History

ARDH Collective began with a bold vision: to turn local waste into high-performance, sustainable materials. Co-founded by designers and architects, including Alhaan Ahmed, Alyina Ahmed, and Maximo Tettamanzi, the company’s flagship innovations, DUNECRETE and DATEFORM, originated as university research and have since garnered acclaim for design-driven environmental impact. Their flagship installation at Dubai Design Week 2022, “From the Dunes & Trees,” made waves in the UAE by blending both materials into immersive architecture. Ardh Collective has continued to shine on global stages - most notably at Expo 2025 Osaka, where they created DATEFORM seats for outdoor furniture at the UAE Pavilion, showcasing the versatility and design-led sustainability of their material in a vibrant international setting. Other celebrated works include UAE Pavilion pins for the Osaka groundbreaking ceremony, bespoke pins and tables for COP28 world leaders, and artistically crafted phone cases, incense holders, and installations using It’s Roasted – Dateform. DUNECRETE has been used in flooring and wall systems across various private residential projects and is now being implemented in public and commercial spaces across the UAE. From visionary university projects to world-expo showcases, ARDH Collective has consistently redefined sustainable design, transforming waste into innovation and building a more sustainable tomorrow, today.
