Bring local luxury to the table
Dubai's Comptoir 102 has launched their own tableware design.
Perfect for any contemporary holiday soiree, Dubai’s Comptoir 102 has just launched their own tableware design, adding to the ever-expanding in-house brand, Collection 102. The fresh new ceramic tableware is completely handmade so no one plate, bowl or cup is ever the same, making it an ideal gift.
Designated by fashion and travel guides as one one of the top concept stores in the region since 2012, the evolving in-house brand Collection 102 is designed by Emma Sawko meets Mathilde Danglade. It features a mix of jewelry, deco and fashion in a space conceived as a home -with its kitchen, lounge, garden and terrace, combining fashion, homeware and organic café.
The store, nestled in the heart of old Jumeirah, between sea and palm trees, is a little sanctuary away from the malls. The original building, inspired from 70’s Californian villas with Moorish accents, has been entirely redesigned by the owners.
