Sri Lankan fashion label Tropic Of Linen recently opened the doors to its second boutique, located at The Shoppes at City of Dreams.

For over a decade, linen has formed the core of the brand’s inspiration and business ethos. Its textures, movement, and natural irregularities carry through the striking interior of Tropic Of Linen’s newly opened second store. Large sculptural forms in wind-worn sandstone sit against softer curves, while a grand olive tree anchors the heart of the store, reaching up toward a skylight and giving life to the entire space.

Drawing on her background in fine art and design, co-founder Minha Akram envisioned a layered, sensory interior intended to draw people into the world of Tropic Of Linen and invite them to linger.

Key panelists demonstrated thermal and acoustic imaging as tools to detect electrical faults, mechanical wear, and compressed-air leaks before they escalate into costly breakdowns

Global tech firm FLIR and local partner Marlbo Trading Company are stepping up efforts to help Sri Lankan industries shift from reactive repairs to predictive maintenance. At a recent seminar in Colombo, they showcased thermal and acoustic imaging as tools to detect electrical faults, mechanical wear, and compressed-air leaks before they escalate into costly breakdowns.

FLIR experts stressed that early detection improves energy efficiency, extends equipment life, and reduces unplanned downtime – key priorities as local plants face rising operational pressures. Acoustic imaging, in particular, was highlighted for quickly pinpointing invisible air leaks that waste energy.
