works between art and construction.

MOOG is a Dubai business established in 2018. We develop architectural surfaces, curate and commission art, and fabricate bespoke pieces for interiors.

Who we are

Our finishes are not imported. They are developed.

Every signature finish in the MOOG library was formulated, tested and proven in Jebel Ali against the humidity, the light and the substrates of this region. It is why a sample takes days rather than a shipping cycle, and why a colour is matched to your drawing instead of to a catalogue.

Led by lead artist Dina Khataan, MOOG develops and curates architectural surfaces, art consultancy and bespoke fabrication, from the first sample to the installed wall, floor or artwork.

We work with architects, interior designers, developers, hospitality groups and fit-out contractors across the Middle East and globally.

Meet the team

Artists, architects and makers under one roof.

Every project passes through three hands: the artist who authors it, the technical team who tests it, and the workshop that builds it.
