Softly does it

Brand new at Aati is the Luca Soft collection from Ligne Roset. Designed by the architect Jean Philippe Nuel, Luca Soft is feminine, curvaceous and elegant, and consists of seats, armchairs and bridge chairs in a range of striking colours.

The Luca Soft range is available now from Aati Za'abeel Road and the Ligne Roset showroom on Sheikh Zayed Road

Summer sale

Get some Ottoman style at a steal with this floor cushion from Matalan, priced at just Dh80. Its vibrant orange, yellow and purple design will introduce some colour to your living room, and when it's cool enough to move onto the garden or terrace, its leather-style base means its durable enough to use as outdoor seating, too.

Dh80, Matalan stores nationwide

Stone's throw

Designed by Giulio Iacchetti, Alessi's Ape range of serveware is dedicated to appetisers. If you're looking for a simple but clever way to present nuts, olives and canapés, this is the collection for you. The Ape olive bowl is particularly useful because it includes an enclosed steel container where you can dispose of your olive stones.

Spa sensation

Hamam, one of the world's leading bathroom accessories brands, is now available exclusively at Bloomingdale's Home in Dubai. Hamam's "spa quality" towels, bathrobes, bath mats and slippers are made from the finest cotton and contain Microban protection to help keep the fabrics cleaner and fresher for longer.

Brass instruments

Mukul Goyal's Eden and Lattice collections are now available from www.dubaigifts.biz. The Indian designer's distinctive home accessories combine traditional materials with quirky, contemporary forms. We particularly love the Eden Couple Candleholder, where Goyal's preferred medium of chromed brass has been twisted to create delicately intertwining stems.
