Volkswagen T-Roc SUV ups its game with Black Edition and Style Design special editions
The Volkswagen T-Roc mid-size SUV line-up has been revamped with the introduction of new Style Design and Black Edition Plus versions. These special editions replace the previous Style and Black Edition models, while the R-Line specification has also been discontinued. Both newcomers feature an upgraded exterior look, along with extra standard equipment compared with the models that they replace. In addition to big 19-inch alloys, metallic paint, a black roof, and a panoramic sunroof, there's also the convenience of an electric tailgate, keyless access and a rear-view camera.

Light matrix headlights, which intelligently adapt to oncoming traffic and road conditions. Volkswagen claims that the added features for the Black Edition Plus would typically set buyers back a hefty £3,225 if selected as individual options. However, the brand is offering the enhanced package at no extra cost, maintaining the previous Black Edition's price of £36,515. Meanwhile, the T-Roc Style Design is available for £33,205 – an increase of £1,000 over the previous Style trim - but comes with extra kit that would normally total £5,520 if selected separately. The new special editions will sit above the Life and Match versions in the T-Roc line-up, with the high-performance T-Roc R and R Black Edition rounding off the available options at the top. The T-Roc Style Design and Black Edition Plus will be available to order from Volkswagen UK retailers from May 22nd. Click here for our list of the mid-size SUVs ...

Tomorrow's Workspace Reimagined: Inside Style Design's TDS Showcase
At The Design Show 2025, Style Design stages a multi-zoned installation that questions why we work the way we do. There's something poetic about revisiting the future by walking through the past. At this year's edition of The Design Show Cairo, Style Design is constructing a provocation. Titled 'Tomorrow's Workplace', the multi-zone installation asks us to reconsider what we expect from the spaces we work in. Not just ergonomically, but emotionally. Split across three distinct yet interwoven areas - the Immersive Plaza, the Biophilic Hub, and the Infinite Hub - the booth is less about showcasing furniture and more about designing relationships. With ourselves, with others, with time, and with change. Anchoring the entire experience is a sweeping spatial timeline. Here, Style Design honours over a century of furniture evolution, moving from the Bauhaus' disciplined form-function minimalism to the hybrid-era's sensory-rich design. Visitors will come face to face with the Wassily Chair and the Barcelona Chair, the Panton's single-mould statement, and the ergonomic revolution ushered in by Herman Miller's Aeron. The progression isn't just visual - it's philosophical. From the Eames' belief that, 'eventually everything connects,' to today's reality where work no longer lives inside cubicles, but floats between screens, cities, and time zones. Beyond the timeline, two speculative capsules present opposing, yet complementary visions. The Infinite Hub, a hyper-digital vision of productivity, leans into a tech-forward, AI-powered future. Think responsive lighting, immersive data walls, and smart surfaces designed to keep pace with the speed of now. In contrast, the Biophilic Hub proposes a gentler reality. One where human wellness guides every design move. SceneHome isn't just covering Tomorrow's Workplace - we're part of it. You'll find our digital presence embedded inside the Biophilic Capsule, simulating what it means to produce editorial content in a space designed for the future. How does the environment affect the stories we tell? What happens when a design publication becomes part of the design? It's about more than desks and chairs - it's about rituals, rhythms, and environments that allow creativity to breathe. Olive branches pierce through the floor. Textures sooth instead of overstimulate. For a publication that lives and breathes digital media, this moment of analog intimacy is both metaphor and manifestation. Inspired by MillerKnoll's Design with Impact philosophy, Tomorrow's Workplace prompts reflection. Can a space help us move more and scroll less? What does workplace intimacy look like in an age of notifications? Can you design for quiet urgency - the kind that sparks flow without burnout? The installation is about integration. Between the digital and natural. Between ambition and wellbeing. Between the infinite scroll and the still page. Visitors should expect to not only leave with photos of statement chairs. But to leave with a question: What kind of world do we want to work in? And maybe, in the quiet curve of a Herman Miller backrest or the soft acoustics of the Biophilic Hub, they'll begin to find an answer. The space acknowledges the tension between digital speed and analog depth, between solitude and togetherness. And it doesn't pretend to resolve those tensions. Instead, it invites you to feel them, question them, and maybe leave with a clearer sense of what you need from the spaces you work in. As AI, climate shifts, and generational change continue to reshape how we live and labor, installations like Tomorrow's Workplace feel less like design statements and more like cultural diagnostics.
