Here’s what awaits at the OBEGI Home showcase at Dubai Design Week
OBEGI Home, the region’s leading destination for luxury residential interiors, will mark Dubai Design Week 2025 with a dynamic programme that connects today’s leading design trends with the visionary perspectives shaping tomorrow’s interiors.

“Dubai Design Week has become an essential moment on the regional calendar, and as a family-owned company, design has always been deeply personal for us. Every brand we represent and every piece we select tells a story of craftsmanship and integrity. Our role is to bridge those stories with the lifestyles and aspirations of our clients to bring the very best of international design to the Middle East,” said Karine Obegi, CEO of OBEGI Home.

At the heart of this year’s participation is OBEGI Home’s 120-square metre multi-brand showcase at Downtown Design (stand C10). Conceived as an immersive journey through the latest global trends, the exhibition reflects the evolving taste of design professionals and property owners in the Middle East, and provides a forecast of what’s to come. The curated selection of furniture from the retailer’s extensive portfolio of over 100 brands will feature several novelties and iconic pieces from global powerhouse brands. Notable additions include: the Elio collection from Tribù designed by famed studio Yabu Pushelberg, the Fragments chandelier from BOMMA, a novelty design constructed from recycled glass; the Reflex bathtub from antoniolupi, which turns heads using the brand’s patented Cristalmood material; and the Koan door from Lualdi, designed by celebrated Chinese design firm Kokaistudios.

OBEGI Home will also celebrate the Downtown Design debut of its exclusive brand Porada, a distinguished Italian name known for its mastery of solid wood and sustainable craftsmanship since 1968. The ‘Porada House’ concept will be an immersive, fully furnished environment that embodies warmth, elegance and artisanal integrity. This marks a significant milestone for Porada’s expansion in the Middle East and reflects OBEGI Home’s role in introducing international design icons to the region.

A highlight of OBEGI Home’s Dubai Design Week programme will be the participation of acclaimed architect and designer Monica Armani, who will share her perspectives on designing refined spaces and products both for interiors and exteriors. Armani has designed numerous pieces for Tribù, and her 2025 novelty Cesta lounge chair will be on display at the Downtown Design showcase.
As a final element of OBEGI Home’s programme, its multi-brand showroom and Poliform showroom, both located on Jumeirah Beach Road, will host an engaging calendar of events, including panel discussions and behind-the-scenes presentations, adding an additional layer of community interaction.
The showroom reopens as a refined, contemporary destination celebrating Italian craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless design.
