Furniture buying guide: Where to shop for your Dubai home
Furnishing a luxury home in Dubai should be an inspiring journey, not a stressful task. With an array of options available, knowing where to source refined, high-quality furniture is essential to creating an interior that feels elevated, cohesive, and personal. At Elementa, we don’t design holiday lets or smaller apartments, we curate high-end residences, such as five-bedroom apartments, penthouses, and bespoke villas that require a tailored and considered approach.
As a boutique Dubai interior design studio, Elementa partners with leading global brands and local artisans to help clients transform their space with timeless elegance and functionality. In this guide, we share our expert-approved recommendations for where to shop for furniture in Dubai—along with tips on how we help clients navigate the process with ease.
1. Minotti
Renowned for its timeless elegance, Minotti is one of our top choices for luxury living. Their Freeman sofa, particularly in soft beige with a brown leather end, offers a harmonious blend of comfort and sophistication. It’s equally inviting in a lounge or upright position—perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. A true forever piece that never falls out of fashion.
2. Baxter
For clients who appreciate bold statement pieces, Baxter is an ideal fit. Natural materials like rustic wood and leather define their aesthetic. We often propose the Olaf lounge chair—a robust, characterful piece available in a range of finishes. It’s more than a chair; it’s a conversation starter.
3. Cassina
A celebrated name in contemporary design, Cassina offers pieces that marry technical artistry with creative flair. We’re particularly drawn to the Coral vases—sculptural accents that add personality to any surface—and the Aral rug, which brings playfulness through its rich texture and artisan detail.

4. Poltrona Frau
With decades of heritage, Poltrona Frau brings timeless Italian craftsmanship to modern interiors. We often incorporate the Duo Pedestal coffee tables—crafted from solid ash and marble—and the Lepli armchair, a soft yet structured piece ideal for sophisticated dining areas.
5. Poliform
A trusted brand in our design vocabulary, Poliform consistently delivers sleek, architectural forms. The Kensington dining table, with its sculptural base and marble top, adds a commanding presence to any dining room
6. Light & Lives
This standout UAE-based lighting brand crafts beautifully considered pieces. We especially love the Rosaline ceiling pendant, which hangs in our own Elementa office. With its glass structure and rustic fabric straps, it effortlessly blends refinement and warmth.
7. Obegi
Obegi’s Dubai showroom is a regular stop for our team. They offer an expansive collection of luxury furniture, joinery, and kitchens. One standout is the Petra wall shelf—minimal yet impactful, made of steel and sandblasted glass for a light, airy elegance.
8. The Rug Company
A recent discovery we’ve come to admire, The Rug Company is all about rich textures and craftsmanship. Their Spire Birch rug—hand-knotted and using raised pile techniques—offers a luxurious softness and visual depth that completes any living space.
Bespoke Furniture: Crafted to Fit your Vision
In addition to these premium brands, we also work closely with Dubai-based artisans and bespoke workshops. Whether you need tailored dimensions, exclusive materials, or sculptural one-of-a-kind shapes, custom furniture allows you full control of the creative outcome.
Elementa’s tip:
Tailormade silhouettes in warm beige tones, softened by sandy hues, never go out of style. Look for pieces with sharp outlines and sculptural presence—they bring subtle power to any interior.
