Paris (France), May 26:  Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, today announced that its SpaceLogic KNX solution can now be integrated with Samsung SmartThings for residential settings and SmartThings Pro* for enterprise-scale buildings and multi-site operations. 

Samsung has streamlined its certification process, enabling Schneider Electric to rapidly bring its full SpaceLogic KNX portfolio into the SmartThings ecosystem. As a result, Schneider Electric is expanding the range of connected devices available to homeowners and facility managers through a single platform.

The integration enables users to monitor and control SpaceLogic KNX devices through the SmartThings ecosystem, providing a single interface to manage building functions such as lighting, blinds, temperature control, sensors, and energy systems. This empowers users to optimize energy consumption across residential and commercial environments, enabling them to reduce buildings’ carbon footprint through smart automation.   

“Interoperability has become increasingly important in both residential and commercial environments, where customers expect connected systems to work together seamlessly,” said Laurent Roussel, SVP Commercial & Channel at Schneider Electric. “Integrating SpaceLogic KNX with Samsung SmartThings expands how customers can manage their connected devices, personalize their automation experience and gain greater visibility into energy usage across homes and buildings.” 

Centralizing Energy and Commercial Building Management

Managing energy and building systems across multiple commercial locations has traditionally meant navigating a fragmented landscape of products from different manufacturers, siloed data, and disconnected controls, leaving facility managers with no single view of what’s happening across their portfolio. 

The SpaceLogic KNX integration with SmartThings Pro enables facility managers to monitor and manage energy consumption for multiple commercial locations through centralized dashboards. SpaceLogic KNX devices can now be integrated into SmartThings Pro to monitor lighting, blinds, HVAC, occupancy, and energy consumption across commercial spaces.

Centralizing Connected Home Control

Smart home technology has delivered remarkable capability, but managing it has often meant juggling a growing number of separate apps, incompatible systems, and devices that don’t talk to each other. For homeowners, home builders, and residential contractors, that fragmentation has been one of the biggest barriers to realizing the full potential of connected home investments. 

But now, the integration enables the management of SpaceLogic KNX solutions and other connected home products within the SmartThings application. This gives homeowners a more centralized way to control connected devices like smart appliances and electronics like TVs, simplifying day-to-day management of comfort, lighting, and household energy use.

Jaipur , May 27 : In contemporary interiors, texture has become one of the defining elements of luxury. Beyond colour and pattern, designers today are increasingly focused on how surfaces interact with light, movement, and touch. Rugs, in particular, have evolved from flat decorative pieces into highly tactile design elements that add depth, softness, and architectural character to a space.

What often appears effortless in a finished rug, however, is the result of highly engineered craftsmanship.

Behind every textured rug lies a complex interplay of weaving techniques, yarn combinations, pile variations, and finishing processes. From loop and cut pile constructions to carving, high-low weaving, and mixed material surfaces, modern rug texture is carefully constructed rather than accidental.

“Texture today is one of the most important aspects of rug design,” says Deepak Khanna, Founder of Man Made Rugs. “People are looking for rugs that create dimension and atmosphere within a space. Achieving that requires a deep understanding of technique, material behaviour, and craftsmanship.”

One of the most widely used methods in textured rug making is the combination of loop and cut pile weaving. Loop pile retains the yarn in its looped form, creating a structured and slightly raised surface, while cut pile produces a softer and smoother finish. By combining both techniques within a single rug, artisans can create subtle contrasts in height, density, and tactile feel.

This variation allows patterns to emerge through texture rather than obvious colour shifts, aligning with the growing preference for tonal and understated interiors.

High-low weaving further enhances this sense of depth. Through carefully controlled pile height differences, certain sections of the rug sit higher while others recede, creating sculptural surfaces that respond differently to light and movement. In minimalist interiors especially, these nuanced details bring warmth and complexity without overwhelming the space visually.

Material innovation also plays a significant role in contemporary textured rugs. Designers are increasingly blending wool with silk, bamboo silk, linen, and other speciality yarns to create layered tactile effects. Matte and reflective fibres interact differently with light, allowing surfaces to shift subtly throughout the day.

The result is a rug that feels visually dynamic despite using restrained colours and minimal patterning.

Carving techniques add another layer of sophistication. After weaving, artisans often hand-carve sections of the rug to sharpen patterns, enhance depth, or create fluid transitions between textures. This finishing process requires precision and craftsmanship because even small inconsistencies can alter the visual balance of the rug.

Importantly, these innovations are not replacing handmade craftsmanship. Instead, they are expanding its possibilities.

According to Deepak Khanna, Founder of Man Made Rugs, modern rug making is increasingly defined by the balance between artisanal skill and contemporary design thinking.

“Handmade rugs today are evolving far beyond traditional motifs,” he explains. “There is a growing focus on texture, material layering, and surface experimentation. The craftsmanship remains deeply rooted in hand processes, but the design language is becoming more architectural and globally relevant.”

This shift reflects broader movements within contemporary interiors, where subtlety is becoming more valuable than ornamentation. Rather than relying on bold patterns or excessive decoration, designers are using texture to create emotional warmth and spatial depth.

As a result, the technical construction of rugs is becoming just as important as their visual appearance.

The future of rug design is likely to be defined not by louder aesthetics, but by more intelligent craftsmanship. In that future, texture will continue to play a central role, quietly shaping how spaces feel, absorb light, and create comfort in increasingly refined ways.

May 27 : Tucked into Delhi’s dining landscape as a modern wine and espresso bar, La Tarté has always been about more than a meal; it’s about the hour spent lingering over something good. This summer, the brand deepens that intent with a new seasonal menu drawn from the unhurried café culture of New York, Florence, Nice, and Milan, reimagined for a Delhi audience that knows exactly what it wants from a table.

The Summer Menu arrives as a full sensory experience; lemon-inspired décor installations, Mediterranean-toned aesthetics, and a spread designed to carry guests from a slow morning coffee into an easy afternoon of wine and conversation. Live stations and interactive pasta-making experiences sit alongside the food menu, making the visit as much about participation as it is about dining.

On the plate, the kitchen leans into the season’s best; Watermelon & Feta Salad, Mango Avocado Salad, and freshly handmade pasta selections anchor a menu built on bright, balanced flavours. The Mango Tres Leches rounds out the dessert offering with the kind of indulgence that still feels appropriate for the heat, while the Boozy Tiramisu has quietly become a table favourite.

The beverage list is where summer really takes shape. Iced coffees, matcha-forward coolers, and wine pairings have been crafted to move through the day;  whether the occasion calls for a mid-morning Coconut Cloud Matcha, an afternoon Iced Shaken Espresso, or a Vanilla Cold Foam Latte as the light shifts. Ingredients like mango purée, coconut cream, cold-brew espresso, and seasonal fruit run consistently through the list, keeping things cohesive and considered.

Speaking to the vision behind the menu, Raayyaana Arora of La Tarté shares:

 “For us, summer is less about just introducing seasonal dishes and more about creating a feeling. We wanted La Tarté’s Summer Menu to reflect the kind of café and wine culture we experienced while travelling; where people spend hours over iced coffees, fresh food, conversations, and wine in spaces that feel effortless yet elevated.”

Throughout the season, the menu will continue to evolve; limited-edition beverages, curated wine evenings, and pasta-making workshops under the Love Station concept will keep things dynamic well beyond launch. The Summer Menu is available daily across La Tarté outlets from 10 AM to 11 PM, with an average spend of INR 2,000–₹3,500 for two for the full dining experience, and INR 500–₹800 for two over coffee.

Hotels will be able to request, track and bill Uber rides directly from Mews, turning a manual front desk task into a connected workflow and a new source of ancillary revenue. 

AMSTERDAM and NEW YORK, NY  – May 27 – Mews, the hospitality operating system, has announced a strategic partnership with Uber to embed ride booking, real-time tracking and integrated billing directly into the Mews platform.

Uber announced GO-GET 2026 last month, organizing the app around three actions: go, get and travel. Alongside a series of partnerships on the rider side, the Mews integration extends the same direction into the hotel’s property management system (PMS), giving hoteliers a way to offer Uber rides as part of the guest stay rather than as a transaction that happens outside of their walls.

At Mews Unfold on May 27, 2026 in Amsterdam, Christophe Peymirat, Head of Uber for Business EMEA, and Mike Coscetta, President of Mews, will take the stage together to discuss how collaboration between travel technology, hotels and companies outside the traditional travel sector is reshaping the guest experience.

Transportation bookings are one of the most common guest requests and one of the most manual processes in hotel operations. Mews research from 2026 found that guests arrange their own transportation and spend an average of $50 on it per stay, money that bypasses the hotel entirely.1 With this integration hoteliers can drive additional ancillary revenue by offering this service to guests.

This highlights a significant opportunity: Guests today want a ‘frictionless’ stay where the hotel solves every problem for them, not just the room. By bringing these moments together, this integration allows hotels to move beyond just accommodation and deliver the fully connected experience guests are looking for.

Once live, the integration will allow staff to request a ride for guests with just a few clicks, to track the vehicle in real time and to process the payment automatically, all within Mews. Airport pickups and last-minute changes will be visible and manageable from within the Mews platform.

“Hotels put enormous effort into the guest experience within their four walls,” said Christophe Peymirat, Head of Uber for Business EMEA. “The journey to and from the property is just as much a part of that experience. Connecting Uber’s network directly into the Mews platform is a practical step toward giving hotels visibility and control over something they have been managing manually for decades.”

The same logic applies to hotel teams: Staff transportation for late and night shifts gives hotels a simple way to arrange safe, reliable journeys home for team members and improve staff satisfaction.

The integration is being built to include:

• Staff-initiated and guest-initiated ride booking, available via the Mews platform through accounts and the guest portal • Live vehicle tracking and trip confirmations, so staff and guests know exactly where a ride is • Automatic billing to the guest folio through Mews Payments, removing manual reconciliation and keeping every transaction inside the same platform • Full visibility for the hotel regarding all ride activity, and full transparency for the customer regarding costs • Insights into guest transportation patterns to help hotels plan better and manage services across the guest journey

“Embedding Uber into the Mews Operating System means hotels can offer transportation services as part of the stay and add it to one unified guest bill, making it part of the guest relationship rather than a separate transaction. Transportation is one of the clearest examples of a regular guest requirement that hotels are best positioned to provide but not currently set up to do seamlessly,” said Mike Coscetta, President of Mews.

The Mews and Uber integration is in development, with a pilot launching this year. Further details will be shared directly with customers and partners ahead of launch.

The entire Unfold program will be available to stream live and for free, with the session, “Vision for the industry – Uber” running on Wednesday, May 27, 11:50 AM to 12:05 PM CET.

Africa Rising Music Conference (ARMC) 2026 concluded this past weekend at Constitution Hill in Johannesburg, delivering two days of forward-thinking conversations, international networking, and cultural exchange that further cemented ARMC’s position as one of Africa’s most important music industry platforms. 

Bringing together over 1000 artists, executives, entrepreneurs, policymakers, creatives and innovators from over 15 countries over the two conference days, ARMC 2026 focused not only on conversations about the future of music – but on creating tangible opportunities and real industry outcomes for African artists. The star-studded line-up and attendees featured leading voices from music, culture and government, including Elaine, TRESOR, Kim Jayde and Janesh, alongside key institutional representation from the Limpopo Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, the German Embassy Pretoria, the Australian High Commission Pretoria and the Embassy of Sweden in Pretoria.
One of the conference’s most significant announcements was the official launch of the Music Mentorship Program for South African Artists, a new collaboration between the German Embassy Pretoria, ARMC and Paradise Worldwide. Officially unveiled during the conference by representatives from all three organisations, the initiative is designed to bridge the gap between creativity and professional music industry development for South African artists.

“Music and diplomacy share many traits. They connect people. They foster collaboration. When successful, they create something bigger than the sum of its parts. ARMC’s Mentorship Programme for South African Artists is about just that: connections between German and South African artists to create something beautiful. As the German Embassy, we are glad to be part of this.” – Marten Menger, Head of the Cultural Department at the German Embassy Pretoria.

Applications for the programme are now officially open, with five selected artists set to receive comprehensive support for an upcoming release project including professional mastering, release strategy support, one-on-one international mentorship paired with established German music industry professionals and artists, EP and single artwork design, professional press shots, in-studio promotional content production and visual storytelling support. The launch marked a major step toward building stronger international creative exchange between South Africa and Germany while investing directly in the next generation of South African talent.
 
Another standout moment at ARMC 2026 was the introduction of the Berlin AI Think Tank in Africa, which created a critical platform for discussions around artificial intelligence, creator consent, licensing, attribution and fair remuneration within the rapidly evolving music landscape. With local and international stakeholders in attendance – including SAMPRA, CAPASSO, AIxchange, the Association for Electronic Music (AFEM), Fraunhofer IDMT and others – the Think Tank initiated critical conversations around the next steps toward a more independent and sustainable Pan-African AI ecosystem for music and the creative industries.

ARMC 2026 also strengthened international cultural ties to Australia, the official international focus country of this year’s edition, through the SA Meets Australia Networking Reception, presented in collaboration with the Australian High Commission Pretoria, Creative Australia and Alchemy Music. The reception featured a special live performance by Australian artist DOBBY, whose appearance became one of the conference’s defining moments when he invited emerging South African rappers onto the stage for an improvised freestyle collaboration – creating an authentic and spontaneous exchange between young artists from both countries. The moment reflected ARMC’s broader vision of fostering meaningful global collaboration through music and culture.

“ARMC provides an important platform to bring together artists and industry from around Africa and the world to exchange experiences, knowledge and ideas. Alchemy Music is proud to bring the first Australian delegation to the event, highlighting common challenges and opportunities as well as showcasing the extraordinary talent of First Nation rapper DOBBY and alt-r&b/ambient electronica singer, songwriter and producer Milan Ring.” – Frank Rodi, Alchemy Music

Beyond the conference programme, ARMC 2026 delivered a dynamic live music experience with performances and showcases from artists including Henrik Schwarz (DE), Young Duragg (ZA), Mörda (ZA), Doowap (ZA), Rouge (ZA), HARUNA (UK), TIMANTI (UK) and many more, celebrating the diversity and global influence of contemporary African music culture.

“Having hosted a workshop on female empowerment at last year’s conference, returning to ARMC this year as an artist was incredibly special,” said Rouge. “I’ve made so many meaningful connections through this platform and witnessed firsthand how important these spaces are for African creatives. ARMC is more than just a conference, it’s a growing movement that the global music industry should be paying close attention to.”

The success of ARMC 2026 was made possible through the support of headline partner Paradise Worldwide as well as Mint Digital Services, Johnnie Walker AfroExchange, Jaecoo, SAMRO, Ray-Ban, KFC, SAMPRA, Billboard Africa, Hype Magazine, Music In Africa, Trace, Resident Advisor,  sponsors, speakers, artists, delegates, media and collaborators who contributed to making this year’s edition one of the conference’s most impactful and internationally connected gatherings to date.
ARMC 2027 dates have officially been announced – save the date for 21st & 22nd May 2027. Early bird tickets for next year’s conference are now officially available on Quicket.
