We completed the interior renovation of the Okhun Gozar Mosque in Uzbekistan, a historic place of worship that required careful, respectful intervention to restore its spiritual atmosphere while introducing contemporary craft elements. Working with Uzbek artisans and drawing on the centuries-long tradition of geometric pattern in Islamic architecture, we brought new surfaces, lighting, and inlay work into dialogue with the existing structure. The project was one of the most significant sacred commissions our studio has undertaken, and one that required craft to serve devotion rather than decoration.

We collaborated with Laederach, the Swiss luxury chocolate maker known for its precision craftsmanship and high-quality ingredients, to create a limited-edition holiday offering that brought our design language into the context of gifting. The packaging and presentation were designed to carry the same attention to material, pattern, and cultural reference that we bring to our furniture and objects. It was a small but considered exercise in how craft sensibility can transform even the most familiar seasonal ritual into something more meaningful.

We opened a new dedicated bar space within Studio Nada Debs, our Beirut studio and showroom, and marked the occasion with an intimate gathering for the design community, collectors, and friends. The bar brought together some of our newest pieces alongside familiar works, creating a setting in which objects could be experienced in the context for which they were designed: people gathered, in conversation, around things made to last. It was a reminder that the studio is not just a place of making but a place of meeting.
