Meet the Locals: Saudi Brands To Buy Homeware From

16 Apr 2025

There is no place like home — and even the most committed minimalists have at least one favourite object they would never part with. That is why we have handpicked six Saudi brands creating furniture and home accessories that do more than fill a space — they complete it.
These are not just things to fill your shelves with, they are the kind of pieces that turn a house into a home — whether you are styling a sunlit studio or a grand majlis. Because, as any self-respecting aesthete will tell you, details matter. And these brands get the details just right.

AYA – The Art Of Living

If your idea of homeware involves deep philosophical pondering and designer-level soul-searching, then AYA is your sanctuary. Founded by Ayah Al Bitar, a Saudi Arabian product and furniture designer trained at Parsons in New York, this brand is a statement.
AYA stands for a merging of worlds: East meets West, heritage flirts with futurism, and your living room becomes a space for intellectual repose. Ayah’s dedication to handmade craftsmanship, her obsession with detail, and her ability to turn cultural commentary into coffee tables make her one of the most exciting design voices in the region. It is not just furniture. It is a living philosophy — with cushions.

Yeda Collective

Yeda Collective is where contemporary design meets cultural memory. Founded by four powerhouse designers, the collective includes Saudi architect Jawaher Almutairi, who trained under Zaha Hadid and contributed to the Black Gold Museum, and Meera Almazrooei, her Emirati design partner and a prominent figure within the architecture community. They are joined by Mohammed AlSuwaidi, a Ras Al Khaimah native and founder of the artisanal studio Asateer, whose work draws from his family’s pearl diving legacy. The final member, Rasha Sager, is a Swedish-Iraqi interior designer based in Dubai, known for her luxurious yet minimalistic aesthetic and a portfolio that spans high-end retail, hospitality, and residential spaces.
The name Yeda is taken from the Arabic word for the rope that tethered pearl divers to safety. It evokes a deep connection to land, sea, and the enduring human need for sanctuary. The collective draws on this metaphor to explore ideas of home and identity, especially through their line of fragrances. Yeda creates wonderful candles, diffusors, and contemporary Mabkharas.

Pieces

Pieces is an online retailer, curated by a Saudi family with an eye for the extraordinary. Founded in 2012, their original mission was to bring luxury to the forefront — and they have delivered, one exquisitely handpicked item at a time.
They traverse continents to find objects of desire from the world’s top designers, assembling a showroom of dreams for anyone who believes their home deserves better than mass-produced blandness. Every item tells a story — often one involving international airports, dramatic negotiations, and the careful wrapping of a £2,000 vase. This is love, quite literally, in the details.

Atharna

Atharna (which charmingly means ‘legacy’) isn't merely about shopping — it is a cultural act. This platform was created to celebrate, empower, and sustain Saudi Arabia’s artisanal heritage. So while you are browsing for a new handwoven throw or intricately carved incense burner, know that you are also keeping centuries-old traditions alive. Not bad for a Tuesday afternoon scroll.
Atharna works closely with craftsmen and women from across the Kingdom, turning talent into thriving business opportunities. Their mission? To ensure the craft industry remains not just alive, but thriving — preserving the art, sharing the skills, and filling your home with stories worth telling.

Keramos

Keramos is truly built on clay — and proud of it. The name itself hails from the Greek word Keramis, meaning pottery, but this Saudi brand is unmistakably rooted in local tradition. Their ceramics are bold, sculptural, and unapologetically artful, reflecting Islamic art and Saudi folklore with an elegance that would make your grandmother weep (with joy, of course).
Here, every piece feels ancient and modern all at once. It is homeware for people who appreciate that a well-thrown vase is a revolution in disguise. And if simply admiring from afar is not quite enough, Keramos also invites you to get your hands dirty — literally. At their studio in Riyadh, you can take part in ceramic wheel workshops and colouring classes, where the act of shaping clay becomes its own kind of quiet magic.

Zaitia

Zaitia is where art goes to live, and — if you are lucky — comes home with you. This Saudi concept store offers everything from striking wall art to decorative accessories, all with a focus on filling your space with creativity, colour, and flair.
If your aesthetic leans more towards “eclectically brilliant” than “tastefully beige,” then Zaitia might just be your design soulmate. Every piece is a little slice of artistic energy, ready to turn your hallway into a gallery and your shelves into a statement.
