New design talent in office interiorsThe latest newcomer on the Dubai design circuit is 26-year-old Tanya Gyani. She has arrived from India to take on the role of senior designer for OFIS and head up a turnkey service for office interiors. Keen to get involved in the escalating office industry she is confident that there is a real requirement for this type of service in Dubai. It is important in office design to understand the real needs of the client. Do they sit at computers for eight hours a day? Is their work focused on communication? I can translate these needs into tangible spaces. If space planning and office design caters properly to the client, productivity will increase. Gyani describes her style as being inspired by nature and organic elements. In terms of materials, natural light is an inspiration. I aim to provide soft, comfortable spaces using pastels, light woods, semi-lustrous metals and fluid forms. read more.
