Oops! That wasn't me. I was waiting for my turn. I didn't have anyone to take my photo.

| Me and my boss' badges |
Yey! I got my badge. Sorry, the photo looks weird, I took it using my blackberry. I got 2 badges cause I was supposed to meet my boss but it turned out that he was overwhelmed with work, so I was alone. The badge gives me access to both Workspace and INDEX. Yallah! Let's go.

After entering the hall, these are the first few things that really blow me away, elegant office furniture collections.
They vary from one size to another, different shapes, color and texture. I even managed to run my fingers through a few, can't help it. I feel like I really needed to touch them just to complement what I see. (^^,)
Indiana Furniture is based in Jasper Indiana, USA.
Each brand are coming from different countries, HNI International is a subsidiary of HNI Corporation, the second-largest office furniture manufacturer in North America. They have dealers here in UAE, one in Dubai and one in Abu Dhabi and others almost worldwide.
On the other side was NOA Offices which has offices and Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Beirut.
Too cozy for an office space huh? New Line Office srl is based in Nervesa della Battaglia, Italy. With range of classic style office furniture, their brand Romano Design attracted me in the first place.

Oh! And there is a mini library from Potterton Books UK. Wow! Look at that. Hmm... I wanted to stop by and check but I nah I couldn't afford to let my minutes run cause once I open a page to see what's in there, It's hard to stop. So, I left them. :(
