Join us as we explore our top picks for transforming your office into an inspiring and dynamic environment that incorporates both work and play. 

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.

Taj BNW

Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) debuted Taj Wellington Mews on the picturesque Al Marjan Island, Ras Al-Khaimah in partnership with BNW Developments. The property witnessed 97 of its units reserved within the first 24 hours of its launch, making it among the UAE’s fastest-selling luxury projects to date.

The grand unveiling night at the World Trade Center, Dubai, was a celebration of heritage, design, and disruption. Hosted by Kris Fade, star of Dubai Bling, celebrated media personality, and beloved RJ, the evening was brimming with energy, entertainment, and meaningful moments. With insights into the project shared in an atmosphere of refined elegance, the event was elevated by a special performance from celebrated comedian Kenny Sebastian. The gathering also welcomed top industry experts from the UAE real estate landscape and over 60 elite broker agencies, further underscoring the significance of the occasion. The highlight of the evening was the ceremonial reveal by Mr. Ankur Aggarwal, Chairman and Founder of BNW Developments, and Dr. Vivek Anand Oberoi, Managing Director and Co-founder, lifting the drapes on a visionary partnership between Taj and BNW.

“This collaboration with Taj is the architectural articulation of BNW’s long-term vision. We are not in the business of building structures but in the pursuit of crafting legacies. Taj Wellington Mews stands as the first of many milestones that will redefine how luxury is experienced, owned, and remembered in the UAE. Partnering with a name as storied as Taj allows us to merge generational heritage with contemporary precision an alliance rooted in purpose, not just prestige,” shared Mr. Ankur Aggarwal, Chairman and Founder of BNW Developments.

Dr. Oberoi echoed, “Ras Al Khaimah is rapidly emerging as the nucleus of forward-thinking luxury and global investment appeal. With Taj Wellington Mews, we are curating an experience that embodies the very essence of timeless hospitality. This partnership with Taj allows us to infuse BNW’s design-forward philosophy with a legacy of Indian warmth and global distinction. As co-founders, our commitment is clear: to pioneer developments that are not only architecturally striking but also culturally resonant, emotionally enriching, and globally relevant.”

Within the first 24 hours of its launch, Taj Wellington Mews recorded an unprecedented 97 unit reservations, a feat not only for BNW Developments, but one that now stands among the UAE’s fastest-selling luxury projects to date. This momentum underscores the project’s significance as the first of many milestone ventures led by BNW Developments.

The development comprises a total of 342 ultra-luxury units, including 185 studio apartments, 117 one-bedroom apartments, 26 two-bedroom apartments, 8 three-bedroom apartments, and 6 retail units.

A vision carved in steel, stone, and legacy, Taj Wellington Mews encapsulates an unconventional design philosophy. The project features two interconnected towers elegantly curved over a circular podium, creating a skyline-defining silhouette on Al Marjan Island. Distinctive balconies, curated landscaping, and a harmonious blend of structure and subtlety embody Taj’s ethos of thoughtful luxury and BNW’s penchant for cutting-edge design.

A collective vision for refined living, set along the picturesque shoreline, Taj Wellington Mews forms part of a growing collection of ultra-luxury residences by the bay, a shared vision between two pioneers committed to redefining lifestyle experiences in the UAE.

A thriving investment hotspot, Ras Al Khaimah has rapidly emerged as one of the fastest-growing regions in the UAE. With global names like Wynn Resorts making their debut on Al Marjan Island, the area has seen a significant rise in demand, with projected rental yields reaching upwards of 8-14%, making it a lucrative choice for discerning investors.

As BNW Developments continues to push boundaries in luxury real estate, this historic collaboration with IHCL’s Taj marks the beginning of a transformative era, where curated lifestyles, heritage values, and architectural finesse converge. Taj Wellington Mews is not just a residence; it is a living testament to what happens when legacy meets innovation, and when a launch becomes a legacy in itself.

We believe architecture should inspire and engage with its surroundings and its people — and this event embodies that belief.”

In the pursuit to support the local music community, Richmind is giving the opportunity to up-and-coming artists across the UAE, including singers, DJs, rappers, and musicians to participate in a competition for a chance to get selected as the opening act for Craig David’s Dubai performance. Enthusiasts have to submit a 60-second demo and share your story for a chance to not only win a performance slot on stage, warming up for Craig David at the launch event but also one-on-one mentoring  experience with Craig David, professional studio time to develop their music and a whopping AED 30,000 cash prize to support their creative journey.

Craig David will perform to an exclusive audience at Richmind’s official project launch on 25th April at the CocoCola Arena from 5pm.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, Richmind’s debut development is poised to become an architectural landmark.
