How long have you been working for BoConcept
I have been working for BoConcept for 10 years now

What is your best style tip?
Maximize the space you have, but never compromise the design. Choose a few pieces that makes the room seem bigger. In Dubai many of us lives in smaller apartments. I suggest putting mirrors, it will create the illusion that the room is bigger than it is. Also choose glass or see through coffee tables, it will make the room look lighter and less cramped. If you have an unused corner, place a nice chair where you can read and relax.

Your  favorite item in the store? 
The Cenova sofa! I like that you can choose to have loose, casual cushions, it is so relaxing and comfortable. It also looks great with the fixed cushions! It is really a sofa where you can lay back and relax. I of course also love that you can change material, color and size so you can create a sofa that is perfect for your home.
