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.
