Boutique Emirati Developer, Alta Real Estate Development, Debuts First Piece of Furniture Crafted by Carlo Colombo
Dubai, UAE, April 2026 – Alta Real Estate will make its official debut at Salone del Mobile 2026 with the global unveiling of the first bespoke furniture piece.
The presentation marks a significant milestone for Alta, making it the first Emirati developer to officially present at Salone del Mobile, and positioning the company among the international design houses and architectural brands shaping the global cultural conversation.
The furniture piece was developed by A++ Group, with interior design led by Carlo Colombo as Creative Director, created for the Maison Margiela Residences in Dubai. The piece represents the first physical expression of a broader bespoke furniture collection developed specifically for the 25-unit project on Palm Jumeirah.
Announced earlier this year, Maison Margiela Residences mark the House’s first venture into residential living, translating the Maison’s codes of deconstruction, trompe-l’œil, and transformation into a luxury architectural environment.
Developed in partnership with Alta Real Estate, each residence is conceived as a canvas for material exploration and architectural mastery, with a dedicated furniture collection including sofas, armchairs, tables, beds, and lighting created exclusively for the project.
Alta’s participation at Salone signals more than a product reveal. It reflects the emergence of a new generation of Emirati developers operating within the international design arena, not only as market players but as cultural contributors. By premiering at the world’s most influential design fair, Alta reinforces its commitment to positioning Middle Eastern real estate within a global design-led narrative.
“Salone del Mobile represents the highest level of dialogue within the global design community,” said Mohamed Al Tayer, Deputy Managing Director at Alta Real Estate. “As an Emirati developer, presenting in Milan reflects both the ambition and the maturity of our market. The Maison Margiela Residences were conceived as a true architectural collaboration from the outset, and unveiling the first furniture piece at Salone introduces that vision within an international context.”
“Maison Margiela has a distinct identity, thoughtful, understated, and deeply expressive,” added Carlo Colombo. “With this collection, we sought to translate that spirit into pieces that feel timeless and refined. The furniture is designed to belong naturally within the residences, carrying the Maison’s character in a way that is subtle, elegant, and enduring.”
The Milan activation will unfold as a curated two-day programme during Salone week, including a private media and VIP dinner on April 23, followed by a consumer- facing presentation on April 24 at a prominent Milanese venue. The event will bring together international press, collectors, architects, and industry leaders for an exclusive first look at the inaugural furniture piece.
For Alta, the moment underscores a broader strategic vision: bridging regional development with global creative authority.
