o'de rose highlights the beauty of transforming plants and nature into art pieces, showcasing the work of two regional design teams that are passionate about the synergy between nature, form and function.

Increasingly, the boundaries between indoors and outdoors are blurring with Urban Gardens bringing the great outdoors into our homes. This ‘Botanical Oasis’ trend has influenced designers from around the world to incorporate nature into their sculptural and functional pieces.

For over a decade, o’ de rose has been a platform for innovative designers and unique product launches in Dubai that highlight talent from around the region, constantly on the lookout for the most innovative and forward thinking designers in the Middle East. This year, for Dubai Design Week, we present two amazing design teams who hail from the region, and who are passionate about the synergy between nature, form and function. In their hands, the simple house plant is elevated to an art form while embracing the multi-functionality necessary in today’s design climate.

Go Green… with style!
