The Architecture and Design Commission’s strategic partnership with INDEX Saudi Arabia reflects its ongoing efforts to elevate the Kingdom’s design sector through a wide range of programs and initiatives. These include attracting leading international exhibitions to Saudi Arabia, fostering collaboration across the ecosystem, and supporting local design businesses. At the exhibition, the Commission will spotlight its pioneering national initiative, “Designed in Saudi”, which aims to empower the industrial design field. A curated selection of products awarded the official Designed in Saudi seal will also be on display.
Saudi Diamond & VIP Majlis Sponsor Guthmi will unveil a collection of 26 sustainable textile ranges, many tailored specifically for Saudi Arabia’s rapidly expanding hospitality and residential sectors.
Zainub Khan, Textile Consultant at Guthmi, said: “Our participation in the exhibition is a reflection of our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the rich heritage embedded in our products, values that align closely with the ambitious growth objectives of Saudi Vision 2030. Saudi Arabia is currently full of opportunities, with giga-projects, hotels, and residential developments expanding at an unprecedented pace. As a result, interior designers and real estate developers are seeking partners who can deliver premium, locally available solutions that meet international standards and sustainability goals.”
Khan highlighted Texcare, Guthmi’s newest eco-conscious sub-brand: “The collection aligns with the globally recognised OEKO-TEX® Standard, offering timeless, durable fabrics that reduce waste and support sustainable design. This direction reflects a wider regional shift away from short-lived trends and towards long-term, responsible interiors.”
