Italian Glassmaker VENINI Expands Middle East Presence with New Retail and High-Profile Projects


VENINI Strengthens Regional Footprint with New Store Openings and High-End Collaborations in the Gulf

According to a news article in Home Furnishings Business, VENINI, the renowned Italian glassmaker and part of the Damiani Group, is ramping up its expansion strategy in the Middle East, targeting the region’s most prestigious locations. The brand made a strong impression at Downtown Design Dubai 2024 with a visually striking stand, featuring a stunning recreation of the iconic Velario from Palazzo Grassi.

In the UAE, VENINI currently operates a shop-in-shop at That’s Concept Store in Mall of the Emirates. Building on this presence, the company plans to open new exclusive locations in 2025, including prime retail spaces on the ground floor of the Dubai Mall—one of the world’s busiest shopping destinations with over 105 million visitors in 2023—and at Solitaire Mall in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Alongside its retail growth, VENINI is also engaged in private, high-profile projects in Abu Dhabi, bringing its expertise in craftsmanship to luxury residences and premium developments. This strategic expansion reflects VENINI’s vision to elevate Italian glass artistry on a global scale, promoting Italian design and craftsmanship in a region known for its appreciation of made-in-Italy excellence.
