Sometimes, a media platform doesn’t just publish, it narrates. It connects. It creates a movement.
And from day one, Designooor has been exactly that: an effort to build a space that reimagines lighting design not as a technical branch, but as a living culture.
In less than a year, our journey began as an independent idea, and now we proudly stand at a point where we can say: Designooor has been selected as the Best Online Lighting Media at the UAE Business Awards 2025.

But this title is not merely the result of content production or statistical growth. It is the outcome of conversations that took shape. Ears that listened. Critiques that lit the way forward.
During this time, we’ve hosted voices that explored the world of lighting design. through podcasts, in-depth interviews, collaborations such as media partnerships with Women in Lighting and the LIT Lighting Design Award, and workshops that focused not on promotion, but on education and connection.
Our rapid progress was made possible by something that may seem simple, yet is rare: audience trust.
And perhaps for this very reason, this award is more than just an achievement for us. It is a reminder that to listen well, to see clearly, and to speak rightly, still matters.
