A new chapter: Fabiia’s showroom opens in Chiswick, London

Furniture brand Fabiia has opened its doors to a new London showroom just in time for Sleep & Eat 2019… 

Marking a significant milestone for the furniture company, Fabiia has opened its doors to a new showroom on the doorstep of the quaint yet thriving neighbourhood of Chiswick, London. The new showroom’s strategically placed location has become the company’s first base in the UK, and will shelter brands such as Miniforms, Lightyears, Normann Copenhagen, Schneid, Delightfull, Fast, Labbate and Sika.

“When we first decided to make the move from Dubai back to the UK, we were keen to pick out a prime location for what would become the Fabiia Showroom,” said Fabiia’s creative director Shija Walia. “Three months scouring the streets of London led us to The Light Box, a studio set two minutes from Chiswick Park and a stone’s throw away from the Chiswick train station.

“To put things in perspective, most of the last year was spent pouring over Fabiia’s signature line of furniture. The team divided its time traveling around Europe identifying the choicest manufacturing units alongside juggling multiple projects in the Middle East. We sure have kept ourselves busy, but the results are most definitely worth it!”

A heady mix of indoor and outdoor furniture, designer lighting, plus a signature Fabiia flair alongside our architectural Norse LED lighting invites visitors into a showroom that lives and breathes design.

“What was once a pipeline dream has now finally taken shape in a one-stop location for all your contract furniture/lighting requirements,” added Walia.

The brand’s timely entrance to unveil a UK showroom unfolds as one of Europe’s largest and most talked-about hotel design trade show, Sleep & Eat prepares to get underway – of which Hotel Designs is a proud media partner of.
