Global design collective MillerKnoll brought its Conversations for a Better World series to Saudi Arabia during INDEX Saudi, uniting leading architects, designers, clients, and dealer partners for an evening of meaningful dialogue on the future of design.

 Set against the region’s premier design exhibition, the gathering reflected MillerKnoll’s belief in the power of design to foster connection and dialogue. Conversations centred on sustainability, circularity, and carbon reduction, themes at the heart of MillerKnoll’s global strategy and detailed in its annual Better World Report, which tracks progress on reducing emissions, sourcing better materials, and eliminating waste. 

While the dialogue was the focus of the evening, the event also underscored the importance of collaboration between global design leaders and local partners in driving sustainable transformation across the Middle East.

 “Saudi Arabia is a critical growth market for MillerKnoll, and INDEX Saudi was the ideal stage to host these conversations,” said Stacy Stewart, Regional Director, Middle East & Africa, MillerKnoll. “By bringing together designers, clients, and our dealer partner Dhow, we were able to create a platform for dialogue that bridges global sustainability commitments with local opportunities and challenges.” 

Dhow also emphasised the value of the collaboration. “Partnering with MillerKnoll on this initiative allowed us to connect our clients and the broader design community with ideas that are shaping the future of our industry. Conversations like these inspire us all to think differently about sustainability and design’s role in driving change,” said Mohamad Khodr, Managing Director, Dhow. 

By hosting this event alongside INDEX Saudi, MillerKnoll reaffirmed its commitment to the Kingdom and to working closely with partners and clients to achieve shared goals for people, business, and planet.
