Selecting a sofa from a showroom floor and drawing one for a room are two different jobs. A made-to-order studio asks the designer to do the second: the conversation begins with the drawing, and the studio turns it into a piece that can be built.
How a Made-to-Order Studio Works.
Because the piece is made here, revisions happen in dialogue rather than across an import chain. A change to an arm height or a seat depth is redrawn and agreed with you, then cut in the Emirates, not sent back to a factory on another continent.
A designer usually arrives with one of the following:
- A moodboard
- A floor plan
- A section detail
What We Specify for the Scheme.
Dimensions follow the room, not a fixed catalogue, and every material choice is documented so a client can approve it without hesitation. The studio specifies each piece against the brief:
- Dimensions drawn to the room rather than a fixed catalogue size
- Fabric chosen against the brief, from a performance, hospitality-grade fabric for a high-traffic lobby to a softer hand for a private residence
- Materials held to a toxic-free, safe, non-toxic standard the designer can put in front of a client
Working Together on Trade Terms.
For a trade partner, this is a working relationship, not a transaction. The studio operates by appointment, so a designer books time before anything is committed to production, and specifications are documented so the piece can be reordered coherently across a scheme or a phased fit-out.
An appointment gives the designer time to review:
- Upholstery
- Proportions
- Finishes
One Studio, from Spec Sheet to Finished Piece.
The same rigour that shaped hospitality projects and a NOYA interior collaboration is applied to a single custom sofa. Designers who want the full framework, from trade terms to how a spec sheet becomes a finished object, can start on the dedicated page for interior designers.
Frequently asked questions.
Can an interior designer specify custom dimensions and fabric with Saint Objets?
Yes. Saint Objets is a made-to-order French studio in Dubai, so designers specify dimensions to suit the room and select from toxic-free, hospitality-grade fabrics against their own brief. Each piece is built to the designer's drawings, designed in Paris and made in the Emirates.
Does Saint Objets work on trade terms with design studios?
Yes. Saint Objets collaborates with interior designers as a trade partner rather than a retail showroom. The studio works by appointment, documents specifications for coherent reordering across a scheme, and supports both single custom pieces and larger fit-outs. Full trade details sit on our furniture for interior designers in Dubai page.
Where can designers see Saint Objets pieces?
At Decoroom, Art of Living Mall, Dubai, where the design consultation is complimentary and a designer is available by appointment. The Dubai Design District studio receives by appointment. Designers book time to review proportions, upholstery, and finishes before production begins, which keeps each made-to-order commission precise and aligned with the client scheme rather than pulled from stock.
