A Touch of Luxury

Vincent Van Duysen’s collection for Perennials and Sutherland

Perennials and Sutherland has unveiled a sweeping collaboration with Belgian architect and designer Vincent Van Duysen. The Fall 2025 launch introduces a comprehensive offering of outdoor furniture, high-performance fabrics, rugs and most notably, Van Duysen’s first-ever collection of wallcoverings.

The collaboration marks a milestone for the designer, whose minimalist, textural approach has influenced iconic brands worldwide. “This was my very first time exploring wallcoverings, so I approached it as an opportunity to translate both my architectural language and personal sensibility into something expansive and textural,” explains Van Duysen. 

The Perennials by Vincent Van Duysen wallcovering collection debuts with six distinct designs: Stitchery, Grooves, Tableau, Tierceron, Filament and Ashlar. Each one explores dimension, rhythm and materiality.

Building on the success of his 2021 Perennials collection, Van Duysen introduces six new fabric qualities: Parquet, Weathered Stripe, Ardennes, Waffle, Brickwork and Antwerp. Each reflects the designer’s understated aesthetic through textures such as small-scale herringbone, chequerboard chenille and linear masonry-inspired patterns. 

The textile story also extends to the floor with four new rug designs: Passer, Lignes, Brickwork and Waffle. Each showcases Van Duysen’s passion for tactile structure – whether through chequerboard tufting, stacked-brick effects or flatwoven rope inlays. The rugs balance performance with artisanal craft, grounding interiors with depth and quiet elegance.

Sutherland’s beloved Franck collection, first launched in 2018, is reinterpreted this season as Franck Aluminum. While retaining the original silhouettes, the update introduces powder-coated aluminium frames and sling seating. The result is a series of lightweight yet durable pieces, including dining and lounge chairs, a three-seat sofa, adjustable chaise and versatile tables topped with either aluminium slats or Belgian Bluestone. “It appears lighter, softer and firmly anchored in the modernist universe that is so dear to me,” Van Duysen explains. “The materials and proportions have been reconsidered to express a sense of quiet sophistication, while maintaining the timeless elegance of the original spirit.”

Deltalis dining table by Roche Bobois 

Designed by Maurizio Manzoni, Deltalis is a stunning fixed oval dining table featuring a top in ceramic or glass composite. The crossbeam is made of aluminium and the base is formulated in steel with an epoxy lacquer finish that can be customised in various colours. Deltalis is offered in two dimensions.

Inde Rose by Jaipur Rugs 

Inde Rose, available at Jaipur Rugs, channels art, architecture, design and nature into larger-than-life art objects that harmonise, and in doing so creates relationships between spaces, bodies and the experience of beauty and luxury. Hand-knotted to perfection using the finest silk, the collection takes the historic tradition of coordinated décor elements to the next level with its coordinated pairs of rugs. Each pair has one graphic-heavy piece and a visually lighter one that subtly mirrors its palette and patterns.

Vela door by Oikos

The new entrance architecture door by Oikos, Vela is a sliding security door that combines aesthetics, performance and functionality. Innovative in its concept as a sliding door for main entrances, it stands out for its absence of traditional locks and keys. Opening and closing are managed through four methods: smartphone, PIN code, Oikos Card or fingerprint reader. The latter can be integrated into the door’s handle or, for a cleaner design, placed on an adjacent wall or in another room, up to eight metres away from the door. Vela is unveiled with a new range of porcelain stoneware finishes that each combine the elegance of metallic effects with the urban character of concrete. From neutral and sophisticated tones to deep and intense shades, each nuance tells a unique material story. 

The door also boasts high-performance standards, validated by the rigorous tests to which the company subjects all its product lines. Vela offers Class 4 burglary resistance, 42 dB acoustic insulation and air-water-wind tightness ratings of 3-7A-C5 – among the highest ever achieved. Lastly, it features thermal insulation with a Ud value of 1.3 W/m²K.

Vela presents itself as a true platform for creating entrance architectures that have never been seen before. Its flexible dimensions allow for custom solutions, making each entrance unique and special; Vela is available in a range of sizes, from a minimum of 900 x 2100 mm to a maximum of 3750 x 5000 mm.

Bold coffee table by Ethimo

The original Bold coffee table has been reinterpreted in different sizes and intense and bright colours, which highlight the sculptural spirit and high quality craftsmanship. The new Boldini tables are suitable for furnishing outdoor lounge areas, providing the opportunity to create different arrangements and original combinations alongside the many other lounge items produced by Ethimo. The tabletops, offered in three ‘soft’ shapes, are created in Rosso Francia or Verde Guatemala marble or sand-coloured travertine, available in a bright glossy finish that accentuates the beauty and natural veining in the materials. The glazed ceramic legs echo the colours of the tabletops and their shiny effect, adding dynamism and cohesion to the overall design.

Nina Takesh Furniture

Renowned interior designer and entrepreneur Nina Takesh has unveiled her highly anticipated debut collection: Nina Takesh Furniture. Featuring 14 meticulously crafted pieces, the collection captures Nina’s elevated design ethos, blending modern sophistication with timeless appeal. From the graceful curves of chairs and stools to the bold elegance of every bed, sofa, console, bench and coffee table, each item reflects a fresh interpretation of luxury – one rooted in comfort, craftsmanship and an enduring sense of style.

At the heart of the collection lies a reverence for mid-century French design, reimagined through a modern lens. Stacked, rounded silhouettes define the line, giving each piece a soft yet confident presence. The Rêverie sofa makes a striking statement with its modular design and inviting plushness, while the Époque chair brings a sculptural touch with its curved embrace, seamlessly balancing softness and structure. The Mélange credenza is an artful storage piece, featuring a curved façade and striking marble accents, while the Étoile bed exudes a quiet opulence, its upholstered headboard enveloping the bedroom in serene comfort.

Upholstered in sumptuous luxury textiles by Misia Paris, the pieces are as tactile as they are elegant. Rich textures and tailored forms come together to create a visual and sensory experience that invites touch and celebrates materiality. “This collection is a true reflection of my design journey, my love for architecture, and my deep appreciation for artistry in furniture-making,” said Takesh. “Every piece is thoughtfully created to bring beauty, function and a sense of sumptuous comfort into the home. I wanted to design furniture that not only complements a space but transforms it.”

Each piece is handcrafted in Los Angeles, highlighting Nina’s commitment to local artistry and customisation. Clients are invited to select from a curated range of premium materials or use COM (Customer’s Own Material), allowing for a highly personalised approach to each design.

Poltrona Frau x Fornasetti

The Isidoro trunk, which serves as an exquisite drinks cabinet and was originally designed by Jean-Marie Massaud in 2007, exemplifies the top-end craftsmanship and Italian creativity inherent in both Poltrona Frau and Fornasetti: the elegant finishes are in Walnut-stained wood, while the interior and exterior components are covered in precious Pelle Frau ColorSphere Impact Less leather printed with UItime Notizie decorative motive, one of the most iconic patterns in the Fornasetti archive. Created in 1950 by Piero Fornasetti as a print design for a silk fabric, in 2003 UItime Notizie was reissued and modified by his son Barnaba for the kitchen furnishings in Casa Fornasetti, the historic family residence in Milan. A kaleidoscope of butterflies flutters over a backdrop of multilingual news clippings. The observer is invited to visualise actively and imaginatively: the leather resembles paper and, originally, this paper was designed to be printed on a fabric. The message concealed in this decoration, engraved on the 1919 tray and on the plaque applied to the Isidoro trunk-bar, is perfectly summed up by Barnaba Fornasetti: “Don’t dwell on the news, because the news is fleeting.” With shelves, drawers and bottle racks, the Isidoro drinks cabinet stands 117cm (46 inches) high and tastefully mixes aesthetics and functionality, re-editing itself into a furnishing item with a vibrant visual impact and a newfound modernity.

TOTO NEOREST WX 

The TOTO NEOREST WX has a sleek, corner-free form that integrates the WASHLET system seamlessly within a pristine white ceramic body, reflecting precision craftsmanship and subtle elegance. Features such as EWATER+ cleaning, PREMIST, automatic flush and personalised comfort settings deliver effortless hygiene and convenience.

This feature is presented by Al-Futtaim Engineering, demonstrating the company’s commitment to bringing world-class design and innovation to the UAE. Customers can explore TOTO products first-hand at showrooms in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Kahrs Oak Herringbone by Nordic Homework 

Leila Khalil Interior Design

Herringbone-patterned floors remain a favourite among designers for their elegant geometry and timeless appeal. They introduce movement and texture to interiors without overwhelming a space, striking a balance that feels both classic and contemporary.

Unmistakably Scandinavian, Kährs’ Oak Herringbone AB in Crème embodies this sentiment. In a Business Bay penthouse by Leila Khalil Design, its pale, creamy tones anchor airy, light-filled rooms, while in a Nikki Beach residence by SETE Interiors, it softens a dark interior and balances a bold red kitchen island. The delicate knots and gentle colour variations give each board a natural, lived-in warmth, while the precise herringbone layout adds quiet sophistication.

Supplied and installed by Nordic Homeworx, Dubai’s go-to experts on Swedish wood flooring for the past 20 years, the floor reflects a careful attention to craft under the guidance of Swedish native Pauline Madani. Here, herringbone is more than a pattern; it’s a foundation for spaces that feel both luxurious and welcoming.
