About Martyn White UAE

In 2024, building on the success of the internationally recognised Martyn White UK platform, Martyn White UAE was launched as an editorial extension dedicated to uncovering the creative pulse of the Middle East. Personally curated and written by Martyn White, the platform showcases the very best in luxury design, interiors, architecture, travel, art, and craft, while exploring the region’s unique relationship with culture, heritage, and innovation.

From emerging talent and heritage crafts to cutting-edge design projects and global collaborations, Martyn White UAE captures the essence of the region’s design narrative through a lens of luxury, creativity, and cultural relevance. The platform offers exclusive insight into the events shaping the industry, including Dubai Design Week, Downtown Design, Sharjah Architecture Triennial, and other standout moments across the Gulf and beyond.

As part of the wider Martyn White brand, which now spans the UK, UAE, and USA, Martyn White UAE provides a curated perspective on the conversations defining luxury design globally while celebrating the Middle East’s growing influence on the international stage. Working closely with leading brands, visionary designers, and rising talent, the platform highlights the creative energy driving the region forward while connecting it to the broader dialogue of global design and innovation.

About Martyn White

With a background in interior design and a lifelong passion for the creative arts, I have dedicated my career to exploring and sharing the world of luxury design. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the most iconic names in the industry, gaining invaluable insight into the craft, innovation, and stories that shape the spaces we live in.

In 2014, I founded Martyn White UK as a personal platform to document my discoveries and experiences within the design world. What began as a curated diary has since evolved into an internationally recognised editorial brand, now spanning the UK, UAE, and USA, offering readers an insider’s view into the most inspiring people, projects, and places in design.

The launch of Martyn White UAE marked an exciting new chapter, allowing me to explore the dynamic creativity of the Middle East, from cutting-edge architecture and contemporary interiors to heritage crafts, regional talent, and cultural storytelling. Through this platform, I aim to celebrate the designers, makers, and innovators shaping the region, while connecting these stories to the broader global design conversation.

For me, design is more than aesthetics; it’s about narratives, experiences, and emotional connection. Through Martyn White UAE, I hope to continue inspiring readers with carefully curated features, thought-provoking insights, and a personal perspective on the ever-evolving world of luxury design.
