Gianfranco Ferré Residences | Ras Al-Khaimah

When working on a residential project, the key is to adapt a brand's language so that it can be fully expressed in the space. It is not a matter of simply reproducing its symbols, but of understanding its proportions, the culture of its materials, and the way in which furnishings and details can create an identity that is consistent with the architecture and the location.

This is where ONIRO Group comes in. Through its Interior Design Service, product expertise combines with design and manufacturing skills, guiding the development of interiors in which the brand’s vision can be adapted to different scales and types of space.

In the Ras Al-Khaimah project, the collaboration with MIRA Developments is interwoven with a deep understanding of Gianfranco Ferré Home, produced and distributed by ONIRO Group. The furnishings thus become an integral part of the design of the spaces: defined volumes, wood finishes, textile upholstery and tailor-made details create a domestic landscape consistent with the character of the collection and the setting of Al Marjan Island.

“The Middle East has been a key market for ONIRO Group for many years, and I am certain it will continue to be so in the future. To take full advantage of the countless opportunities offered by the United Arab Emirates, it is essential to find the right partner – one that is qualified and reliable. MIRA Developments is undoubtedly the right choice for developing projects of the highest standard,” said Moreno Brambilla, Chairman and CEO of ONIRO Group.

The furnishings in the Gianfranco Ferré Residences blend into the architecture with the precision of a brushstroke. Well-defined volumes and carefully measured geometries complement the proportions of the spaces, creating perspectives and sequences that reflect the design ethos that has always been associated with the world of Gianfranco Ferré.

The light of Al Marjan Island washes over a palette of whites and beiges, meets the depth of Canaletto walnut and rests upon the varied textures of the fabrics. In this landscape of materials, sofas, armchairs, tables and accessories are not isolated elements: they punctuate the space, suggest its rhythm and shift in character as one moves from communal areas to more private spaces.

The ONIRO Group’s Interior Design Service focuses precisely on these relationships. The expertise of Gianfranco Ferré Home enables the collection to be interpreted through different compositions, whilst maintaining a recognisable thread running through the various elements of the project. The result is a sense of continuity that does not depend on repetition, but on balance, and on a shared sensibility that runs through the interiors and takes on a different form each time.

Gianfranco Ferré’s training in architecture left a distinct mark on his approach to form. Geometry, volumes, proportions and construction become tools of a creative method in which intuition and rigour go hand in hand. It is from this legacy that Gianfranco Ferré Home was born in 2014, bringing to interior design a sensibility developed through fashion, design and sartorial culture.

In the furniture, this aesthetic takes shape through defined lines, materials with a strong tactile presence and details reminiscent of the masculine wardrobe: fabrics such as houndstooth, tweed, Prince of Wales and pinstripe, along with stitching, trims and finishes that bring the precision of tailoring to the construction of the furniture.

In Ras Al-Khaimah, this same design language meets the light and the horizon of Al Marjan Island. Light tones enhance the spaces, Canaletto walnut introduces depth, and textures modulate the surfaces. The rigour inherent in Gianfranco Ferré’s legacy sheds all rigidity and becomes atmosphere: the furniture does not merely occupy the architecture, but helps to define its rhythm and character.
