Interiors UAE 2011 Announces Call for Entries to Product Innovation Awards

Abu Dhabi, UAE; 2 April 2011 - Interiors UAE 2011, the region’s premier trade gathering for luxury, design led products and services, has announced the brand new Product Innovation Awards. Designed to recognise outstanding innovation in product design for the luxury hotel industry, the Product Innovation Awards welcome entries from companies operating within the design and development of hotels, from smaller, design-led companies to the larger, more established manufacturers. The product must have been launched in to the MENA region between May 2010 and 8 April 2011, which is also the deadline for submission of entries. Multiple entries are permitted but are limited to three entries per company. All entries will be judged by a panel of leading design experts and will be showcased at Interiors UAE 2011 on 9 – 11 May at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC). “The awards programme provides an invaluable opportunity for companies to promote brand new products to key decision makers with serious buying power who have always made it a point to visit our show each year,” said Tony Crinion, Event Director, UBM Built Environment, organisers of Abu Dhabi’s only interior design show. Last year, 44% of visitors were architects, interior designers or property developers giving exhibitors access to a significant number of key specifiers and designers working on major projects across the Middle East. Interiors UAE 2011 is the only interiors trade event held in Abu Dhabi, offering an exclusive fusion of modern and traditional influences through a unique gathering of international and regional suppliers, manufacturers and interior designers. This leading event offers educational and inspirational content through the three day seminar programme featuring industry trend forecasts and best practices. The Student Design Challenge is also being conducted to discover the region’s next generation of interior designers.

naughtone introduce the logan table

We are proud to announce our latest product, the logan table. The logan table shares a similar ethos to our ped base table: ‘a simple thing done very well’. What makes logan special/stand out, though, is that it accommodates much larger surfaces, and has useful tilt and height adjusters on each leg - making sure the table is always rock steady, even if the floor isn’t. Shown right is the logan table 1600x800 with oak veneer top. The logan range has a wide variety of rectangular sizes as well as useful large circular sizes.

Kirsty Whyte, Michael Sodeau and Clåesson Koivisto Rune.

New to the collection is PLC Lounge (pictured above). A marriage of simplicity and
refinement, PLC Lounge has been created by celebrated designers PearsonLloyd. Its low seat
and oversized backrest differentiate it in style from the PLC Dining chair (launched in 2010)
and allow it to work effortlessly in either residential or commercial spaces.

Brand new Sticking Sticks (pictured above) by Studio KG will feature throughout the
space to create a striking environment. Sticking Sticks is a modular partition system, currently being developed by Modus, consisting of a kit of different length tubes wrapped
in strips of Velcro. The productsflexibility allows the tubes to connect through the
use of Velcro making it quick and easy to create room divisions.

Sticking Sticks product is designed in collaboration with Velcro and will pre launch in
Milan with Modus.

INTRODUCING THE HÅG CAPISCO PULS CHAIR

PROFESSIONAL PLAYFULNESS FOR THE MODERN OFFICE SPACE

Launching in March 2011, the HÅG Capisco Puls is the latest in contemporary office seating from Norwegian seating specialists HÅG. Equally suited to the sophisticated professional and the modern trendsetter, the HÅG Capisco Puls spans all tastes and styles, creatively combining work and play. In 1984, HÅG introduced the iconic HÅG Capisco chair and set the standard for the future of office seating. Co-designed with leading furniture designer and ergonomics expert Peter Opsvik, the HÅG Capisco was inspired by the dynamic posture of a rider and features an unusual saddle-style seat. New for 2011, the HÅG Capisco Puls is a modern update from the Capisco family, sitting at the forefront of the next generation of working chairs. Jo-Are Bjerke, Managing Director of HÅG UK comments on the unique design of the new model: “The success of the HÅG Capisco was its combination of ergonomic sophistication and quirky design. The new HÅG Capisco Puls follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, renewing HÅG’s passion for movement and capturing the spirit of the modern office environment.” The HÅG philosophy is rooted in the idea that people are not designed to lead sedentary lives, as we require movement and activity in order to stay healthy. To improve wellbeing whilst at work, the HÅG Capisco Puls responds to the body’s natural movements and encourages constant activity, ensuring a comfortable, balanced posture that is also dynamic. The HÅG Capisco Puls also follows a stringent green initiative that ensures that it is manufactured from recycled materials where possible, minimizing the carbon footprint of each chair.
