In pictures: Nakkash furniture showroom

The new showroom is a testament to the principles that have guided Wajih Nakkash career since the very beginning: the aim was always to offer distinctive lines of furniture, create comfortable spaces and mix and match a range of different design styles.

The new 800-square-metre space is located in the Al Rostamani Building on Sheikh Zayed Road.

Nakkash Gallery’s portfolio includes both classic and contemporary furniture, and options for indoors and outdoors. But where the Garhoud showroom favours a more classic style and is home to the company’s extensive range of outdoor furniture options, the new Sheikh Zayed location leans more towards the contemporary.

The Nakkash take on contemporary is slightly more refined; the grown-up, elegant version, if you like. Clean lines, striking colours, bold shapes and quality materials dominate, with the odd hint of fun thrown in for good measure.

The new Nakkash showroom also features a vintage corner, complete with colourful furniture pieces and the uber cheery fabrics of Italian designer Lisa Conti.
