id50 2025 – Aljoud Lootah
Meet Aljoud Lootah, one of the top product designers in the MENA region
Aljoud Lootah is an acclaimed Emirati designer with a visionary approach to modern luxury. Based in Dubai, she leads Aljoud Lootah Design, a studio where traditional craftsmanship meets contemporary aesthetics in a harmonious fusion of innovation and elegance.
The studio’s portfolio spans diverse design disciplines, including furniture, lighting and object design. Lootah’s masterful use of textures and materials distinguishes her work, resulting in the creation of sophisticated, one-of-a-kind pieces. Her recent Falaj collection, featuring sofas and tables, draws inspiration from the UAE’s verdant oases. These designs pay homage to the organic curves, separations and reconnections of falaj water streams – a modern tribute to nature’s fluidity.
Rooted in cultural heritage, Lootah’s design philosophy embraces a balance of tradition and experimentation. She consistently explores novel forms and techniques, crafting pieces that seamlessly merge functionality with artistic expression. Through her studio’s creations, Lootah has established herself as a trailblazer in the design world, earning widespread recognition for her ability to imbue contemporary design with timeless elegance.
