Omrania was proud to take part in the INDEX Design Talks at INDEX Saudi 2025, joining a vibrant platform where international voices and regional leaders explored the dynamics of intuitive and emotionally driven design. The discussions reinforced how the profession is moving beyond formulaic solutions, inviting designers to leverage instinct and sensory experience as core tools for spatial impact.
Our Interior Design Director and Head of Department, Alia Centofanti, contributed to the lively panel “Design Intuition: Shaping Space Through Emotion, Not Rules,” sharing insights on how context and human factors can guide design thinking with depth and authenticity. The exchange between panelists emphasized the value of empathy, cross-disciplinary experience, and responsiveness to cultural narratives in creating interiors that resonate on a personal and collective level.
We extend our thanks to fellow speakers Ayah Ghassan Al Farraj, Samuele Martelli, Sumaya Dabbagh, and Tina Sablic, as well as moderator Manuja Sharma, for steering such an engaging and thought-provoking discussion. Collaborative dialogues like these serve to advance the practice of design and reinforce the importance of human-centered approaches across diverse contexts.
