NGC Nafees, a Dubai-based distributor of walls, floors, and fabrics, and Tapetex, a Dutch high-end wallpaper manufacturer, in media partnership with Identity magazine, hosted a unique event for leading regional designers, specializing in the hospitality and residential sectors.
Titled “Behind the scenes: A luxury experience at The Royal Atlantis,” this exclusive gathering offered a rare opportunity to explore behind the scenes of one of the world’s most luxurious resorts.
Opened in February 2023, The G.A Group were responsible for all aspects of Atlantis The Royal ‘s interior design. The G.A Group first travelled to Dubai in 2014, after being invited to take part in a design competition for the hotel’s new concept.
For Atlantis Tapetex developed custom coloured linen and supplied 60.000 linear meters of linen wallcovering for the guestrooms and hallways. During the visit, the designers also had the chance to see first-hand some of the custom-colored linen wallcoverings by Tapetex.
A select group of designers and thought leaders shared their vision for luxury design in 2024, highlighting some of the emerging trends in high-end interiors.
Stay tuned for their valuable insights.
