One True Find & Kiki's Launch Capsule for a Stylish Summer Escape
One True Find and Kiki's have collaborated on a furniture capsule that distills the mood of Sahel summers into sun-faded textiles, asymmetrical forms, and playful detailing. One True Find and Kiki's have teamed up on a furniture-focused collaboration rooted in a shared sense of ease and familiarity. Titled 'We Live Here', the capsule explores how everyday beach rituals and sensory details shape the summer experience - from damp towels that never quite dry, to mismatched objects, textured surfaces, and the low hum of conversation carried on the breeze. The collection embraces nostalgia through its materials and colour choices. Off-white chaise longues and poufs fade like sun-worn towels, while bright orange piping recalls the soft glow of late afternoons. Side tables are irregular and asymmetrical, nodding to Agamy's unpolished charm in the '90s, before Sahel style became curated and overdesigned. The capsule's umbrellas double as metaphors for the collection's design ethos. On the outside, they're muted and minimal. But step underneath and you'll find mustard tassels and vintage floral linings—small interior touches that inject character without overwhelming the setting. It's that interplay between restraint and personality that defines the project. 'We wanted soul, colour, and warmth. A space that lives and breathes summer,' says Shady El Refaay, co-founder of One True Find. Rather than relying on dramatic centrepieces, the collection leans into subtler choices that create a sense of place and ease. 'It feels like Kiki's, looks like One True Find, and moves like something entirely new,' adds Nour Abdel Maguid, the studio's creative director. For Kiki's, the collaboration marks a shift in how the venue engages with space. 'Kiki's Beach is now sexier, more playful, and more fun than ever. One True Find gave us this magic kick,' explains Kareem Nabil, co-founder of Kiki's. With rugs underfoot, towel-draped chairs, and a palette that reflects the Sahel sun, We Live Here is an invitation to linger. In the middle of high season, the capsule finds quiet moments of comfort without compromising the vibe.

Sultan bin Ahmed attends University of Sharjah medical graduation
Dr Esameldin Agamy The graduation ceremony commenced with the UAE national anthem, followed by recitation of verses from the Holy Quran. Dr Esameldin Agamy, Chancellor of the University of Sharjah, delivered a speech in which he expressed deep gratitude to His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed bin Sultan Al Qasimi for his generous patronage and for honouring the event with his presence. His Highness also extended his congratulations to the graduates, celebrating the addition of a new group of qualified medical professionals to the healthcare field. University of Sharjah's achievements in healthcare In his address at the graduation ceremony, Esameldin Agamy highlighted the University of Sharjah's notable achievements in the medical field, both academically and scientifically. He emphasised the university's vital role in advancing community health and healthcare education. Agamy noted that under the vision and direction of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member, Ruler of Sharjah, and Founder of the University, the Integrated Healthcare Complex was established in 2004. Designed to reflect the real-world healthcare environment, the complex brings together the Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Health Sciences, along with advanced research and training centres. He stressed that this is more than just an academic facility—it is a comprehensive learning ecosystem that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and prepares a unified, skilled healthcare team capable of delivering holistic care across all levels and circumstances. Graduates serving globally The Chancellor of the University of Sharjah announced that since the establishment of the Integrated Healthcare Complex, the university has graduated over 4,500 doctors, dentists, and pharmacists. These graduates are now serving in healthcare systems across the UAE, the wider region, and around the world, contributing as skilled and qualified professionals in various medical fields. The value of healthcare professionals Dr Agamy emphasised that the true worth of a doctor, dentist, or pharmacist goes beyond scientific knowledge and clinical expertise. It lies in their ability to uphold human dignity during a patient's most vulnerable moments. In the treatment room, where patients are exposed both physically and emotionally, healthcare professionals are called upon to not only treat but to comfort—to ease pain, instill hope, protect privacy, uphold confidentiality, and act with precision and compassion. He underscored the importance of teamwork in delivering effective care, noting that successful treatment depends on the seamless collaboration of doctors, pharmacists, nurses, physical therapists, and other specialists. Importance of health sciences Speaking during the graduation ceremony for the College of Health Sciences, the Chancellor highlighted the vital role health sciences professionals play in improving lives and safeguarding public well-being. Addressing graduates from all specialisations, he stated that fields such as health administration, environmental health, nursing, medical laboratories, diagnostic imaging, physical therapy, therapeutic nutrition, and others form the backbone of any successful healthcare system. Integration and collaboration in healthcare Dr Agamy emphasised that the excellence often attributed to international healthcare systems is not solely due to advanced technology or individual expertise, but rather to the seamless integration of roles, a collaborative work environment, and strong coordination among all elements of the system. Addressing the graduates, he highlighted the vital role they will play within multidisciplinary healthcare teams, stating, 'You are one of the most critical components of this integration. You are the backbone and lifeblood of the healthcare system.' Healthcare system development He stressed that this conscious collaboration among professionals is what will elevate the UAE's healthcare system above others. True societal progress, he said, is only possible through the scientific, professional, and ethical preparation of human resources—then empowering them to actively contribute to the development of their institutions and the broader health and social infrastructure. Graduates as leaders of change Dr Agamy expressed great confidence in the graduates, calling them ambassadors of a forward-looking vision and future leaders of meaningful change. 'You have chosen a noble path—one rooted in humanitarian service and community care. Your work touches the very essence of human life, dignity, and well-being,' he said. He concluded by affirming the University of Sharjah's pride in producing graduates equipped with the knowledge, skills, and experience to make a powerful and positive impact on healthcare systems, both in the UAE and around the world. Certificate presentation His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed bin Sultan Al Qasimi presented graduation certificates to 453 students from the University of Sharjah's medical colleges. The graduates included 189 from the College of Medicine, 150 from the College of Pharmacy, 114 from the College of Dentistry, and 423 from the College of Health Sciences. His Highness congratulated the graduates and offered prayers for their continued success in their professional journeys and careers. Graduate speeches of gratitude On behalf of the graduates, Ahmed Khalifa bin Ghalita from the medical colleges and Ali Nabil from the College of Health Sciences delivered speeches expressing their heartfelt gratitude to His Highness, the President of the University of Sharjah, for his continued support and patronage of the university and its students. They also thanked His Highness for attending and honouring the graduation ceremony with his presence. Bin Ghalita's speech of thanks In his speech, Bin Ghalita expressed deep pride and gratitude for the unwavering support of His Highness, the President of the University of Sharjah. He said, "We draw inspiration from Your Highness in understanding the true meaning of leadership and strength of will. We admire your excellence and creativity in guiding us, following in the footsteps of our founding father, and leading us with confidence toward global distinction and leadership. Your words of encouragement and supportive messages bring us immense joy—more than you may ever know. You are our source of inspiration and a role model we deeply respect. Thank you for your care, your unwavering support, and for honoring us with your presence today." Ali Nabil's speech on unity and pride Graduate Ali Nabil expressed his joy—and that of his fellow classmates—at reaching the milestone of graduation after years of dedication, learning, and hard work. He said, "From the moment we were accepted into the University of Sharjah, we came together from all corners of the world, united under the university's embrace, sharing knowledge, experiences, and the richness of diverse cultures and civilisations. And today, we stand together with pride to say: We are the graduates of the University of Sharjah. We are here." Gratitude to professors and parents The graduates extended their heartfelt thanks and appreciation to their professors and parents for their invaluable support and dedication, which played a crucial role in the success of their educational journey. They acknowledged the guidance that helped them pursue a noble path in service to humanity. The graduates also offered warm congratulations to their fellow classmates, both male and female, on reaching this proud milestone. Taking the professional oath During the graduation ceremony, the graduates solemnly took the oath of medical and healthcare professionals in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and President of the University of Sharjah, pledging to carry out their duties with dedication, integrity, and loyalty.
