Designing and Expanding in the Middle East

The Middle East is one of the most exciting and fast-evolving markets for design. From luxury residences and high-end hospitality to large-scale mixed-use developments, the region presents unparalleled opportunities for interior designers and architects looking to grow their business internationally.

However, operating in this market comes with a unique set of challenges. Success demands more than creative excellence, it requires cultural sensitivity, a strong understanding of local regulations, and the flexibility to adapt to different client expectations and business practices.

Join us for our upcoming Design Leaders Talk: Designing and expanding in the Middle East, taking place on Tuesday 13th May at 10am at the Minotti showroom.

In this panel discussion, leading designers and industry experts with first-hand experience in the region will share practical insights and honest perspectives. From adapting their design processes and managing procurement complexities to forging strategic partnerships and navigating local business operations, this conversation will explore what it truly takes to deliver world-class design while growing a studio on a global scale.
