The Dubai-based studio draws on Spanish roots to create a cohesive home setting for the brand’s “Your Home Away From Home” concept.

November, Dubai, UAE: ELE Interior Design has unveiled its stand design for Porcelanosa at Downtown Design, the Middle East’s leading fair for contemporary design. Now open at Dubai Design District (d3), the fair runs until 8 November 2026 as part of Dubai Design Week.

Drawing on Founder & Design Director Leali Ezzat’s Spanish roots, the studio has interpreted Porcelanosa’s “Your Home Away From Home” brief through a complete residential setting inspired by Mediterranean living.

The design connects a series of spaces through a warm, neutral palette, curved forms and complementary finishes. Visitors follow a natural route through the stand, experiencing how Porcelanosa’s collections work together across the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and outdoor spaces to create a cohesive home. A central courtyard provides a place to pause and gather within the wider setting.

For Ezzat, who began her interior design studies in Valencia, the collaboration brings a longstanding connection with the brand into her studio’s work in the Middle East.

“Working with Porcelanosa feels like a full-circle moment,” says Ezzat. “It is a brand I have known since the beginning of my design education in Valencia.

We wanted to draw on my Mediterranean childhood and bring the warmth of a Spanish home to the Middle East, considering how the spaces, materials and details come together as a whole.”

The concept takes inspiration from Spanish home architecture, the surrounding landscape and Porcelanosa’s heritage in ceramic production. Clay inspired the design’s earthy tones and sense of warmth through the selected finishes and products.

ELE worked closely with Porcelanosa to bring its varied product collections into a cohesive environment. Materials are presented across floors, walls and residential applications, while a dedicated display area allows visitors to explore new collections through colour, texture and touch.

Nuño Arcusa Gil, Middle East Regional Manager at Porcelanosa, says: “We chose ELE Interior Design because we share a connection to our Spanish roots. Leali knows our products, our philosophy and our brand very well. We wanted the space to feel warm, welcoming and comfortable, and felt she was the right person to understand that vision and bring it to life.”
