The Art of Curated Living
OBEGI Home designs a breathtaking mansion on Jumeirah Bay Island through thoughtful curation and bespoke elements
By blending over 20 globally renowned brands with uniquely customised pieces, OBEGI Home has created a breathtaking mansion where every corner tells a story of unique and personalised design, resulting in a home that is both visually striking and deeply meaningful. Every space within this exceptional property serves a distinct purpose, yet a carefully curated aesthetic ensures harmony throughout. Entertainment was a key consideration at this four-floored residence, with an expansive outdoor area on the ground floor and an entire rooftop level dedicated to hosting. Indoors and out, the design promotes fluidity, inviting natural light and effortless transitions between spaces.
The kitchen and wardrobes feature exquisite craftsmanship by Poliform, while the interiors are adorned with statement pieces from Flexform, Tribù, OKHA, Secolo, Gabriel Scott and Elie Saab Maison, among others. Each element was handpicked to align with the homeowner’s refined vision. Customisation played a central role in shaping the home’s identity. The striking twelve-seat dining table was meticulously designed in Italy through OBEGI Home’s extensive network of artisans. Even the rugs throughout the residence are one-of-a-kind, with intricate hand-drawn designs conceptualised by the OBEGI team and crafted by expert carpet artisans. The curation process transforms a house into a home that is beautifully tailored to its owners’ lifestyles. Every detail, from statement furniture to custom-crafted accents, serves as an extension of their story, elevating the art of personalised living to new heights.
