The 3rd Edition Hospitality Innovation Summit Africa, held on December 4-5, 2024, at the JW Marriott Dubai, was filled with incredible energy! The event brought together top minds in the hospitality industry, and S+S Interior Design Studio had the honor of leading a dynamic conversation on “Design Game: Crafting Unique African Experiences.”

Ira and Olya Sundukovy, the creative duo behind S+S, shared the stage with renowned experts Diane Thorsen, Dipo Adebo, Mardre Meyer, Shadi El Ghoneimi, and the ever-inspiring Tarek Hegazy. The spotlight was on S+S’s recent project, Gem Forest Nairobi MGallery, showcasing our ability to merge culture, design, and innovation in the hospitality world.

The atmosphere was electric, and the conversation was both insightful and engaging. It was a pleasure to reconnect with industry peers and long-term partners such as Roberto Martinez and  Sergey Kokarev (KALDEWEI), Heba El Dessouky (City Edge Developments), David Nikuradze (Spectrum Architects), Tomas Griger (CRST Studio), and many others.

We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Ravi Kumar Chandran, Kirti Lata, and Anu for their exceptional organization and support.

At S+S Studio, we’re passionate about creating unique hotel and restaurant experiences beyond design—spaces that tell a story and captivate guests and owners. We look forward to more exciting collaborations with GBB Ventures and beyond!
