Every Saint Objets piece is specified to a materials brief that answers the UAE climate, the design-magazine standard, and the studio's sustainability position. Here is what we use, and why.
European fabric
All primary upholstery textiles are sourced from European mills, a curated performance fabric library. European fabric sourcing gives us three things: tested colourfastness, documented chemical safety, and consistent yarn quality across production runs.
Belgian linen
Where linen is specified, Saint Objets uses Belgian linen, the global benchmark for linen weaving. Belgian flax produces a long, strong fibre with natural temperature-regulating properties that perform well in UAE climate.
Performance bouclé
European-milled performance bouclé, tight-loop weave in high-twist yarn. Claw-resistant, wipe-clean, tested for abrasion.
European vegan leather
Wipe-clean, humidity-tolerant, no cracking over years of use.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100
Saint Objets textiles used in skin-contact applications, including the inner mattress cover of Club Nooshie, are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified; the certificate is available for the chosen cloth.

FAQ
Can I request OEKO-TEX fabric on any piece?
Yes. Every European fabric in the Saint Objets library is either already OEKO-TEX certified or has a certified alternative.
Is Belgian linen durable enough for a Dubai family home?
Yes. One of the most durable natural fibres. For pet households we recommend performance bouclé.
The library runs to several hundred colourways. These four are where most conversations start, and they show the two families we work in most: boucle, which is texture, and velvet, which is light.
Cuddly, Cream
A dense wool boucle. It reads quiet from across a room and shows its texture only when you are close enough to touch it.
Cuddly, Terra
The same boucle in terracotta, flecked with rust and ink. It holds the light of the Emirates without going orange.
Mont Blanc, Sky
A steel-blue velvet with a dry hand. It takes shadow well, which is what makes a curved back read as a curve.
Mont Blanc, Nougat
Velvet again, in the palest cream. The one people choose when they want the shape to speak and the colour to stay silent.
Samples are sent to your address in Dubai before production begins. Nothing is cut until you have held the cloth. Where the certificate is available for the chosen cloth, OEKO-TEX class fabrics can be specified.
