Staged within the architectural elegance of the 4,000-square-meter Saraj venue, ARTDOM Riyadh will present a meticulously curated selection of 55 international exhibitors, many of whom will be showcased in the Middle East for the very first time. This highly anticipated edition promises to redefine the regional design landscape with a world-class presentation of innovation, craftsmanship, and cross-cultural creativity. As a global platform for artistic expression and design excellence, ARTDOM continues its mission of cultivating creative dialogue across borders. With Riyadh rapidly emerging as a hub of architectural ambition and cultural investment, ARTDOM’s arrival signals a moment of transformation for the region’s design community. “ARTDOM brings together companies with a high level of design on one platform. We showcase a current cross-section of the market, including limited-edition products, original designs, heritage brands, and emerging names. We value companies that collaborate closely with designers and have a unique philosophy and values. ARTDOM is an exclusive project dedicated to furniture and interior design, defining trends for the furniture market in the years ahead. Our goal is to foster and maintain interaction between brands, designers, manufacturers, and buyers, ensuring a steady growth in orders for participating factories”. In line with its founding ethos, ARTDOM Riyadh will spotlight original design and bold vision, uniting some of the most respected voices in the global design scene. The exhibition will welcome industry icons including Giulio Cappellini, Draga Obradovic and Aurel K. Basedow of Draga & Aurel, and celebrated Italian architect Carlo Colombo. These distinguished ambassadors will participate in a series of keynote talks and panel discussions, hosted alongside Dariya Zolotova, founder of ARTDOM, to explore the future of design, sustainability, and international collaboration. “I am very happy to participate in the Riyadh fair because it is a very high-level event. There, people will see the best of contemporary design. The Riyadh fair will showcase luxury products, the best materials, the finest craftsmanship, and the highest attention to detail,” said Giulio Cappellini, legendary Italian designer and ARTDOM ambassador. “I’m proud to contribute with other architects and designers to the diffusion of contemporary design in such a culturally important destination.” The exhibition will open with an exclusive gala dinner, gathering exhibitors, ambassadors, global media, and members of the Saudi Royal Family for a private evening of celebration and cultural exchange. This by-invitation-only event underscores ARTDOM’s unique role in building bridges between international creative leaders and the visionaries shaping the future of the Middle East. Throughout the two-day program, ARTDOM Riyadh will feature: • A rigorously curated showcase of high-end furniture, interiors, and collectible design • An immersive exhibition layout that reflects the narrative of each brand • A series of design talks, networking sessions, and ambassador-led panels • A strong focus on cross-cultural creative dialogue and innovation “We’ve spent years cultivating a professional community of designers, architects, media, and cultural leaders,” added Daria Zolotova. “Bringing over 55 international brands under one roof in Riyadh is not only a milestone, it’s a statement about where design is headed next.” More than an exhibition, ARTDOM Riyadh is a cultural experience, a bold invitation to reimagine the future of design from the heart of Saudi Arabia. As the world’s creative eyes turn toward the Middle East, ARTDOM invites guests, collaborators, and visionaries to be part of this historic new chapter.
