A force to be reckoned with in the worldwide design community.

The event brought together more than 160 senior architects and commercial interior designers from the region’s most influential firms. It was a great day for all with the chance to network with key interior designers and architects in the region. Together they addressed key industry issues, identified trends for the coming year, and highlighted opportunities for business development in the design space.

Some of the most influential designers in the region joined the panel discussions this year (including APID member and MMAC Associates partner, Christian Merieau) With (APID platinum partners) MAS paints supporting the ITP event with their stand which revealed a new look to the company identity.

 PRODUCT FEATURE 

SIA flowers now at Chattels & More showroom

 

SIA is a global benchmark for decorative flowers, but it has successfully developed in the decoration universe with, naturally, vases, but also candles, candlelights, furniture, tableware, lights, frames, decoration accessories and a very wide range of gift ideas. The name of the company “SIA” is none other than the initials of its founder Sonja Ingegerd Andersson and it was founded in 1963

The story begins in her kitchen in Sweden: she makes flowers by hand that she cut outs of tissue paper. The women’s magazine “Femina” publishes her creations and they are an immediate success.

Orders flow into the small house of Lustgarden which is transformed into a workshop where the whole village cuts out, folds and ships by post flowers that open in multicoloured corollas and today SIA is an international brand spread across the 4 continents

SIA products are specifically developed by the designers with the aim of creating harmonies. SIA can be now found at Chattels & More showroom situated at Umm Hurair Street, Oud Metha.
