Finasi Finalist at CID MENA Awards 2025: Excellence in Luxury Fit-Out in Dubai

Dubai, UAE – September, 2025 – In a market renowned for architectural ambition and luxury interiors, Finasi once again confirms itself as an undisputed leader in the high-end fit-out sector. The company has been shortlisted as “Fit-Out Firm of the Year” at the CID MENA Awards 2025, a recognition that celebrates a year of success marked by outstanding luxury projects across both the hospitality and residential sectors.

Founded in Milan in 1969 and established in Dubai since 2007, Finasi has successfully created a bridge between Italian heritage and Middle Eastern market innovation. With over 500 completed projects and a team of more than 370 professionals, the company has become the go-to partner for clients seeking impeccable execution and integrated services covering every aspect of the project: from luxury fit-out to bespoke joinery, from custom furniture to high-end landscaping.

The Finasi Approach: Custodians of Design Vision

The nomination is not coincidental, but the result of a business philosophy built on solid pillars. Finasi doesn’t consider itself a simple supplier, but a custodian of design vision. As partners Ahmed and Hisham A. Sultan emphasize: “Our role is to protect and elevate the vision, ensuring that every element, from joinery to the final touches, is delivered to the highest standard.”

This approach translates into four fundamental strengths:

• End-to-End Control: Thanks to a multidisciplinary in-house team and an internal 64,000 sq ft joinery facility, Finasi manages every phase of the process internally, guaranteeing uncompromising quality.

• Consistency at Scale: The ability to achieve the highest level of finishes on complex, large-scale projects is one of the company’s trademarks, ensuring coherence and precision.

• Fully Customizable Solutions: Whether it’s a private villa or a beachfront venue, every project is unique. Finasi excels in translating personalized briefs into extraordinary spaces.

• Commitment to Sustainability: With the recent FSC® certification, Finasi demonstrates a concrete commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable material sourcing.

Iconic Projects in the Hospitality Sector: Sirene by GAIA and INA Dubai

2024 has been a crucial year for Finasi in the luxury hospitality sector, with the completion of two of the most acclaimed venues on Dubai’s new J1 Beach.

• Sirene by GAIA: As one of the city’s most exclusive beach clubs, Sirene required a comprehensive turn-key approach that included full fitout, custom furniture, bespoke joinery, landscaping, and pool construction. The result is an oasis of refinement that has already won over both public and critics. Maxim Barkov, Vice President of Project Development at Fundamental Hospitality, commented: “The collaboration with Finasi has been excellent. Their ability to translate our vision into a fully operational luxury venue has made them an invaluable partner.”

• INA Dubai: An innovative hospitality concept that celebrates open-fire cooking, featuring Dubai’s largest open-fire grill. Finasi handled the specialized fit-out, joinery, and custom furnishings, contributing to creating a unique atmosphere that combines design and conviviality.

Finasi’s commitment to the hospitality sector is set to grow, with the acquisition of the prestigious contract for the fit-out of NAMMOS Dubai at the Four Seasons Resort, a project that will further consolidate the company’s leadership in luxury hospitality.

Excellence in Residential: From Contemporary Design to Classic Style

Beyond hospitality, Finasi has continued to define new standards in the luxury residential sector with projects ranging from contemporary design to classic elegance.

• Penthouse @110: A luxury residence in Business Bay where light, volumes, and custom elements blend to create a spacious family home that is both functional and beautiful. The project includes tailor-made kitchens and bespoke wardrobes crafted in the in-house joinery facility.

• Villa Blanche: A tribute to French decorative tradition, this luxury villa combines classic moldings and premium materials with cutting-edge functionality. Every element, from bookcases to wardrobes, was custom-made in the Finasi joinery.

These projects demonstrate Finasi’s versatility in residential interiors, from refined fitout to luxury kitchens, custom wardrobes and bespoke furniture solutions.

A Look to the Future: Quality, Sustainability, and People

The nomination highlights Finasi’s journey, a company that constantly invests in people, processes, and the environment. With an advanced project management system, continuous training to uphold craftsmanship standards, and a strong commitment to safety and sustainability, Finasi doesn’t just create spaces but builds lasting relationships with its clients.
“This nomination is not recognition for a company, but a tribute to the dedicated team behind every detail“, concludes Ahmed Sultan.
