Isola Design Group expands into the Middle East

Isola Design Group arrives in Dubai, creating new opportunities for designers and brands in the dynamic Middle Eastern market

Isola Design Group, founded in Milan to spotlight independent designers, studios, and international brands, opens a new location in Dubai’s creative hub. Through a collaboration with TECOM Group PJSC, Isola joins the Dubai Design District (d3), strengthening its presence in the Middle East and launching new initiatives focused on circular design.

A Strategic hub to promote Italian design in the Middle East

With its new location in the Dubai Design District (d3), Isola Design Group aims to leverage opportunities provided by the dynamic Middle Eastern market and Dubai’s strategic position as a gateway to the Middle East and North Africa. The Isola Design platform, featuring over 1,500 international profiles and 2,500 projects, along with Isola Studio—a consultancy for brands and organizations—will support local designers and emerging brands in fostering the growth of the regional creative economy.

Collaborations and Growth of the Creative economy in the Gulf

One of Isola Design’s primary objectives in the Middle East is to foster the exchange of skills and ideas between Italy, Europe, and the Gulf. Leveraging its established expertise and global network, Isola will support local businesses in design and event production, contributing to the growth of Dubai’s creative economy. This will occur in synergy with d3, the region’s leading creative hub, which has already attracted major multinationals and design startups.

The role of Isola Studio for a Sustainable design future

With the opening of its new location, Isola Design Group also introduces Isola Studio, its consultancy laboratory focused on the future of sustainable design. Isola Studio will provide consulting services to international brands, startups, and organizations to develop innovative strategies and create cutting-edge solutions. It has already collaborated with brands such as iGuzzini, Ithra, and Masquespacio, bringing events and exhibitions to Italy, Europe, and the Middle East.

An Expanding market: Isola Design targets Dubai

Isola Design Group’s expansion into Dubai marks a significant step for the internationalization of Italian design and the promotion of new collaborations in the Gulf. With its location in the Dubai Design District, Isola will continue to support the evolution of sustainable design and promote dialogue among diverse cultures and design visions, solidifying its role as a leader in the global creative industry.
