SOBHA FURNITURE UNVEILS A NEW STANDARD FOR UAE FURNITURE MANUFACTURING WITH ITS DEBUT AT DOWNTOWN DESIGN 2025

Published

on

Sobha Furniture, the newest addition to the prestigious Sobha Group, has officially launched at Downtown Design, unveiling a new standard of large-scale, design-led furniture manufacturing, made in the UAE for the world.

Sobha Furniture is reimagining local furniture manufacturing. With over 73,000 sqm of fully integrated, Industry 4.0-enabled facilities across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, including a 53,000 sqm flagship plant in Dubai Industrial City (the largest of its kind in the region), Sobha Furniture is combining production precision, material control, and delivery capability at a scale the UAE has not previously seen.

This manufacturing power is guided by a global design perspective. The brand’s Milan-based design studio leads design development, material direction, and product refinement, ensuring international design standards inform every detail produced in the UAE.

“We are not entering a market. We are redefining it,” said Anuj Jain, CEO of Sobha Furniture. “There has long been a gap between design ambition and furniture manufacturing capability in this region. We built Sobha Furniture to close that gap. This is a world-class furniture manufacturing ecosystem rooted in the UAE. It is designed to serve developers, interior designers, architects, and projects at a standard previously only accessible abroad.

From Bespoke Vision to Industrial Precision

The launch was inaugurated by Mr. PNC Menon, Founder of Sobha Group, whose entrepreneur journey as an interior decorator began nearly five decades ago.

“My journey began with bringing complete interior visions to life, where bespoke furniture played a central role in the process,” said Mr. Menon. “Sobha Furniture elevates that specific passion and commitment to the finest furniture detail, placing it once again at the forefront. We are applying the essence of that original, one-of-a-kind craftsmanship to a new, modern scale. This is our legacy of meticulous detail, now crafted for the world.”

The Booth: Built with Intention, Defined by Detail

The Sobha Furniture booth at Downtown Design is designed as a calm, structured environment, reflecting the brand’s approach to precision, balance, and design clarity. The space directs attention to the relationship between material, proportion, and use, allowing the products to be experienced with focus.

Sobha Furniture showcases one Kitchen and one Walk-In Closet, both illustrating material discipline and functional refinement. The Walk-In Closet integrates gunmetal aluminium framing with walnut accents and softly illuminated interiors. The Kitchen is anchored by a striking Taj Mahal Quartzite island, paired with walnut cabinetry and gunmetal detailing.  At the centre of the booth, an installation titled ‘The Elements’ brings together wood, metal, texture, and tone in deliberate balance, expressing the brand’s core belief that every detail is intentional.

The booth offers a focused first experience of the Sobha Furniture world, where design, material, and purpose work together to shape elevated living.

Design Talks: Thought Leadership in Practice

As part of the launch programme, Sobha Furniture will host Design Talks on November 6 and 7, featuring:

  • Carlo Magistretti, Chief Strategic Advisor
  • Vincenzo Vinci, Chief Design Officer

The sessions will explore design responsibility, material intention, and the evolving role of advanced furniture manufacturing in shaping interior environments.

One Broker Group (OBG), the UAE’s leading master brokerage and exclusive sales partner, has officially been appointed as the Exclusive Sales Partner in the UAE for AARK Developers’ latest landmark residential project on Al Marjan Island, branded by the globally renowned KARL LAGERFELD fashion house.

The signing ceremony marks a significant milestone for all three parties and reinforces Al Marjan Island’s growing position as a global destination for branded, lifestyle driven real estate investments.

Expressions of Interest are now open, with strong anticipated demand from regional and international buyers seeking design-led residences, lifestyle differentiation, and long-term value in one of the UAE’s fastest growing waterfront destinations.

While Al Marjan Island has previously welcomed branded residential developments, this project distinguishes itself as the first fully managed fashion-house-branded residence on the island, the project sets a new benchmark for professionally managed, design-led living, combining architectural integrity, operational excellence, and long-term investment value.

Strategically positioned with views toward the upcoming Wynn Resort, the development valued at over USD 1.4 billion, offers direct beach access, close proximity to the resort, and more than 50 lifestyle amenities. Anchored by the globally recognized KARL LAGERFELD brand and a curated residential experience, the project benefits from Al Marjan Island’s rapid growth, supporting strong long-term investment potential. Comprising over 600 sea-facing residences, the development represents a landmark waterfront investment of significant scale.

“This project represents an important evolution of KARL LAGERFELD’s residential portfolio in the region,” said Pier Paolo Righi, CEO, KARL LAGERFELD. “It reflects our commitment to translating Karl’s visionary design language into a breathtaking large-scale residential experience.”

Speaking on the partnership, Rahul Kumar Gupta, Chairman of AARK Developers commented: “This project represents a defining moment for Al Marjan Island. Partnering with the KARL LAGERFELD brand allows us to introduce a fully managed, fashion-house-branded residential concept that elevates both the lifestyle offering and investment proposition. Appointing One Broker Group as our exclusive sales partner ensures the project is positioned and executed with the level of market expertise and international reach this development deserves.”

Umar Bin Farooq, Founder & CEO, One Broker Group also expressed strong confidence in the project’s potential: “We are extremely proud to be appointed as the exclusive sales partner for this landmark development. The KARL LAGERFELD brings global credibility and lifestyle appeal, and together with Al Marjan Island’s evolution and proximity to Wynn Resort, this represents a highly compelling investment opportunity for both end-users and investors.

Ramadan nights are meant to be unhurried, a time to gather, reconnect, and create memories. This holy month, Al Hallab invites guests to spend their suhoor doing just that, bringing together traditional games, shisha, and comforting Lebanese food in a setting designed for friends and family to linger long into the night.

From 8 pm onwards throughout Ramadan, guests can head to Al Hallab Garhoud, where backgammon boards, jakaru, and cards set the scene for friendly competition, laughter, and shared moments. Whether it’s a close-knit family gathering or a late-night catch-up with friends, the experience encourages guests to slow down, play together, and enjoy Ramadan nights the traditional way.

Food plays a central role in the suhoor experience, with a menu rooted in Lebanese classics and freshly baked favourites. Guests can share plates of hummus, foul, labneh, halloumi, and eggs, alongside beloved dishes such as Lahme Baajine Traboulsi and Mfaraket Batata with eggs. Freshly prepared manakeesh are perfect for sharing around the table, while Al Hallab’s iconic Kunafa adds a sweet ending to the night.

Game Nights are available exclusively at Al Hallab Garhoud, while the suhoor menu can be enjoyed across all Al Hallab locations throughout Ramadan.

More than just a meal, Al Hallab’s suhoor is about spending meaningful time together playing, eating, talking, and making Ramadan memories that last beyond the month.
