About us
Discover the perfect blend of aesthetics and functionality for your dream home
Cont de Arch is an interior design bureau founded in the UAE in 2020.
The studio creates collectible interiors, building spaces through carefully curated selections of furniture, lighting, textiles, art, materials, and unique details.
Each project is developed through travel and design sourcing: the team visits different countries, collaborates with artisans and ateliers, and commissions bespoke pieces and finishes tailored to every project.
French interior culture plays a key role in Cont de Arch’s aesthetic: architectural restraint, balanced proportions, rich textures, vintage elements, gardens, and objects with history. This French influence is reflected in layouts, styling, furnishings, and landscape design, including French gardens.
Every interior is shaped around the owner’s personality, lifestyle, and cultural references, forming a cohesive environment filled with meaningful, story-rich objects. Cont de Arch works with private and investment properties, creating interiors defined by expertise, quality, and a collectible approach.

Our history
Katerina Patalina – the founder of Cont de Arch design agency.
“The story of Cont de Arch design studio in the UAE began with my personal need to create a comfortable and cozy space outside my home country. Working on my projects, I noticed how they attracted attention from friends and acquaintances. Their interest and support pushed me to realize that I could evoke emotions in others. This is how Cont de Arch design studio came to be, dedicated to creating safe and cozy spaces that give a feeling of home, no matter where you are.”
