Art, Luxury, and Purpose: MainGUILTY’s Growing Presence in the Middle East

MainGUILTY once again made its mark on the international design scene by participating in the INDEX Dubai & Hotel Show, held from May 27th to 29th at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

This year, the brand brought an exclusive selection from its latest collection, with a renewed focus on design tailored specifically for the Middle Eastern market - a region that continues to show strong interest in emotional luxury and artistic storytelling.

Among the highlights was the Momentum Chaise Lounge, now unveiled with a refined finish that reflects a warm, inviting and sophisticated aesthetic, inspired by the tones of arid landscapes and the silent elegance of the desert. This piece was strategically designed to integrate seamlessly into Middle Eastern interiors, offering not only comfort but also functioning as a sculptural statement that engages the senses.

Alongside the chaise lounge, the new Break console stood out as another key piece. Presented with a refined Travertino Classic finish, it captured attention as a design of strong presence and character, capable of creating a powerful visual narrative in any space. Its balance between robustness and fluidity drew the attention of numerous renowned interior designers and architects who visited our stand. 

MainGUILTY continues to captivate the most discerning eyes in the sector, and this year we were honoured to welcome some of the most influential names in Middle Eastern architecture and design at our stand - a space where luxury, art and innovation came together in perfect harmony.

A special highlight goes to the presence of our Creative Director, Carlos Mello, who was once again invited to take part in the prestigious talk “DREAMS BUILT REAL: The Journey Through Challenges in Architecture and Design”. This panel explored the core challenges faced by architects and designers as they balance artistic vision with practical realities - from budgets and regulations to sustainability goals and client demands. Carlos Mello shared his perspective on how adaptable creativity and innovative thinking can turn constraints into opportunities, reinforcing MainGUILTY’s commitment to delivering resilient, emotional and future-ready projects.

Another key milestone at this year’s edition was the strengthening of MainGUILTY’s relationship with the royal family of Sharjah - a clear sign of the brand’s growing recognition in the region, not only as a luxury furniture house but as a trusted creative partner.

Moreover, MainGUILTY proudly celebrated the installation of its bestseller, the Anthea piece, in yet another prominent project. This time under the creative direction of the acclaimed Karma Charafeddine, the project is located in the iconic Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, alongside creations from other renowned luxury brands. 

With an increasingly consolidated presence in the Middle East, MainGUILTY not only presented new design proposals with a sensitive eye to local culture, but also reinforced strategic connections that ensure the continuation of artistic projects with true purpose.
