UAE-based atelier YLA introduces its Fall 2025 Edition, a continuation of the sculptural vocabulary first established with its debut Audace Collection. Rooted in the brand’s signature exploration of metal as a living, emotional material, this new chapter expands the collection through two autumnal colourways—Sienna Ochre and Moss Green—tones that echo the season’s warmth, depth, and quiet resilience.

For founder Benoît Rondard, the Fall Edition is a meditation on transformation. “Design is never static,” he reflects. “It grows, it breathes, it transforms. This edition captures that moment between stillness and renewal.”

French designer Rémi Damilleville, who continues to shape YLA’s design language, deepens this narrative by treating metal as a material of memory—capable of holding light, shadow, and emotion. Curved silhouettes and softened edges challenge the conventional perception of metal as cold or rigid; instead, the pieces feel almost meditative, inviting touch and contemplation.

At the heart of the new edition are reimagined chairs, tables, shelving, and bookcases, each hand-finished in Dubai by artisans whose mastery lies in balancing technical precision with quiet restraint. Brushed surfaces, seamless welds, and layered matte finishes articulate a subtle interplay between reflection and depth, resulting in pieces that are both minimal and warm.

The two new hues anchor the collection’s emotional register. Sienna Ochre captures the golden descent of autumn leaves—an ending that simultaneously nourishes new beginnings. Moss Green, by contrast, speaks to permanence and endurance, recalling evergreen landscapes that persist through shifting seasons. Together, they suggest a chromatic dialogue between resilience and renewal.

In its Fall 2025 Edition, YLA continues to position furniture as an encounter—between material and light, structure and feeling. Proudly designed and crafted in Dubai, the collection reflects the city’s expanding creative landscape while offering a universal proposition: that design can be both grounded and poetic, engineered and deeply human.
