An interview with Huda Lighting at Downtown Design
During Downtown Design, we interviewed the team at Huda Lighting in addition to designers Tom Dixon and Lee Broom.
At Huda Lighting’s Downtown Design booth during Dubai Design Week 2025, we interviewed the Founder and Managing Director Khaled B. Alami on the founding of the brand and its subsequent success, expansion and future plans. We spoke to visiting product designers Lee Broom and Tom Dixon at the booth, both of which had some of their most exquisite collections on display. We also interviewed Yeghya Mardirossian, Group Head of Showrooms on the secret to delivering a consistent standard of quality to their clients, and to Romy Abi Warde, Dubai Showroom Manager on the curation of the booth beyond products into an experience that integrates sound, light control and lighting elements.
