Viccarbe Furnishes the Across Ages Museum in Oman and Offices in UAE

The furniture collections of the Spanish firm Viccarbe add a touch of comfort and design to the Across Ages Museum. Located near the historic city of Nizwa, the museum is a cultural oasis in the middle of the desert, immersing visitors in an interactive 800-million-year journey through Oman's history and heritage. To do so, it uses state-of-the-art technologies, such as augmented reality (AR), 3D scanning and printing, and a 360-degree theater.

This cultural universe presents a monumental steel-clad structure with geometric volumes that are in dialog with the landscape and the Hajar mountain range, the highest mountain range in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula. The structure and exhibition design of the space was created by the experience design agency Event, in close collaboration with the Australian firm Cox Architecture, who took inspiration from the landscape of the region to give geometric form to the museum, and selected Viccarbe's collaborative furniture for the interior. The collections chosen to furnish it were the SEASON upholstered bench, designed by Piero Lissoni, the PENTA armchair created by Toan Nguyen, the RYUTARO side table designed by Victor Carrasco and John Pawson’s TRESTLE work table.

Moreover, during the last few months Viccarbe has also furnished several corporate offices in the UAE. These include the new headquarters of the telecommunications company DU in the Dubai Hills, and the wine and spirits division of the LVMH group "Moët Hennessy", both in Dubai, and the new offices of Aldar Properties in Abu Dhabi.  In addition to the SEASON and PENTA collections, there are SISTEMA FLOOR modular sofas by Lievore Altherr Molina, COPA stools by Ramos & Bassols,  SHAPE side tables by Jorge Pensi, ALETA chairs by Jaime Hayón, LAST MINUTE stools by Patricia Urquiola, MAARTEN armchairs and SERRA side tables by Victor Carrasco, ACE armchairs by Jean-Marie Massaud, the COMMON system of modular benches and side tables by Naoto Fukasawa, and FUNDA upholstered chairs by Stefan Diez.
