UAE Permanent mission to the UN
With Studio Nada Debs in collaboration with SOM
“A concept of hospitality that blends Middle Eastern tradition with diplomatic decorum" was the guideline set for the interiors by SOM. In line with this, the custom furniture designed was to be comfortable yet permeated with Middle Eastern references. The regional crafts of marquetry inlay, hand carving and mother of pearl inlay are applied on louvers and pleats to offer different perspectives as one circulates.
