    How long have you been in this space?
    Our showroom in Al Wasl opened in November of last year.
    Have you custom-built any bespoke pieces for the showroom?
    We are in love with mid-century design and wanted to add a mid-century touch to our space, so we used a real Terrazo floor throughout the showroom. We wanted the showroom to feel more personal – like a home – so we custom-built a little kitchen using IKEA fronteriors panels and we sourced Omani marble for the countertop. We then added a dark scenic wallpaper to create a contrasting mood in the space. These little bespoke additions made our showroom distinctive, and we added our curated furniture and accessories and the space came to life.
    How do you think the interior buys reflect you?
    We love iconic design pieces that are reminiscent of an era or tell the story of the designer that created them. I like the fact that a home can be one’s personal gallery and that each piece is perfectly curated. When we select furniture for Clay, we try to go for timeless and iconic designs that can transcend time and trends.
    Describe your taste in three words.
    Contemporary, curated, iconic.

      Welcome to The Elevate Issue.
      In this issue we look at those operating at the top of their field, raising the bar and bringing their A-game to an industry they have become expert in. We also ask what it takes to get to the top and stay there. One thing many of these incredible individuals have in common is consistency, a reminder to never underestimate the power of the compounding effect of small daily habits.
      For the cover we have partnered with Carrera, a brand synonymous with pioneering design and outstanding quality since 1956.
      We deliver the best edit of cool, contemporary cuts to keep you covered this Ramadan in The Edit, we speak to Isabel May, Managing Director & Chief Customer Experience Officer at MyTheresa on operating with excellence at every touchpoint in the e-commerce game in A Curated Approach and we unveil the latest collection form UAE – based ODEEM in An Understated Summer.
      Beauty and lifestyle wise, we compile the best pieces to elevate your nighttime routine in Well Rested, we have an exclusive interview with Victoire de Taillac, Founder of Officine Universelle Buly in Art De Vivre and we elevate your hair game with the best hair mists in Crowning Glory.
      We also compile the best edit of short haul trips in Eid Escapes, so you can book your downtime in advance.

      Take this month to define reflect, reevaluate, and elevate. Welcome to the next level.
