Grohe Group, a leading provider of sanitary fittings, has joined hands with the Association of Professional Interior Designers (Apid) and Esadore to host a design seminar in Dubai, UAE.

The event, hosted at the Grohe offices in Emaar Square, downtown Dubai, was part of an ongoing effort to support the UAE design community. It was held under the topic “Basics of Spa and Wet Area Design,” said a statement from Grohe.

Speakers from Esadore, the spa consultants, were present to guide designers on how to design a spa, it added.

Interior designers from a range of design firms too were invited to attend the event, it stated.

The objective was to provide interior designers with a better understanding of the key issues when designing for spas and wet areas whilst teaming up with the wider design community, said Grohe in its statement.

In 2012, Grohe had launched the 'Design Series' programme to encourage and reward successful creative work by young university students in the field of design.

Introduced in Lebanon and Turkey, the programme provided students with opportunities to challenge and maximise their individual talents while promoting lifelong learning.

The Apid’s Design Seminar Series was launched in April 2014 to enhance the skills of professional designers in the Gulf by exposing them to new innovations and expanding their knowledge on products they specify.

Firas Ibrahim, the sales director for projects, Gulf, said: "As part of Grohe’s continued commitment to giving back to the community and to promote learning and the design communities, we are delighted to have partnered with Apid and Esadore to make this design seminar possible."

"Together, we hope to educate and encourage dialogue about the best practices and challenges of spa designs in the UAE whilst implementing initiatives to engage the design community as part of Grohe’s design series programme. Through our collaboration, we hope to play our part in aiding and investing in the UAE design community," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
