HKLIVING’s Summer ’25 Additions are arriving to the Middle East via Urban Nest
This summer, Urban Nest proudly introduces the latest Summer ‘25 collection: a bold and expressive range that captures the essence of travel, creativity, and design evolution. As the exclusive distributor for HKLIVING in the Middle East, Urban Nest offers interior designers and architects first access to this authentic and imaginative collection from the Dutch interior brand. Rooted in the art of exploration, the Additions ’25 line reflects the spontaneous beauty found in unplanned journeys. With over 80 new pieces, the collection invites designers to embrace imperfection, individuality and storytelling through form and material. Mediterranean-inspired Nomad couches, raw teak wood furniture and textured ceramics come together in a celebration of tactile living and organic beauty.
“We are incredibly proud to bring HKLIVING’s fresh and thoughtful designs to the Middle East,” says Janaika Elders, founder of Urban Nest. “This collection speaks to designers who want to create layered, story-driven spaces. It’s more than just beautiful furniture; it’s an invitation to explore and be inspired.”
The collection distinguishes itself through a sophisticated material palette, juxtaposing organic textures like linen, ceramics, glass and teak with strong geometric lines and industrial finishes to create visual tension and spatial depth. Each item feels deeply personal yet universally welcoming, ideal for creating warm, character-filled spaces that resonate with modern clients.
Urban Nest’s Al Quoz showroom will soon showcase the entire collection, offering designers the opportunity to experience the textures and craftsmanship in person. From handwoven rugs to sculptural glassware and ‘70s-inspired ceramics, every piece carries a story, making the collection a perfect match for curated residential, retail or hospitality projects.
