SPOKANE, Wash., May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a significant move to enhance its creative offerings, TWOPAGES Curtains, a provider of high-quality, stylish custom window treatments, has partnered with industry expert Amy Switzer, known for her extensive experience in home textiles and luxury design. This collaboration marks the launch of an exclusive collection merging eclectic styles with timeless luxury. Simultaneously, TWOPAGES officially opens submissions for its inaugural TWOPAGES X Design Contest 2025, a global competition aimed at discovering the next wave of visionary textile design.
A Design Voice Rooted in Heritage and Modernity
Amy Switzer's career reflects a remarkable journey from textile design to interior aesthetics. Her time in New York City and her entrepreneurial venture in manufacturing have endowed her with a distinctive viewpoint on design, one that harmonizes artistry with functionality. The new collection features the slogan "Where eclectic soul meets timeless luxury," drawing inspiration from Switzer's rich textile background combined with high-end design sensibilities. Key elements include jewel-toned velvets, modern neutral palettes, and artistic textures that express both classic elegance and bold innovation while maintaining sustainability.
"This collection blends the old-world charm with modern flair," said Amy Switzer, encapsulating the spirit of this unique collaboration.
The Amy Switzer x TWOPAGES collaboration is the third release under TWOPAGES's Ambassador Program, a platform for co-creating product lines with respected voices in the design community. Previous collections include the Sara Le x TWOPAGES series, which championed approachable luxury with a focus on crisp, minimalist design for the modern home; and the Stefana Silber x TWOPAGES series, which draws inspiration from nature to highlight gentle textures paired with everyday elegance.
The success of these collaborations underscores a win-win mechanism driven by content creation alongside product co-development, reflecting a shared foundation: authentic design perspectives brought to life through TWOPAGES's industry-leading manufacturing and large-scale deployment capabilities. Each collection responds to the rising consumer demand for realness, customization, and premium quality.

ALULA, Saudi Arabia, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today marks the official opening of Desert X AlUla 2026, the landmark fourth edition of the international, open-air biennial exhibition. Arts AlUla, in collaboration with Desert X, welcomes visitors to experience a stellar line-up of Saudi and international multi-generational artists whose site-responsive earthworks, sculptures, and installations will engage in a powerful dialogue with the awe-inspiring landscapes and layered heritage of AlUla.
As a premier destination rich in ancient history and breathtaking nature, AlUla, located in Northwest Saudi Arabia, solidifies its position on the global stage as a dynamic, emerging land art destination with Desert X AlUla, the region's first public art biennale, and a key highlight of the AlUla Arts Festival.
The 2026 edition of Desert X AlUla brings together 11 acclaimed artists whose diverse works reflect a wide spectrum of ideas, materials, and traditions. From monumental kinetic sculpture to sound-based explorations above and below ground, each commission is deeply rooted in relationships to AlUla's distinctive environment, further cementing Desert X AlUla's reputation as a globally significant platform for site-responsive land art.
Desert X AlUla runs until February 28, 2026, as a cornerstone of the annual AlUla Arts Festival. Curated by Wejdan Reda, Zoé Whitley, with artistic direction by Neville Wakefield, and Raneem Farsi, its fourth edition explores 'Space Without Measure.' Inspired by Kahlil Gibran, the theme fosters contemplation of imagination within AlUla's natural settings. The exhibition, set in the desert canyons of AlUla, serves as a pre-opening programme for Wadi AlFann, offering a pivotal glimpse into AlUla's plans to create a permanent land art 'Valley of the Arts.'
Hamad Alhomiedan, Director of Arts & Creative Industries at the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU), said: "At Desert X AlUla 2026, audiences will engage with art that deeply converses with AlUla's unique landscapes and rich heritage. These compelling commissions highlight AlUla's dynamic transformation into a major global destination, where ancient and contemporary expressions converge. This exhibition is part of our broader revitalisation of AlUla as a culturally rich destination to live, work and visit and integral to positioning AlUla in the global dialogue of contemporary art and as a precursor to monumental projects like Wadi AlFann."

About AlUla and Arts AlUla
Located 1,100 km from Riyadh, in North-West Saudi Arabia, AlUla is a place of extraordinary natural and human heritage. The vast area, covering 22,561km², includes a lush oasis valley, towering sandstone mountains and ancient cultural heritage sites dating back thousands of years to when the Lihyan and Nabataean kingdoms reigned.
The most well-known and recognised site in AlUla is Hegra, the principal southern city of the Nabataean Kingdom and Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. AlUla is also home to ancient Dadan, the capital of the Dadan and Lihyan Kingdoms and considered to be one of the most developed 1st millennium BCE cities of the Arabian Peninsula, and Jabal Ikmah, an open air library of hundreds of inscriptions and writings in many different languages. AlUla Old Town Village, a labyrinth of more than 900 mudbrick homes was developed from at least the 12th century and has been revitalised as the vibrant hub for visitors and residents.
The creation of Arts AlUla within The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) is a commitment to crafting the next chapters in a millennia of artistic creation – celebrating cultural inheritance and shaping a future inspired by artists built be artists. The work of Arts AlUla seeks to preserve this legacy: fuse the old with the new; the local with the international, keeping the arts central to the spirit of AlUla as a place of extraordinary natural and human heritage.
Wadi AlFann, meaning 'Valley of the Arts,' will be a global cultural destination for land art, unveiling from 2028 onwards, where era-defining works by artists from around the world will be permanently sited in the monumental landscape of AlUla, the extraordinary desert region of north-west Saudi Arabia.
