DBM DESIGNS FIRST INTERNATIONAL ISABEL MAYFAIR in ABU DHABI

Located within The Galleria on Abu Dhabi’s Al Maryah Island, Isabel Mayfair is a 580-sqm hospitality venue designed by Dubai-based practice DBM (Design by Mahsa), founded by artist and interior designer Mahsa Gholizadeh. Commissioned by BNF Hospitality, the interior establishes the London restaurant brand’s first international outpost. Rather than replicating the British flagship, the design constructs an architectural narrative around an imagined muse named Isabel, integrating bespoke artworks, architectural metalwork, and craft-driven finishes directly into the structural envelope.
