Sedar Global expands UAE presence with new store opening at Dalma Mall, Abu Dhabi
Strategically located on the ground floor of Dalma Mall, a major shopping destination along the Abu Dhabi Tarif Al Ain highway, opposite Mohammed Bin Zayed City, the 150 sqm showroom opened its doors in May 2025. This expansion brings Sedar's global footprint to over 30 stores across 11 countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, Morocco, Bahrain, Iraq, Yemen, Qatar, Oman, and Sudan, as well as an international design hub in Northern Italy and retail presence in Canada.
Meeting Regional Demand and Future Growth
The opening comes at a time when the regional interiors market is thriving. With the UAE construction market estimated at $42.75 billion in 2025, and expected to reach $52.66 billion by 2030, the soft furnishings market in Dubai and the broader UAE is similarly projected to experience robust growth, driven by rising disposable incomes, rapid urbanisation, and a growing preference for sustainable, smart, and high-quality interior solutions. Sedar's strategic expansion is designed to meet this demand, offering a one-stop destination for both residential and commercial customers seeking elevated interior design experiences.
Rami Selo, COO of Sedar Global, shares 'We're proud to expand our footprint in Abu Dhabi, one of our most dynamic markets. Dalma Mall is part of the Abu Dhabi 2030 strategic development plan, and we've seen a significant rise in demand from the rapidly growing, multicultural population surrounding the mall.'
He continued: 'Our mall-based concept has been well received in Dubai, and this new store aims to offer Abu Dhabi consumers and interior designers a similar, accessible shopping destination that brings together high-quality décor solutions and expert service.'
A New Kind of Shopping Experience
The Dalma Mall store offers a fresh, immersive shopping experience tailored to modern consumer preferences. In addition to Sedar's extensive range of blinds, curtains, wallpapers, folding doors, and awnings, the store features the brand's newly launched Upholstery Studio and interactive digital screens. These allow customers to browse, personalise, and purchase interior products ranging from curtains and blinds to pillows and wallpapers, at their own pace.
This latest store follows Sedar's rebrand rollout, which has revitalised more than 15 locations since 2022 with a modern, approachable visual identity. Inspired by Sedar's successful 'Your Space, Your Art' campaign, the new store design embraces bold colours, open spaces, and integrated technology to create an engaging and user-friendly environment, particularly appealing to Millennial and Gen Z shoppers.
Innovation, Sustainability, and Global Design Partnerships
The new Dalma Mall location reflects Sedar's ongoing evolution to meet consumer demand for both trendy and sustainable interiors. The brand has expanded its offerings to include eco-conscious upholstery fabrics and reupholstery services, responding to growing interest in sustainable home solutions.
Sedar Global continues to collaborate with some of the most prestigious names in design, offering exclusive collections from Armani/Casa, Roberto Cavalli, Versace Home, Missoni Home, Swarovski, and Jannelli & Volpi, as well as sought-after sub-brands like Marcopolo, Amazona, Fujikawa, York Weave, and Antartica.
New to the portfolio is an exciting collaboration with The Met Museum New York, enabling customers to print renowned artworks onto wallpapers and fabrics – available for the first time in the region. The brand also continues to offer advanced smart living automation solutions through its partnership with Somfy and a Pergoala line enhancing convenience and luxury.
A Seamless Omnichannel Experience
Alongside its physical store expansion, Sedar Global has invested heavily in its digital ecosystem. The brand's revamped e-commerce platform now offers a fully immersive virtual store experience, designed to replicate the in-store journey from the comfort of home.
This includes 360-degree virtual showrooms, online home consultation services, virtual room planning, and end-to-end services from consultation and measurement to manufacturing, delivery, and installation. Built with user-friendliness in mind, the platform bridges high-tech innovation with Sedar's signature VIP, one-to-one service experience, making it accessible to all customers, regardless of their tech comfort level.

Zayed International Airport handled 15.5 million passengers in first half of 2025
Zayed International Airport handled 15.5 million travellers in the first half of 2025, up 13.2 per cent annually, driven by home carrier Etihad Airways' growth and the addition of new airlines serving Abu Dhabi. Passenger traffic across Abu Dhabi's five airports grew 13.1 per cent year-on-year to 15.8 million in the January to June period, marking 17 consecutive quarters of growth, state-owned operator Abu Dhabi Airports said on Monday. The five airports are Zayed International, Al Ain International, Al Bateen Executive, Delma Island and Sir Bani Yas Island Airport. "The first six months of this year have posed some operational challenges, yet our ... mid-year results demonstrate the resilience of our network and the collaborative partnerships that underpin our growth," said Elena Sorlini, managing director and chief executive at Abu Dhabi Airports. The growth in airport traffic volume comes despite recent geopolitical tension in the Middle East. An Iranian strike on a US military base in neighbouring Qatar last month led to brief airspace closures in the Gulf. The reported increase comes shortly after Wizz Air Abu Dhabi announced that from September it would no longer be operating from the emirate. In the first half of the year, 16 new destinations were added to Zayed International Airport's network. New airlines and routes include China Eastern Airlines' Shanghai service, Air Seychelles' six weekly flights and Syrian carrier Fly Cham's flights to Damascus. IndiGo also expanded its presence at Zayed International, with new routes to Madurai, Bhubaneswar and Vishakhapatnam. Air Arabia Abu Dhabi last week said it would increase operational capacity by 40 per cent in 2025 with the addition of four Airbus A320s to its fleet. Zayed International Airport's traffic volume grew as home airline Etihad Airways carried more passengers and the emirate pushes to attract more international tourists. During the first half of the year, Etihad Airways carried 10.2 million travellers, a 17 per cent annual rise. The average passenger load factor for the year to date stands at 87 per cent. The airline is also revising its growth targets upwards to carry 38 million passengers by 2030, from a previous goal of 33 million, Antonoaldo Neves, Etihad's chief executive, told The National this month. The Abu Dhabi-based airline aims to expand by 15 per cent every year until the end of the decade as it carries more passengers, adds 20 planes annually and reaps the benefits of joint venture partnerships with Ethiopian Airlines and China Eastern, he said. Abu Dhabi is pursuing a strategy of drawing more international tourists and business visitors as it adds more attractions to its skyline and Mice events (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions). "As Abu Dhabi's tourism and trade prospects rapidly advance, our airports are well positioned to support and scale that growth," Ms Sorlini said.
