Founded in 2017 by Monica Arango, a Colombian entrepreneur with a passion for design, Dubai based inter-disciplinary studio C’est Ici, has carved a niche for itself with its unique design philosophy that embraces imperfect beauty and the mixing of unexpected, opposing, offbeat elements to create “thoughtful designs that brings people together and transform little moments into lasting memories.” 

 

Known for their signature minimalistic style, C’est Ici takes pride in crafting chic, out of the ordinary spaces whilst incorporating aspects of their client’s personality, aesthetics and heritage into the design. Their highly personalized approach marries ideas of cohesion and contrast in every space.

 

In 2020 the firm started Cèst ici Bespoke to address the lack of quality bespoke furniture in the local market. This specialized arm of the business, with services ranging from upholstery, to carpentry, stone and steel works, focuses on designing and producing unexpected custom pieces, where no two are the same. 

 

Starting out as a home-grown business, C’est Ici has in the last four years grown into a full scope turnkey luxury interior design firm with a portfolio of residential and commercial projects across the UAE, GCC and Levant.
