Fourth RAK Ceramics Design Hub opens in Milan

After Dubai, London and Frankfurt, Rak Ceramics has chosen Milan for its new Design Hub, which will host all the group's brands in the surfaces, bathroom furnishings and tableware sectors.

RAK Ceramics, one of the world’s leading ceramic groups, inaugurated its new RAK Ceramics Design Hub in Milan on 7 April, the fourth international outlet following Dubai, London and Frankfurt. The result of an investment of over €1 million, the space at Via Borgogna 8 plays a key role in the strategy of the Emirati group, whose goal is to establish itself as a go-to partner for architects, interior designers and contractors.

The 400-square-metre showroom designed by MMA Projects provides a comprehensive overview of the lifestyle solutions offered by the group and its brands: RAK Ceramics for porcelain stoneware surfaces and slabs, together with a collection of sanitaryware and bathroom furnishings; Elie Saab for exclusive, high-end interiors; Kludi, a historic German bathroom and kitchen tapware brand, now also presenting its own collection of sanitaryware; and RAK Porcelain, the tableware brand that is now the top choice of over 40,000 operators in the foodservice and hospitality industries worldwide.

Inside the Milan Design Hub, Maximus large-format slabs slide on a track system to create dynamic backdrops, while the bathroom displays showcase the RAK-Skin and RAK-Remal collections by Jordanian designer Sahar Madanat, RAK-Cloud by Giuseppe Maurizio Scutellà and the Kludi-Asana shower installation. On the second level, the kitchen area features a countertop made from 14 mm Maximus slabs with the innovative CookingRAK induction system, alongside Kludi taps and RAK Porcelain tableware.

This comprehensive and fully integrated product range is designed to meet the needs of all types of projects, from residential to hospitality, and is available on a truly global scale. With its 23 state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in the United Arab Emirates, India, Bangladesh and Germany, RAK Ceramics has an annual production capacity of 118 million square metres of tiles, 5.7 million sanitary fixtures, 26 million pieces of tableware and 2.6 million tapware elements. The group, listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, serves customers in over 150 countries through operational hubs across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, Asia, North and South America, and Australia. In 2024, RAK Ceramics posted revenues of 3.23 billion dirhams (approximately US $880 million).
