V-Gallery Dubai opening marks new chapter for Thierry Lemaire
Starting November 5, 2026, architect and designer Thierry Lemaire will hold a solo exhibition that serves as the inaugural show for V-Gallery, the fresh collectible design space at Warehouse 32, Al Khayat Avenue in Dubai. This presentation launches a new phase of activity for Lemaire in the Middle East, bringing his distinctive work to the area through a dedicated gallery setting.
Over recent years, Dubai has established itself as a key hub for collectible design. Professionals including collectors, architects and interior designers from throughout the region converge in the city, drawn especially by the emphasis on fine craftsmanship and superior material quality.
Thierry Lemaire observes that the Middle East shares his appreciation for handcraft and beautiful materials central to his practice. He describes the Dubai exhibition as the start of an ongoing engagement with the region.
The exhibition features a selection of items from Lemaire's furniture collections. These works embody his approach through enduring silhouettes, expert proportions and careful selection of materials along with finishes, all reflecting an architectural sensibility applied to furniture design.
Spanning the disciplines of interior architecture, decoration and furniture design, architect Thierry Lemaire shapes a singular and complete aesthetic universe that reflects his personal vision. His work belongs to the tradition of the French decorative arts. He consistently integrates raw materials with sophisticated elements, maintaining a meticulous focus on detail at all times. His furniture is created by master artisans, maintaining the standards of traditional craftsmanship in every aspect. He has designed collections for Fendi Casa, and Dior has selected several of his pieces for its showrooms and boutiques. The architect applies the same principles across all his projects to ensure a cohesive result that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Attention to the choice of materials and the way they are combined is key to his method of working. This allows for the creation of pieces and spaces that stand the test of time due to their quality and design integrity. The collaborations with major brands like Fendi Casa and Dior highlight the recognition his work has received in the industry. Through his dedication to these principles, Lemaire continues to develop his aesthetic universe in innovative ways.
