STORIES WOVEN INTO EVERY PIECE
Vintage furniture and collectible design in Dubai, curated for the stories each piece carries.
Nestled in the heart of Dubai, Assembly is a haven for connoisseurs of vintage artistry and exceptional craftsmanship.
We curate a distinctive collection of vintage furniture, retro décor, and rare collectibles, each piece handpicked from esteemed auctions and trusted collectors worldwide.
Our collection is a testament to thoughtful curation, where every piece tells a story and holds a distinct place in time.
We carefully source items from around the world, each chosen for its character, craftsmanship, and history. No two pieces are alike – making your space truly one of a kind.
What we hold
Around 366 pieces at any one time, all of them in Al Quoz and all of them seen before they are bought. Murano lighting, close to a hundred pieces of hand blown Venetian glass. Seating, our largest category, with work made by Knoll, Cassina, Gavina and Arflex. Vintage Persian and Anatolian rugs, hand knotted, mostly Tabriz, Kerman and Anatolian village weaving. Original art, and other vintage lighting from Flos, Artemide and Stilnovo.
How we source
We buy in person, mostly in Italy and Turkey, in small batches rather than from a catalogue. That is why no two pieces carry the same story, and why two apparently identical chairs can be priced differently: each was bought at a particular moment, at a particular price.
It also means the collection turns over. What is in the showroom this month may not be here next month, and we rarely get the same thing twice. If you are looking for something specific, tell us and we will watch for it.
Visiting the showroom
Photographs of vintage pieces are honest about shape and dishonest about presence. A chandelier that looks modest on a screen can be two metres of hand blown glass in a room. We are in Al Quoz, Dubai's warehouse and gallery district, open during normal hours and by appointment.
