A bespoke armchair is not a catalogue piece in a different fabric. It is a chair conceived around a specific room, a specific body, and a specific life. Saint Objets makes armchairs to commission in Dubai, dimensions, fabric, arm profile, and base finish all chosen by the client, produced to specification, delivered white-glove across the UAE.
What bespoke means here
Saint Objets does not produce standard units. Every armchair commission begins with a brief: the room dimensions, the surrounding furniture, the client's preferred depth and seat height, and the fabric direction. What comes back is a chair that resolves all of it, not a close approximation.
Seat heights from 38 cm to 46 cm. Seat depths from 50 cm to 65 cm. Back heights to specification. Arm styles: rolled, track, slung, or none. The variables are the client's. The resolution is the studio's.
Fabrics and finishes
Every bespoke armchair at Saint Objets is upholstered in European-sourced decorative fabric:
- Performance velvet, European velvet, soft hand, high abrasion resistance. Available in over 40 colourways. Suited to high-use positions.
- Bouclé, textured loop weave, contemporary profile. For reading chairs, primary suites, and living rooms where the armchair is a deliberate focal point.
- Refined vegan leather, European-sourced. Wipe-clean surface. Particularly suited to dining positions, home offices, and households with children or pets.
- Belgian linen, available on request for specific commission briefs.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified options available across all fabric categories. Base finishes: solid oak, powder-coated steel, lacquered wood, or brushed brass. Swivel base available on certain configurations.
Who this is for
Villa and apartment owners in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and across the UAE who need a chair that fits a specific wall, alcove, or reading nook, not a chair that almost fits and is compromised by what was in stock. Interior designers commissioning for a client brief. Hospitality and residential projects requiring a specific specification that no catalogue piece meets.
Lead time and pricing
Standard bespoke armchairs: 15-20 working days from commission approval. Complex briefs (multiple chairs, unusual dimensions, non-standard base): 20-25 working days. Pricing depends on fabric category, base finish, and size. Contact the studio for a commission quote, response within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions
Can I specify dimensions that aren't in any of your standard designs?
Yes. Bespoke commissions are built to your specification. If the room demands a 58 cm seat depth and a 90 cm back height, that is what is produced. No standard sizes apply.
How do I choose the right fabric?
The studio can advise based on the room's light exposure, household composition (children, pets), and surrounding furniture. Physical swatches sent on request before commission is confirmed.
Can I use my own fabric (COM)?
Yes, on a case-by-case basis. The studio evaluates suitability for upholstery before accepting COM commissions. Minimum quantity requirements depend on the armchair's surface area.
Lead time for a set of four dining chairs?
20-25 working days for a set. All four produced simultaneously, no staggered delivery.
What if the armchair doesn't fit through my apartment door?
Elevator and doorway dimensions are confirmed before production begins. Pieces designed to navigate UAE residential lift constraints where required.
Do you do armchairs for commercial projects?
Yes, hospitality, F&B, residential lobbies. Minimum quantities and lead times vary. Contact the studio with the brief and scale.
