For those who love adding personality to their homes with one-of-a-kind pieces, Tangerrine Casa, a UAE-born online homeware brand offers a hand curated selection of vintage and preloved homeware items that are cool, quirky and unique. Featuring character-filled pieces, the small business currently delivers products across Dubai and offers next-day delivery (if ordered before 12pm).

A women-led brand, Tangerrine Casa was founded by Amy Armitage, a freelance stylist, who launched the brand in February 2025. Amy had a passion for hunting for vintage pieces during her travels but after struggling to find cool preloved homeware pieces locally in Dubai, she decided to fill the gap and elevate the preloved market in the region by bringing a carefully curated edit of unique vintage and preloved homeware, that was also easily accessible and affordable.

The curation features everything from abstract fruit bowls and chrome plated pieces to intricate glass dishes, fun porcelain plates and bowls of Italian and Portuguese design, egg cups, vases, toast racks, trinket trays, candle holders, and more, offering something fun, bold and rare for every space.

Rooted in sustainability and circular living, the brand promotes mindful consumption while also encouraging individuality in home styling, inviting the community to embrace preloved pieces to create spaces that feel more personal, purposeful, and full of character.

“I’ve always loved hunting for unique preloved pieces during my travels that I can bring back to my home in Dubai. But I didn’t feel like there were many places here locally with a cool preloved homeware curation that was unique, easily accessible and affordable, so I decided to create one. I’m passionate about keeping things in circulation for as long as possible and I believe more people would shop preloved if the stigma was removed and items looked more aspirational. I want to bring joy to homes in a more sustainable way and that’s exactly what Tangerrine Casa is all about.”, comments Amy Armitage, founder of Tangerrine Casa.

In addition, Tangerrine Casa connects with their community through its signature hosting concept ‘Tangerrine Table’. Hosted by Amy and her husband Ed, this concept creates a space to connect, share stories across cultures, explore different cuisines and celebrate the joy of gathering around a table.

A go-to destination for unique preloved homeware pieces, Tangerine Casa invites the community to discover the charm of objects that have already lived and see how cool shopping preloved can be.

MERED, the award-winning developer, has announced that main piling operations are now progressing at Riviera Residences, a waterfront residential tower in Abu Dhabi, Al Reem Island. The milestone follows the completion of 60% of enabling works, including guide walls, shoring, contiguous piling, and ground improvement across both zones, as well as deep foundation works. The progress underscores the resilience of Abu Dhabi’s premium residential market and the strength of the emirate’s off-plan delivery.

Riviera Residences is one of the capital’s most distinctive waterfront addresses, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron and located within Abu Dhabi Global Market. Conceived as a resort-style residence, the development will offer more than 400 apartments and 11 exclusive villas, including sky villas, ocean villas, and a penthouse, set within landscaped gardens and a vibrant waterfront promenade with cafés, boutique retail, and dining.

Construction is ongoing without interruption amid a period of change across the wider region. The site team has stayed on schedule through proactive planning and close collaboration between the contractor (NSCC) and the consultant team (DAR ALHANDASAH). The project has recorded more than 85,000 safe man-hours to date with no lost-time incidents, a reflection of the safety culture the team has built and maintained throughout.

Michael Belton, CEO of MERED, said: “This milestone is a direct result of the quality of the teams we have on the ground, but it is also a testament to the resilience of the UAE’s real estate sector. Abu Dhabi in particular continues to attract serious, long-term investment. This project was always conceived as something that could stand the test of time. That ambition has not changed, and neither has our commitment to delivering it.”

The project’s progress comes at a time when Abu Dhabi is further strengthening its investment environment in line with Abu Dhabi Vision 2030 and its broader focus on sustainable urban growth, transparency, and long-term economic development. New measures introduced have strengthened Abu Dhabi’s real estate regulatory ecosystem, introducing integrated controls, improving operational efficiency, and ensuring transparency across the market. Together, these reinforce investor confidence and the emirate’s position as a stable, well-regulated residential market.

Riviera Residences is supported by a group of highly regarded delivery and design partners whose combined expertise strengthens every stage of the development. Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron; one of the region’s most experienced ground engineering and enabling works specialists, NSCC International Ltd.; internationally recognised engineering consultants  DAR ALHANDASAH, and Paris-based landscape consultants Michel Desvigne Paysagiste (MDP), are reinforcing MERED’s focus on long-term placemaking.

As construction moves forward, all stakeholders remain committed to delivering a high-quality development that contributes to the emirate’s vision for modern, sustainable urban living.
