We were named in Identity Magazine's Top 50, an annual list published by one of the Middle East's leading design and architecture publications recognising the most significant voices shaping the region's creative landscape. The recognition placed us among designers, architects, and creative figures whose work has had a lasting impact on how the region sees itself and presents itself to the world. For us it was an acknowledgement not of a single project but of the accumulated work of over two decades of studio practice.

We collaborated with Stouls, the Paris-based luxury leather brand known for its innovative use of exotic and rare skins in high-end ready-to-wear, to create a collection that brought marquetry and leather into direct conversation. We developed a series of hexagonal geometric patterns drawn from our design vocabulary and applied them directly onto Stouls' signature leather surfaces, treating leather as we might treat wood: as a material to be decorated through precision and repetition. The result was a collection in which the geometry of Arab craft became a formal language equally at home on a leather surface as on a wooden one.

For the third consecutive year, we were named in AD Middle East's AD100 list, Architectural Digest's annual ranking of the most influential and respected designers in architecture, interiors, and product design across the Middle East. The recognition placed us among the designers most consistently shaping the visual and cultural identity of the region, and was a reflection of ongoing work that spans collectible furniture, interior projects, and craft-led collaborations. Being recognised three years in a row felt less like an award and more like an acknowledgement of a sustained commitment to the field.
