TRIBE: Nothing beats natural

Sourced from around the world, Dubai’s favourite eco-conscious interior styling store TRIBE is where I head when it comes to finding furniture for my new home.

This earthy hotspot is a treasure trove of handmade, sustainable and natural products that are crafted around the world and curated by Dubai based Jo England. Their network of over 1000 artists extends to over 25+ countries, believing throughout that each piece should be sustainably created and ethically sourced. Fair-trade is also a key measuring point for the TRIBE team and their artisans are assured fair wages.

In this day and age where conscious consumerism is in the spotlight finally, organic and natural materials are having a resurgence and outdoor-indoor furniture no longer needs an introduction. Having a place to breathe in the home is important too, so each piece is designed to bring a taste of the tropics to you, helping to create a really comfortable and creative space for you to enjoy. Their studio space allows for a little more freedom of expression too, with a dedicated customization technician to add a little more personality into your home.

I have some gorgeous pieces from TRIBE, like my bedroom headboard in rattan, but with my new space needing some more warmth downstairs too, I chose this gorgeous island hanging chair. Inspired by the beach and designed for swinging the afternoon away. Not only is bamboo a beautiful looking material, it’s also fast-growing, strong and easy to harvest… making it a super sustainable material source.

Focusing on social responsibility too which is of uber importance to me, TRIBE plant’s trees and supports reforestation. As well as sponsoring a unique organization in India, which educates children (as seen on Netflix in ‘Daughters of Destiny’).

Holistic Home Furniture with 24:35

24:35 Dubai is a home grown start-up furniture brand specialising in one-of-a-kind, handmade, unique statement pieces for the home and we’re in LOVE! The name derives from the Qur’an, from a passage about light, which is where the design house began… candles.

The pieces are made for both one-off purveyors and collectors, with designs hand-made using vintage timbers and unique marbles. 24:35 now boasts a collective of furniture, lighting, home accessories and olfactory home fragrances in its inventory. Currently showcasing in Concept-Me in al Quoz, Hiba Sher is the curator behind this incredible design-house.

All of their pieces are inspired by nature and they are super passionate about the environment, ensuring never ever to purchase freshly cut trees. They only purchase very high quality aged timber that they refurbish themselves or trees that have fallen due to natural calamities. Not only that, for every piece of furniture made of wood, they plant 3 new indigenous trees! 24:35

They have a wonderful ethos too, providing complimentary healthcare and education for all company dependents, as well as grants for those who wish to pursue their higher education.

Here are some of their incredible pieces… i’m tempted to redecorate already!

Assorted mulberry logs, the bark was gently removed to preserve the natural form of the pieces. Inlayed with tribal etching inspired Brazilian marble. Methodically and meticulously polished with multiple treatments to recreate the the bark of the wood.

Trays and platters adorned with semi precious stones and natural crystals. Lined and framed in pure brass, every piece is one-of-a-kind, impossible to replicate.
