Designed by an Emirati architectural photographer, Palm Repose integrates local culture influences with innovative design.
Drawing inspiration from traditional scenes of UAE farmers resting amid their palm-laden landscapes, the bench pays tribute to the native palm trees by featuring a horizontally placed palm trunk as its focal point, evoking a deep connection to nature and a sense of grounded strength.
Encased within a sleek black metal frame, the natural texture and warmth of the palm trunk are beautifully contrasted and above the palm trunk lies comfortable cushions. The blend of organic and industrial materials contributes to a contemporary design that resonates with the 'designing responsibly' ethos of this project.
