A New Chapter in the GCC
Recent™ Launches New Hub in Abu Dhabi’s TwoFour54
Today, we’re proud to share that Recent™ is expanding to the United Arab Emirates, opening a new hub in Abu Dhabi’s TwoFour54, the region’s leading home for creative industries.
This move isn’t just about geography — it’s about aligning with a vision. The UAE’s embrace of design as a symbol of boundless thinking mirrors our own ethos. Abu Dhabi isn’t simply a new market for us; it’s a cultural force we’re excited to collaborate with and contribute to.
Founded in the Netherlands, Recent™ has had the privilege of working with global names like Google, Trivago, Unilever, Vice, Atlantic Records, Universal Records, CBRE, Rijksmuseum and many more. Along the way, our practice has always been rooted in cultural context and community building. Our beliefs and practice will now be available for partners across the GCC.
“Expanding to the UAE allows us to collaborate even closer with those shaping the future of the region.”

From our Amsterdam studio, we’ll continue to serve clients in Europe, the Caribbean, and the US. Our UAE office will focus on collaborations within the Gulf region, working with brands and institutions ready to take their brands to new heights.
This expansion is a new chapter in our story, but the mission remains unchanged — to design worlds that inspire, connect, and spark possibility.
