“We believe companies are communities of people who work best when they have time for informal conversations.“⁠
⁠
That was one of many thought-provoking insights shared during our visit to BW: Workplace Experts’ new London workspace, where we sat down with Anthony Brown, CMO and co-owner of BW, Zoë Allen, Founder of Artistic Statements, and Hayley Marcroft, Associate at Siren Design Group.⁠
⁠
Together, we explored how workplaces can foster community rather than hierarchy, why art should be embedded into the design process rather than added at the end, and how thoughtful design can help people reconnect, collaborate and focus.⁠
⁠
Along the way, we discussed everything from celebrating construction and reclaiming attention to creating spaces that encourage the conversations that happen before and after meetings, where, as Anthony puts it, “the real business of work gets done.“⁠

French-inspired dining brand NAC has officially opened its first restaurant in Kuwait City, with a beautifully crafted interior by DLSM Studio.⁠
⁠
Located within the new Hessah District, the two-storey destination brings together NAC’s signature Parisian charm with a refined response to its coastal Middle Eastern setting. Think layered textures, handcrafted details, rich materials and a seamless transition from relaxed daytime dining to an atmospheric evening experience.⁠
⁠
This latest opening marks DLSM Studio’s sixth NAC destination across the Middle East, continuing the evolution of a brand that balances consistency with a strong sense of place.⁠

What happens when bold design ambition meets manufacturing precision?⁠
⁠
For AXIS, one of the standout installations of Milan Design Week 2026, Actiu partnered with Tom Dixon and Cosentino to transform a sculptural concept into a technically refined furniture collection.⁠
⁠
Built around intersecting geometries and architectural clarity, AXIS explores the relationship between structure, material and form, combining Tom Dixon’s design vision with Cosentino’s innovative ĒCLOS® surface and Actiu’s engineering expertise.⁠
⁠
The project highlights the often unseen role of manufacturing innovation in bringing ambitious design concepts to life, where creativity, precision and industrial capability must work hand in hand.⁠

WOW!house is always a highlight in the design calendar, for the interiors and for the conversations they open up.

It is where designers, brands, makers and suppliers show what can happen when a brief is stretched, a material is pushed, and a partnership is given space to develop.

This year, we left thinking about the details that made us pause: the rooms that invited a closer look, the spaces that felt ready for conversation, the craft that could be felt as much as seen, and the bold ideas that turned each room into its own world.
