Retail and interior design

Retail & Interior Design for Premium Brands

Dune Studios is a creative studio founded by architects, and retail interior design is where that origin is most visible. We design stores the way we design images: light, proportion and material first, decoration last. The result is retail space that photographs beautifully because it is built beautifully. From concept architecture to finished interiors, the studio handles both the design concepts and the spaces they become.

For Al Ghadeer Emirati Crafts in Abu Dhabi we designed a complete retail environment as a calm, graphic interior landscape — a sequence of framed openings and layered walls that become shelving, display and seating, crowned by a monumental frieze of traditional patterns, with sand-filled plinths presenting the collection like an oasis. For Stark Carpets and Ashley Stark we have created the campaign imagery through which their collections are seen worldwide, and for Osk Croissanterie the visuals and teasers for its interior architecture.

Our retail work covers the full arc from concept and CGI visualisation to technical documentation and production supervision, delivered from Dubai and Madrid for permanent formats across the GCC and Europe.

Materials and details are chosen for longevity: a store we design today should still feel deliberate in ten years, which is why our palettes stay quiet and our geometries do the talking.

For product brands we often pair the interior work with the campaign imagery that launches it, so space and communication share one art direction from day one.

FAQ

Yes. Permanent retail and interiors are core to the studio — for example the Al Ghadeer Emirati Crafts store in Abu Dhabi, where the architecture itself acts as shelving, display and seating.

It means we start from space, light and material rather than styling. Concepts are developed in CGI with real dimensions, so what is approved on screen is what gets built on site.

Yes — many clients come to us for exactly that combination: the spatial design and the photorealistic visuals used to present, approve and later market it, as with our campaigns for Stark Carpets.
