Emirates Glass has added a brand new state-of-the-art furnace to its product line
Emirates Glass one of the leading processors of architectural flat glass in the Middle East and wholly-owned by Dubai Investments PJSC, is upgrading its product offering through the installation of the Glaston Vortex Pro Jumbo Series high-performance flat tempering line to provide high-quality, larger tempered glass. The Glaston Group is a leading global glass company providing high-quality glass processing machines and services for architectural, solar appliance and automotive applications.
The company’s new tempering furnace is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and is designed to produce large glasses that are up to eight meters long. The line is specifically designed to Temper High-Performance Coated Glass with the lowest emissivity & highest quality.
The machine is equipped with ‘Edge Control’, an active edge control technology that incorporates intelligent cooling profiling which automatically adapts to the glass size and minimises edge lift. The furnace is also equipped with an online quality measurement system called ‘iLook’ – an automated scanning system for measuring the optical quality of tempered glass that eliminates the need for manual measurement of glass distortion and aesthetics. The installation of the new furnace is in line with Emirates Glass’ dynamic growth strategy, which focuses on providing high-quality products to meet the growing demand for tempered glass across the Middle East region.
Rizwanulla Khan, executive president, Emirates Glass LLC, said “At Emirates Glass we are focussed on continually expanding our business, including the optimisation of our production processes, increasing efficiency, and expanding our product offering. This is shown by recent upgrades, including the installation of this new furnace. As the market for high quality, larger tempered glass continues to grow, there is a clear need for investing in advanced systems to fulfill the demand for glass quality that stands out from the competition. We have been partnering with Glaston technology since 2000, and this new technology will enable us to process large glasses in line with growing demand.”

The mesmerising Swarovski Instant Wonder store opens at Mall of the Emirates
Swarovski Instant Wonder store, now open at Mall of the Emirates, Dubai.
The Swarovski Wonderlab comes alive with the unveiling of 28 Instant Wonder stores in key global markets. What began with Milan’s Galleria store opening in February, the Parisian debut in March and the New York City unveilings in April has led to a much-anticipated opening in the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai, UAE.
Swarovski’s Instant Wonder stores realise a sense of joyful wonder, a candy-like dreamscape filled with the full spectrum of crystal lifestyle pieces—loose components, jewellery, watches, figurines and accessories— and furnished with a captivating backdrop of Swarovski’s octagonal logo silhouette, created from the new packaging.
Though one facet of many in the brand’s relaunch, the covetable new boxes play a key role in bringing Instant Wonder stores to life. Each store is represented by one of five colours – white, pink, green, blue, and yellow – that are, in turn, inspired by the prismatic result of light shining through the crystal. Walls are lined from floor to ceiling in the octagonal boxes to create a monochromatic, repeating motif that encourages exploration.
In addition, a series of metallic-cast busts replaces traditional jewellery display stands, instead of experimenting with form, scale, and representation to turn everyday situations into opportunities for self-expression. Each character, named and scanned from life, has been created using innovative 3D technology in poses representing moments of joyful play.

Pan Emirates launches ”Win Your Dream Home” campaign
Amidst the fierce and keen competition among companies worldwide, promotional prizes got a bit more exciting with the launch of Pan Emirates Home Furnishings ”Win Your Dream Home” campaign. The leading Emirati brand, renowned for offering the latest trending designs in home furnishing in the Middle East, has recently announced a life-changing opportunity where the customers can now own their dream home in the heart of Dubai for free. By simply purchasing for AED3000 or above from Pan Emirates, the customer will stand a chance to win 1 BHK apartment worth AED1.1mn in Al Habtoor City, Dubai. The offer is applicable across all the stores in the UAE and also for online purchases at “panemirates.com”. Furthermore, the apartment will be furnished with furniture and accessories from Pan Emirates, making it more irresistible.
The ever stunning and iconic actress/TV presenter Mayssa Maghrebi is the endorser of Pan Emirates ”Win Your Dream Home” campaign. The announcement has taken the social media world by storm and created quite a buzz as it is not any run-of-the-mill promotion you come across. The unbelievable prize also posed various inquiries regarding its credibility, mainly because it is more customary that the customer buys an apartment and, if in the fluke, gets the furniture for free, not the other way around.
Mohammed Katawalla, Deputy Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer of Pan Emirates Home Furnishings, stated: “Nothing is impossible in the United Arab Emirates, as this is the land of dreamers”.
Katawalla added: “Owning a home in Dubai is a dream for many, and by announcing this prize, we are giving our customers an opportunity to translate their dream into a reality”.
Through this unparalleled campaign, the brand aims to inspire its customers and establish an enduring relationship rooted in loyalty and mutual trust. The campaign will be valid from June 1-August 31, 2021.

Influencer Nas Daily’s new Emirates Tower office designed by Kart Group is bold and beautiful!
Well-known influencer Nuseir Yassin, the face of Nas Daily has opened his office in the Emirates Towers designed by Kart Group.
Yassin is an extraordinary Israeli-Palestinian Harvard graduate influencer who has already spent much of his young life travelling. Yassin runs a storytelling company that communicates the disparity between people, cultures, and religions. His journey started when he pledged to make a minute-long video for 1000 days. Nas means people in Arabic. Nas Daily creates videos about remarkable people from all over the world. Yassin is one of the most influential creators on Facebook, which is just shy of 20 million followers.
Project brief
Yassin and the team at NasDaily asked for a contemporary office design with a touch of colour that reflects the client’s corporate identity and youthful playfulness in the design features.
Concept
The overall concept of the 1100sqft office design is to reflect the personality of the founder; bold and brave. The dominating colour in the office space is pure white, and the rest of the colours are of muted neutral tones and a strong accent of yellow. Nas Daily is a young team, and they need inspirational office space that promotes a social and interactive atmosphere.
Various design elements
The office façade and the internal reception counter is a bold statement and catches everyone’s attention that passes Nas Daily on Emirates Towers Boulevard. The addition of the stark black framing enhances the depth of the office space, increases saturation and accentuates the confident yellow highlights. The office space is conveniently located on one floor and divided by glass panels into four unique areas.
About the ambience
The dynamic atmosphere of the office is boosted with the well-designed casual setting. The strong design lines and powerful pops of colour create compelling energy and movement throughout the office space, reception, and meeting room.
Unique features
Behind the welcome reception desk lies a portal comprising two booths on either side which are made private by floor-to-ceiling black panelling. The panels create an impressive doorway that also encourages movement into the offices behind.
Kart used high-quality concrete porcelain and acrylic panelling to create office space, and coloured stickers gave zingy accents. All of the furniture is in the preferred contemporary design in warm neutral colours that are accented with bold colours in the cushion collection.
