workspace at INDEX is the largest and most comprehensive commercial interior design event in the Middle East, responsible for generating $1.6billion in business in 2016, welcoming 14,400+ participants.


Clients' design demands continue to evolve in the Middle East. 'Building Green' isn't new but upcycled/recycled furniture is making its way into the workplace. Specialty medical centres are surging in number, demanding different designs for patients and family members who join them. Retail space is growing 5% a year in the UAE, and furnishing/fit out requirements are shifting to boutique or warehouse themes.

 

No place combines the most incredible retail, healthcare, education and commercial interiors better than workspace at INDEX. After 17 years the exhibition remains the annual gathering place for visual merchandisers, interior designers and other specifiers looking to source international interiors.



workspace at INDEX is the only event in the Middle East region dedicated to interior design for the commercial, retail, educational and healthcare sectors. Located in Za'abeel Halls 2 and 3, Dubai World Trade Centre and part of the INDEX Design Series of events, workspace at INDEX offers visitors a vibrant and multifaceted insight into the world of commercial interior design.
