ID MOST WANTED: Falaj Collection by Aljoud Lootah Design

Inspired by the UAE’s traditional falaj irrigation system, the Falaj Collection reinterprets a centuries-old symbol of life and connection into a contemporary design narrative. The falaj is an ingenious network of channels that distributed water from springs or underground aquifers, not only sustaining agricultural lands but also serving as a lifeline for communities, fostering unity and resilience. This profound legacy and impact on the UAE shaped the essence of the collection, which pays homage to the fluidity, organic forms and cultural significance of the falaj. Featuring elegantly crafted sofas and tables, the collection captures the natural curves and branching flows of the water channels, translating them into pieces that are both functional and deeply evocative. The colour palette draws directly from the UAE’s verdant oases – soft greens, earthy browns and warm neutral tones – evoking the landscapes that thrived along the falaj streams. The interplay of textures and materials mirrors the seamless blending of nature and human ingenuity that defined the irrigation system, while the shapes and separations in the designs reflect the harmonious reconnections of flowing water.
