Words By Allegra Salvadori

A bold new voice in the world of luxury interiors has emerged from the UAE. Meet Yla, a Dubai-based design atelier redefining how metal lives indoors.

With its debut Audace Collection, Yla proposes a sculptural, softly-spoken revolution — where the precision of engineering meets the poetry of form.

Founded by Benoit Rondard, a master craftsman with over two decades of experience at Eurotech, Yla draws from the timeless strength of metal while celebrating the organic beauty of nature’s lines. Each piece is engineered in Dubai, yet speaks a universal language of elegance: tables, seating, and storage solutions crafted from stainless steel and aluminium with a satin-smooth matte finish, made to quietly command a room.

The collection reveals a reverence for contrast — between strength and softness, rigor and sensuality. Its palette, inspired by the rhythms of the natural world, includes Desert, Charcoal, Imperial and Polar — hues that ground and elevate interiors in equal measure.

At the heart of Yla is a belief in conscious design. Timeless yet contemporary, each piece is built to endure, transcending trends while treading lightly on the environment. It’s this philosophy that sets Yla apart: furniture that doesn’t just furnish a space, but enriches it.

“With Yla, we wanted to create more than just furniture,” says Rondard. “Our goal is to bring warmth, vitality, and a sense of quiet luxury into the everyday.” Yla’s launch signals more than a collection — it heralds the arrival of a design ethos rooted in craftsmanship, emotion, and presence.
