Love That Design

A legacy in light, now part of our #LTDCommunity. OLUCE S.R.L. joins Love That Design, bringing over 75 years of Italian lighting mastery to the platform. Founded in 1945 and renowned for icons like Atollo and Acrilica, the brand has shaped the global design conversation through craftsmanship, innovation, and collaborations with visionaries such as Joe Colombo and Vico Magistretti. What makes OLUCE S.R.L. remarkable is its evolution, honouring heritage while embracing technology, experimentation, and a bespoke tailoring service that allows designers to customise pieces to their vision. As the brand expands deeper into the Middle East and Africa, its ambition remains clear: to illuminate the region’s most inspiring spaces with light as considered as the architecture itself. #nowonltd #lovethatdesign #lightingdesign #italiandesign #brandspotlight #designcommunity

Craftsmanship feels different when it is built at home 🌏 As Founder Fayaz P.V puts it, “From day one, we wanted to build something that carried the spirit of the UAE.” We’re excited to welcome TCFC | The Contract Furniture Company, a UAE-born brand shaping a new standard for locally made, beautifully detailed furniture. Their work blends European precision with homegrown craft, resulting in pieces that feel intentional, enduring, and unmistakably regional. TCFC is elevating local manufacturing and their philosophy resonates across hospitality, residential, and commercial design. #joinscommunity #lovethatdesign #uaedesign #regionalcraft #designindustry

This year’s jury embodies that spirit. For the 2025 challenge, Broken Beautiful, five industry voices will evaluate how imperfection can inspire new systems, new stories, and new solutions. Their lenses span craft, technology, strategy, culture, and circular thinking: Ammar Kalo from Kalo Studios · Esra Lemmens from Esra Lemmens · Neel Shukla from Four Seasons Ramesh Gallery · Paul Newman from Case · Sofia Hagen from Sofia Hagen Design Together, they will guide the selection of works from 15 design teams, each exploring resilience, reuse, and the kind of innovation that lasts beyond opening night. Surge looks forward to unveiling the winning pieces on November 27, where creativity and compassion converge in support of global access to safe water and sanitation. #SurgeForWater #DesignDineMakeADifference #SocialImpactDesign #SustainableImpact #PurposeDrivenDesign

Miami glamour feels different when ADC & Tuneu shape its rhythm. At The Shelborne, they recast Art Deco nostalgia into a soft language of pastel stone, sculptural curves and crafted detail. The palette stays quiet, but the presence is unmistakable. As Marta Tuneu shares, “Designing The Shelborne has been an incredibly rewarding experience for myself and Aaron. Collaborating with the Proper team allowed us to reimagine this iconic landmark with sensitivity and purpose." A considered revival of a 1940s icon, designed to feel timeless again.

“Not everything must be handmade, but everything must feel human.” Stellar Works and Calico Wallpaper’s Downtown Design debut, shaped with the creative direction of Omar Al Gurg from MODU Method became a study in warmth, craft and cultural dialogue. A space where Japanese restraint, Emirati hospitality and global design sensibilities found a natural rhythm. A quiet, crafted environment that reminded visitors what design can do when intention leads the way. #events #featuredprojects #dubaiinteriors #downtowndesign #designcollaboration
