I As the countdown continues to the special 15th Edition of the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Ethara unveils new initiatives across Yas Marina Circuit to build on existing practices to deliver the region’s biggest event weekend Ethara © The region’s biggest event weekend With the full flow of the event season underway, Ethara has revealed exciting new additions as part of ongoing sustainability initiatives with just weeks to go until the region’s biggest event weekend, the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Following on from the significant milestones in recent years, including achieving the FIA 3-Star Certification and becoming a signatory to the United Nations Sports for Climate Action, Ethara is set to implement several key new solutions and additions to support in its forward-thinking approach to hosting the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend and other major international events across its venues. Set to debut at the 15th edition of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit, the all-new Abu Dhabi GP mobile application will go live in the coming weeks, with the platform not only providing the ideal hub for fans to keep up to date on all the latest information across the event, but also housing their tickets as part of the organisation’s drive to reduce the need for physical tickets as in previous years. The app also features an innovative sustainability-first initiative, incentivising the thousands of fans inside the Yas Marina Circuit venue to reduce waste, reuse and recycle for the chance to win exclusive discounts and experiences at the venue for the coming year. Alongside this, the traditional Formula 1 Driver Parade which takes place prior to the race every Sunday will see a unique twist, with the introduction of an all-new electric truck parade, making its debut at the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. As the home of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Ethara and Yas Marina Circuit have also signed an agreement with Emerge, a joint venture between the UAE’s Masdar and France’s EDF, to introduce a new solar power car park system inside the venue, set to generate approximately 30% of the circuit’s total annual energy demand in a strategic, long-term project to reduce the venue’s need for additional energy sources. The initiatives align with Formula 1’s Net Zero strategy and ongoing sustainability initiatives across the season, with Ethara focusing on consistently implementing impactful evolutions to its business-wide sustainability programme to lower the overall carbon footprint. As Venues Portfolio Director, Danny Klima leads many sustainability-focused initiatives and believes the practical, impactful solutions and outcomes introduced over time are providing Ethara with consistent progress towards its goal of reaching Net Zero across all venues and its flagship event by 2030. “The biggest focus is ensuring we are continuing to make consistent steps forward towards more sustainable practices as a whole, and bringing our Partners and loyal fans along with us towards our sustainability goals,” said Klima. “Ultimately, this approach means we are providing fans the opportunity to make more sustainable choices. This year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is set to see record attendances across our venues – Yas Marina Circuit and Etihad Park – and so it’s key for us to give fans the opportunity to join our efforts, in small and big ways.” In a year of growth for Ethara, 2023 has continuously seen new, innovative additions to the company’s sustainability initiatives. With Yas Marina Circuit’s new track-wide LED lighting system reducing total connected power requirements across the 5.28km track, and solar panelling across the iconic Abu Dhabi Hill to bring more practical inclusions to the programme, the historic 15th edition of the region’s biggest race weekend is set to be the most sustainable to date. Klima added: “In recent years, we’ve hit some key markers to align with Formula 1’s sustainability approach and objective of reaching Net Zero by 2030, with the FIA 3-Star Certification and the United Nations Sports for Climate Action pledge and more recently being awarded the International Standards Organisation ISO 20121 for Sustainable Event Management recognising the way we plan and deliver the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and, ISO 14001 for Environmental management recognising the way we operate Yas Marina Circuit”. “As a whole, we’re looking forward to welcoming our fans and working with our Partners and stakeholders to make this the most sustainable Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend yet.” Ethara is setting the standard of excellence in entertainment, sport, culture, event services, and asset management regionally and internationally. With offices throughout the region, the company employs over 300 professionals who offer an unrivalled wealth of expertise, experience, knowledge, and skills. Ethara, meaning ‘thrill’ in Arabic, manages an impressive portfolio of assets, including Yas Marina Circuit, Etihad Park, Etihad Arena, and the Yas Conference Centre. The company works with leading events companies, IP owners, and entertainment partners locally and internationally to deliver world-class, first-to-market events and experiences.

Located on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, the circuit is home to the annual FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX and much more. In addition to the extensive year-round program of professional and grassroots motorsport events and experiences including Drag and Yas Track Nights, the circuit has emerged as a thriving hub for entertainment and community events in the UAE. Yas Marina Circuit is also a champion of sustainability in motorsports, receiving the Three-Star Environmental Certification from the FIA, the governing body’s highest recognition of sustainability. The award is an acknowledgement of the circuit’s long-standing commitment to environmental management with the objective of standing with Formula One in becoming Net-Zero Carbon by 2030. As the region’s most technologically advanced facility, the circuit is also a leading MICE venue, regularly hosting a diverse range of corporate meetings, conferences, and events. Whether you want to experience the thrill of karting at our Kartzone, driving an Aston Martin GT4 at over 200km/hour on an F1 circuit, work towards your racing license at the Yas Racing School, get fit at TrainYas, participate in one of our many sporting events, or simply catch up with friends at Yas Central, Yas Marina Circuit truly is The Meeting Place of Champions. Pack nicotine alternatives Smoking cessation isn’t a one-and-done thing; being out with friends—especially smokers—might exacerbate your cravings. Instead of giving in and asking for a smoke, tobacco-free alternatives can help tamp down those urges. Nicotine pouches are a great product for a night out. Most nicotine pouches come in cans, which allow users to experience nicotine satisfaction on the go. Another great option is nicotine patches, which have been around for decades as a quitting aid. Brands like Habitrol nicotine patches come with two or three-step programs over eight or twelve weeks, gradually lowering the nicotine dose after some time. all images © Read our Summer Issue See Haute couture from Dior, Alexis Mabille, Georges Hobeika, Zuhair Murad, Valentino and more Explore Moralmoda Art Culture Lifestyle Travel Business Interviews Events ​ Get in touch About us Contacts Subscribe

© Poltrona Frau Debuts Collaboration with Ozwald Boateng at Downtown Design Poltrona Frau, a leader in high-end furniture, and an ambassador of Italian excellence around the world, will unveil its capsule interiors collection in collaboration with celebrated menswear designer Ozwald Boateng during the 10th edition of Downtown Design on 8 November. The Middle East debut of the ‘Culture and Craft’ showcase combines the joyousness of African aesthetics, spirit of British tailoring and the artistry of Italian craftsmanship resulting in a truly unique collection for sophisticated living. Poltrona Frau’s fashion forward collaboration with the veteran Savile Row tailor known for his colorful bespoke patterns and intricate designs, was first presented at London Design Week 2023. The partnership marks the first foray into interiors for Boateng whose transformational impact on menswear fashion spans more than three decades. The Middle East debut of the Culture and Craft collection at Downtown Design provides a first look at the reimagined classics of Poltrona Frau, including the ‘Chester’ sofa, a 1912 design conceived by the company's founder and inspired by Edwardian Chesterfields, and the ‘Vanity Fair’ chair, from 1984, both adorned with distinctive patterns developed by the Boateng. The collection also encompasses lifestyle accessories, textiles and wallpapers adorned with the Kente motif, African-inspired scented candles. A reimagining of the classic African Mancala game bring together craftsmanship, sartorial precision, and product innovation. Commenting on the collection debut, Fahed Ghanim, CEO, Majid Al Futtaim – Lifestyle, operator of Poltrona Frau in the Middle East said: “We are thrilled to participate in this year’s Downtown Design and unveil Poltrona Frau’s fashion forward collaboration with renowned menswear designer Ozwald Boateng. Poltrona Frau has consistently maintained a commitment to innovation and rejuvenation throughout its history and this unique collection cements the brand’s dedication to not only preserve its rich heritage but also remain relevant and sought after in an ever-evolving world of design and aesthetics.” “As the anchor event of Dubai Design Week, Downtown Design celebrates contemporary and high-quality design, and Majid Al Futtaim Lifestyle is proud to raise the bar for innovative design solutions with Poltrona Frau, and continue to bring this unparalleled artisanal experience to Dubai.” The Boateng and Poltrona Frau teams spent more than six months developing a hand embossed leather for the Chester sofas, inspired by traditional Kente cloths, brightly woven fabrics typically worn on formal occasions. Each new Chester sofa was then hand-crafted in Poltrona Frau’s atelier in Tolentino with the same meticulous care as one of Boateng’s handmade Saville Row suits. The ‘Tribal’ pattern, the signature print of Boateng, takes the pride of place across all products in the partnered capsule and pays homage to the British designer’s Ghanaian’s origins, with each colour, pattern and design carefully conceived to convey a strong narrative of sustainability and diversity. Commenting on the Middle East debut of his capsule interiors collection, Ozwald Boateng said: “I’m delighted to personally unveil my collaboration with Poltrona Frau at Downtown Design, a collection which harnesses my exploration of African patterns, and Poltrona Frau’s heritage of Italian design excellence. From the onset, there was an instant connection through craft, construction and attention to detail with Poltrona Frau. The process of making the furniture is very similar to my approach to tailoring, including the choice and development of materials. For me this partnership is really about tradition and finding a new language around that tradition. I hope design enthusiasts in the region will appreciate our shared vision.” The Poltrona Frau and Ozwald Boateng Culture and Craft collection will be on display during the 10th edition of Downtown Design from 8-11th November alongside the Poltrona Frau and Ceccotti Collezioni DUO collection. Following the design fair, all products will be available at the Poltrona Frau Jumeirah Showroom.

I Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown Showcases debuts artworks of Sarah Arnett © The unique project involves the development of unique designs for the hotel and hosts the artists visit to Dubai for the unveiling of the artwork Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown showcases its new artistic project, a collaboration with renowned UK artist, Sarah Arnett. The project continues the hotel’s effort to create artistic sanctuaries for its guests, using distinct wall designs curated from local and international artists. Arnett, an accomplished artist known for her distinctive style and eye for detail, will unveil her work as part of her visit to Dubai in November. Sarah's unique approach to art aligns perfectly with the hotel’s philosophy of delivering one-of-a-kind experiences for its guests. She uses her signature techniques, of intricate patterns, vibrant colours, and masterful storytelling to craft bespoke wallpapers that capture the imagination of her client. Each wall tells a story, creates an atmosphere, and adds an extra layer of depth to the hotel's design. Modern, elegant, and bursting with colour, Sarah’s work draws on her life experiences, growing up in Zimbabwe, travelling through India, and living in the seaside city of Brighton. Her global outlook on life shows in her work and reflects the multinational landscape of Dubai’s art scene. ‘Whatever I turn my hand to, there’s always a narrative running through my work. Influenced by flora, fauna, film, poetry, architecture and of course, travel. I think of my aesthetic as a cocktail of adventure, colour, and pattern, a fantasy style that lets you into an indulgent paradise that leaves you feeling like you’ve woken from a dream,’ comments Sarah Artnett. Fusing art and hospitality, Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown's collaboration with Sarah Arnett exemplifies the hotel's commitment to offering a unique and immersive experience to its guests. It is a celebration of the arts and a testament to the power of design. The art isn't just on the walls; it's in the very fabric of the hotel, and it's an experience that anyone with a passion for art and luxury would appreciate. "Our goal is to provide guests with an immersive storytelling experience, making every nook of our hotel unique. That's why our collaboration with Sarah Arnett was an ideal match, transforming every stay into an unforgettable journey into the dynamic creative world of Sarah Arnett," states Laura Eggleton, General Manager of Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown.

I A Gastronomic Autumn Adventure around the Seto Inland Sea © The Seto Inland Sea Autumn is one of the most beautiful times of year to visit Japan, and it’s also the time of year that gastronomes-in-the-know choose to make their journey. This is a season of exceptional fish and seafood, of rare mushrooms and delicious fruits, with some items only being available for a matter of weeks. Head down to the Seto Inland Sea and its islands and you’re in for a culinary treat, served with a generous side helping of intriguing culture. The Great Noodle Challenge – test your culinary talents at noodle school in Kagawa Prefecture Whether you’re looking for a family challenge or a team-building activity to bring your work colleagues closer together, Kagawa Prefecture’s Nakano Udon School puts culinary talents to the test like no other. Thick, wheat-based udon noodles are a perennially popular dish across Japan, and in this fun, interactive class you’ll learn the secrets behind how to make them, from flour to final dish. And whether you take home the title of champion noodle-maker or not, finishing the class with a delicious bowl of handmade udon noodles to slurp means that everyone’s a winner here. A gastronomic adventure on Awaji Island, where the food is fit for an emperor A 90-minute drive from Osaka, approached by the Akashi Kaikyo bridge, the second-longest suspension bridge in the world, lies Awaji Island, a much-loved destination for gastronomes. The island is one of Japan’s three miketsukuni, lands considered since ancient times to produce food of suitably exceptional quality to grace the tables of the Imperial Court. Each season on Awaji Island brings different delicacies to look forward to. Visit in autumn and winter, when the cooler water temperatures make seafood particularly succulent, and you’ll be able to try Japanese spiny lobster, available in October and November, and blowfish, at its best from November to February. It’s also worth diving into the markets while you’re here to see – and taste – the sheer variety of locally sourced produce. Time your visit for the fourth Sunday of each and you’ll be able to head to the Uzushio Morning Market, held in Fukura Bay in the southern part of the island, and filled with limited-quantity seasonal items. Or head to one of the New Awaji hotels for multi-course seasonal menus featuring ingredients like fatty Kinshu conger eel, Momiji sea bream, and Awaji beef, regarded as some of the best in the world. It’s an autumn culinary journey not to miss. Set sail on a sunset Cruise around the Setouchi Islands The Setouchi Islands are known throughout Japan for their extraordinary beauty, and while there are plenty of places around Awaji Island to gaze on them from land, the best way to experience them is to get out on the water. Ferries connect most islands, but you can’t beat the flexibility of renting your own private cruiser for a Setouchi Island Cruise. Chart a course for the artistic island of Naoshima to see works by Yayoi Kusama, Hiroshi Sugimoto and David Hockney, sail over to Shodoshima to visit the quirky Soy Sauce Museum housed in a historical factory, or head out at sunset for a cruise around the islands when the colours are at their loveliest, and you can enjoy a dinner of freshly caught seafood onboard. Stay at the design-driven Azumi Setoda hotel for a blend of tradition and modernity On the little island of Ikuchijima, famous for its lemons, lies an extraordinary hotel that’s well worth making the journey south for. Housed in the 140-year-old former compound of the influential Horiuchi family, the 22 rooms of Azumi Setoda, each with private onsen-style bath, blend calming Japanese traditional design and materials like washi paper, local granite and cedar wood with the luxury that co-founder Adrian Zecha, the brains behind Aman Hotels, has made his signature. But the hotel is about much more than design and comfort. Stay here and you’ll experience a true immersion into the culture and heritage of the region, with activities like Zen meditation, cultural walking tours, fishing, cycling and kayaking all on offer. The hotel also runs a traditional bathhouse, Yubune, across the street where you can enjoy the waters and the beautiful mosaic-tiled walls while you soak. This is also a place to dive deep into the cuisine of the Setouchi region. At Azumi Setoda’s restaurant, as many ingredients as possible are sourced from within 50 kilometres of the hotel, ensuring a menu that embraces the true flavours of the region.
