Innovation
for a sustainable future
Never before in its 118 year history has the craftsmanship of City of London’s
iconic Tower Bridge been so beautifully revealed as it is today, thanks to more
than 2.5 km of flexible, architectural LED lighting provided by GE Lighting.

Time for change
I ’m sad to say that after nearly a year-and-a-half as
editor of Commercial Interior Design , I am leaving the
magazine to set up another title within the consumer
division of ITP Publishing.
I’ve had a wonderful time meeting you all and launch-
ing the website www.designMENA.com, CID facebook
and twitter, 100 Objects of Desire volume I and II and the
INDEX Inspiration Daily tradeshow magazine, but it’s time
for me to spread my wings and try something new.
Highlights of the past year have been acting as a
judge on the INDEX Majlis competition, travelling to Feria
Habitat Valencia, Spain, Unicera International Ceramic, Kitchen & Bathroom fair,
Istanbul, Turkey and Salone del Mobile in Milan.
I encourage you to embrace the interior design community at large in the UAE
by either joining APID (Association of Professional Interior Designers), IIDA (Inter-
national Interior Design Association) Middle East chapter, the interior designers’
breakfast club every Friday, at MAKE business hub, Al Fattan towers, set up by
interior designer, Mark Marin of Mark Marin Design or FIGS (Furniture & Interiors
Golf Society), which meets at Jebel Ali Golf Resort & Spa, every quarter.
I’ve been lucky enough to get a j rsthand glimpse of the interiors of most ven-
ues before they have opened such as Hotel Missoni, Kuwait, Hakkasan Emirates
Towers, Dubai, and Mahiki, Jumeirah Beach Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed the
inaugural Design Days Dubai and meeting entrepreneurs such as Sarah Saleh of
Boxed who is trying to encourage designers and artisans to sell their hand-made
products online.
I want to thank everyone for your contributions to the magazine, whether it was
as a comment piece in our Industry Speak section, or Designer Q&A, case study
or general news update. I look forward to seeing you all at this year’s CID Awards
at Emirates Towers on Tuesday, September 25, 2012, to say a j nal farewell and
celebrate your success. If you need to contact me I will remain on the same email
and mobile number.
