Breathing new life into the traditional Uzbek tapchan for ACDF in Uzbekistan with the introduction of Qosh — a contemporary reinterpretation of the iconic outdoor seating piece. Working closely with Sirojiddin Rakhmatillaev, an Uzbek master of tapchan-making, studying his craft; we designed something entirely new together. Qosh fuses tradition with modern design, bringing a fresh perspective to communal seating.

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.
