Klekktic and Assembly partner to open a new, larger space in Dubai’s Al Quoz district
Armed with both collectible design and vintage aesthetics, these two homegrown design brands have opened a joint showroom that’s spread across two floors. Both brands bring together modern, customisable furniture and rare, collectible vintage treasures, offering a unique blend of contemporary innovation and timeless craftsmanship. Klekktic and Assembly share a common vision: to deliver exceptional, accessible and sustainable design experiences that cater to discerning enthusiasts and collectors across the GCC.
Established in 2021 by Harvard graduate Heba El Habashy, Klekktic addresses the region’s growing demand for stylish, affordable and customisable furniture. By partnering with local manufacturers, the brand offers versatile indoor and outdoor pieces, tailored to customer preferences with exclusive upholstery options, luxurious finishes and a streamlined delivery process. Klekktic’s commitment to sustainability and its innovative trade programme further enhance its mission to revolutionise furniture shopping in the Middle East.
Assembly, founded by Mateen Shah, is a concept vintage store showcasing an expertly curated collection of rare furniture, décor and collectibles sourced from around the world, with a unique and meaningful story behind each piece. Drawing on over 20 years of expertise in sourcing and strategy, Shah has created a platform that celebrates the artistry and history behind each piece. Highlights of Assembly’s debut collection include iconic designs like the Yasu Sasamoto mirror, the Barcelona day bed by Mies van der Rohe for Knoll, the Eames lounge chair with ottoman by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller, sculptural Rispal lamps, ethereal Murano glass lighting and innovative chairs by Andrea Branzi for Cassina. The brand’s commitment to sustainability aligns with its ethos of preserving and reimagining timeless designs for modern living.
The Al Quoz showroom reflects the synergy between Klekktic and Assembly, combining their distinctive aesthetics to offer a cohesive design destination.
