Art of Living, the UAE’s and MENA’s premier home design and furniture shopping destination, has officially launched in Dubai.
The inauguration was led by Mohammed Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, and attended by top officials, investors, design and real estate experts, and media representatives. The opening showcased the mall’s innovative concept as an all-encompassing destination, redefining the décor shopping experience amidst the soaring demand for high-end residential furnishings in Dubai and the region.
Situated on Umm Suqeim Road in Al Barsha 2, Art of Living spans over 50,000 square meters across three floors, featuring more than 50 international and regional brands specializing in indoor and outdoor furniture and décor, including several regional firsts. This offers a unique opportunity for consumers and designers to explore new trends that cater to diverse tastes and provide complete solutions for modern living.
Lootah remarked, “Dubai continues to bolster its status as a premier shopping hub and a leader in interior design innovation. The emirate exemplifies attracting global brands and hosting specialized retail centers that reflect the market’s diversity and adaptability, meeting both consumer and investor expectations. The retail sector is a cornerstone of Dubai’s economic landscape. At Dubai Chambers, we support this crucial sector by cultivating partnerships and expanding market opportunities in line with Dubai’s economic aspirations.”
Dr. Samer Al Omari, CEO and partner of Art of Living, highlighted the project as the fruition of a long-held vision, driven by a genuine market need to make design, quality, and beauty more accessible to homeowners. His experience in the furniture industry identified a market gap due to dispersed showrooms and high costs, prompting a model that unites design essentials under one roof.
Al Omari further noted that Art of Living fosters a complete ecosystem of brands, ideas, and creativity, encouraging collaboration among designers, engineers, and homeowners. Despite initial challenges, the belief in collaboration over competition has been key to the project’s success. The center is nearing full occupancy, and its vibrant community marks the start of a new era in regional interior design.
Art of Living was created to address the rising demand for luxury furniture and comprehensive design solutions, in sync with the booming UAE real estate market.
The center is forming strategic alliances with leading real estate developers to support upcoming furnished residential projects nationwide, establishing Art of Living as the region’s top interior design destination with flexible, ready-made solutions that enhance the growing furniture market.
Architecturally, the building embodies a modern design reflective of Dubai’s spirit, utilizing global expertise in specialized center development. The thoughtfully designed corridors and halls facilitate an effortless visitor journey, enabling easy product comparison and navigation.
