of our projects across Dubai. Today, Tria adds another 711 homes to that momentum. It was conceived as a modern urban sanctuary, and seeing it come to life in the heart of Dubai Silicon Oasis is a proud moment for Deyaar. We thank our owners and investors for their trust, and our partners, contractors, government stakeholders and team for making it possible.”

With more than two decades of experience across residential, commercial and hospitality developments, Deyaar continues to diversify its portfolio and build on its momentum this year. Tria reflects a clear vision: creating vibrant communities where thoughtful design, wellbeing and lasting value shape the way Dubai lives.

As Deyaar looks ahead, its focus remains on scaling a balanced pipeline of projects, strengthening its position as one of Dubai’s most dynamic developers and contributing to the emirate’s long-term urban growth.

Burjeel Holdings Launches Preventive Cardiac Campaign Across Its UAE Hospital Network for World Heart Day

Published

on

Burjeel Holdings launched “The Cardiograms of Love”, a World Heart Day campaign that transformed everyday expressions of affection into cardiogram-inspired visuals, encouraging people across the UAE to turn care for their loved ones into a proactive step towards heart health.

The campaign was activated across five Burjeel Holdings facilities in the UAE, including Burjeel Hospital, Burjeel Day Surgery Center, and Burjeel Medical Center in Abu Dhabi, as well as Burjeel Specialty Hospital in Sharjah and Burjeel Royal Hospital in Al Ain.

Built around a simple human insight, the campaign connected the words people use to express care for those closest to them with the rhythm of a heartbeat. Familiar messages such as “You mean the world to me” and “Stay healthy for me” were transformed into six distinct cardiogram illustrations, linking emotional expressions of love with the importance of preventive cardiac care.

Each artwork represented a different personal relationship, including parent, partner, child, sibling and friend, and carried a unified call to action: “Love someone. Get their heart checked.”

Rather than relying on a single campaign launch, “The Cardiograms of Love” was rolled out across Burjeel Holdings’ UAE network from 27 to 29 September, with participating facilities premiering different pairs of visuals before the wider network amplified and re-shared the remaining creatives. This created a coordinated, rolling campaign across the three-day period.

Ahead of the public rollout, clinicians and administrative teams across the participating Burjeel facilities were briefed on the campaign and encouraged to share the visuals with people in their personal networks. The internal activation was supported by direct WhatsApp outreach to patients, while social media links connected audiences directly to cardiac screening booking channels.

The campaign also invited members of the public to create their own personalised cardiogram messages using a simple digital prompt and share them with someone they loved. This extended the campaign beyond traditional healthcare communication, encouraging people to pass the message directly between family members and friends.

Through the campaign, Burjeel Holdings highlighted the importance of regular cardiac assessments as part of preventive healthcare, particularly for people with recognised risk factors, including older adults and individuals with a family history of cardiovascular conditions.

SHEIN Opens the Doors to Fall/Winter 2026 with ‘The SHEIN Hotel’ at Al Habtoor Palace

Published

on

SHEIN has unveiled its Fall/Winter 2026 collection in spectacular fashion by transforming Al Habtoor Palace Dubai into The SHEIN Hotel: Behind Every Door, an immersive fashion destination where more than 30 leading Middle Eastern fashion icons, regional tastemakers and industry insiders gathered to experience the brand’s latest seasonal showcase.

Blending fashion with immersive storytelling, the event took guests beyond the traditional runway and into The SHEIN Hotel, a boutique hotel-inspired experience created to bring the FW26 collection to life. Upon arrival, guests “checked in” and received collectible room keys, inviting them to unlock five distinct fashion worlds, each representing a different mood and expression of personal style.

The experience culminated on the runway, where the five fashion directions came to life through Power Dressing, Soft Glam, Retro Remix, Regal Maximalism and Modest Elegance. Each was anchored by a distinctive showcase look, from dramatic tailoring and pastel tulle to flowing capes, sculptural silhouettes and crystal embellishments, before all five styles came together for the finale.

And the experience extends beyond the runway. Through SHEIN’s “See Now, Buy Now” approach, consumers can discover and shop the styles presented in Dubai through the SHEIN App and website. By searching Room26 on the SHEIN App, shoppers can explore curated new arrivals spanning all five FW26 fashion directions.

At the heart of FW26 is the idea that women dress differently depending on how they feel, where they are and what the moment calls for. “The Key to Every Vibe” celebrates this freedom, with styles designed for every mood, from confident and bold to soft, playful, glamorous or understated. Through five distinct fashion directions, the collection gives women more ways to express their personal style and choose the look that feels right for them.

Power Dressing leads with oversized blazers, sharp tailoring and structured outerwear that create a confident and purposeful look. Strong silhouettes make it a collection for moments when women want to make their presence felt.

Soft Glam takes a gentler approach, using silk, lace, delicate knits and fluid silhouettes to combine comfort with femininity. The result is polished but relaxed, designed to move easily between different occasions.

Retro Remix looks to the past for inspiration, bringing plaid, denim, collegiate knits and vintage details into a contemporary wardrobe. Familiar styles are reinterpreted for a playful approach to everyday dressing.

For women looking to make a stronger statement, Regal Maximalism brings together crystals, metallic textures and rich detailing. Bold and expressive, the collection is designed for occasions when the outfit itself becomes part of the celebration.

Modest Elegance completes the five directions with flowing maxi silhouettes, refined tailoring and graceful layering. Its elegant proportions offer a contemporary approach to modest fashion while maintaining a sense of poise and confidence.

The five fashion worlds bring “The Key to Every Vibe” to life, giving women the freedom to move between different expressions of themselves and find a look that reflects the mood, moment or occasion.
