Saudi National Pavilion at London Design Biennale 2025: “Good Water” Invites Us to Rethink Our Relationship With Water

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Saudi Arabia returns to the London Design Biennale 2025 with an exhibition entitled Good Water, from 5–29 June 2025 at Somerset House. Commissioned by Saudi Arabia’s Architecture and Design Commission, this year’s pavilion is curated by design collective including Alaa Tarabzouni, Aziz Jamal, Dur Kattan and Fahad bin Naif, who bring together their multidisciplinary backgrounds in architecture, design and the arts, for an exhibition that questions, disrupts, and reimagines systems of access and distribution of water, and our relationship with it.

The curatorial concept of Good Water responds to this year’s theme for the London Design Biennale, ‘Surface Reflections’, which explores how ideas are fuelled by our internal experiences, external influences and personal histories. The Saudi Pavilion is defined by a sabeel – a free water fountain, a symbol of hospitality deeply rooted in the Saudi Arabian tradition. Traditionally, these fountains are scattered across the country, providing water to passersby embodying a communal ethos of generosity. Yet, within the context of this exhibition, the sabeel is no longer just a gesture of goodwill, but a question: Who pays for ‘free’ water? What does it truly cost? And, crucially, if the burden falls on someone else, does it not, in some form, cost everyone?

The sabeel, as a concept, carries a deep contradiction: while it offers water freely, the reality is that the water is not free at all. Every sip is made possible by a complex system of labour, energy, and economics. Potable water is extracted through costly processes, imported in plastic bottles, or transported through networks that demand maintenance and oversight. The cost is distributed across various actors – governments, corporations, workers – but ultimately, it is a cost that all must bear. Even those who do not pay for water directly still share in its long–term consequences. The sabeel in the pavilion, therefore, is more than a functional object: it is a symbol of interdependence. It highlights the tension between generosity and cost, between access and consequence.

The Saudi National Pavilion is a flagship initiative of the Architecture and Design Commission, supported by the Ministry of Culture, reflecting Saudi Arabia's commitment to contributing to international design discourse and promoting sustainable, innovative solutions.

FDA Issues Nyxoah an Approvable Letter for its Genio® System

Mont–Saint–Guibert, Belgium – March 26, 2025, 8:00am CET / 3:00am ET – Nyxoah SA (Euronext Brussels/Nasdaq: NYXH) (“Nyxoah” or the “Company”), that develops breakthrough treatment alternatives for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) through neuromodulation, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an Approvable Letter regarding the Company's Pre–Market Approval (PMA) application for the Genio® system.

The Approvable Letter means that Nyxoah’s application for marketing the device in the United States substantially meets the requirements of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the FDA’s PMA implementing regulations codified at 21 C.F.R. Part 814, and the FDA will approve the application subject to satisfactory completion of a manufacturing facilities, methods and controls review. The Company will work closely with the FDA to address these requests and is committed to bringing this innovative therapy to U.S. patients.

“The FDA has reviewed our submission and determined that it substantially meets the requirements for approval: the FDA’s Approvable Letter included no further questions on the clinical data or biocompatibility that support the submission,” commented Olivier Taelman, Nyxoah’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are still on the right track to make Genio available to U.S. patients suffering from OSA.”

This decision does not impact Genio's CE Mark or ongoing commercial activities in Europe, where the device is approved for both Complete Concentric Collapse (CCC) and non–CCC patients.
