Introducing: Ounass Maison, a design-led offline shopping haven

Located in Mandarin Oriental, Jumeirah, the region’s leading luxury online player, Ounass, unveils its Maison – a brick-and-mortar physical retail space offering a bespoke and tangible shopping experience to its VIP clientele and hotel guests.

The house speaks the same language as the online shopping experience: curated, luxurious, and stylish. It houses three private family-style shopping suites where customers can indulge in styling consultations and fittings ensuring a personalised experience. Launched in December 2016 as Al Tayer’s Group first foray into e-commerce, Ounass has become a power player in the online retailer game and boasts a selection of over 300 well-loved brands, both international and regional, such as Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, and more as well as seasonal exclusive collections.

Its offline counterpart is designed as a place of discovery. Ounass Maison invokes a sensation of stepping into a private apartment rather than a traditional retail space. Exquisitely designed by Beirut-based renowned architecture duo, David & Nicolas, the Maison intended to create a sense of community and convenience, where the space feels less transactional and unhurried.

A quick wander around, you’ll get to discover an eclectic mix of revival aesthetics in the different areas and thoughtfully placed decor in an environment that’s coloured with muted shades of earthy tones such as mustard, cream, terracotta, red, cobalt blue, and more to create a sense of comfort and intimacy.
