Xworks Interiors is a leading provider of collaborative commercial fit-out, design, and furniture solutions in the UAE. The company was founded in 2009, with its doors formally opening on September 9, 2009, the same historic day that the Dubai Metro began operations. It is the objective of Xworks Interiors to serve the market with worldwide quality products and services. They specialises in designing offices with a particular emphasis on ergonomics and the entire work environment.

Driven by its commitment to excellence, Xworks Interiors expanded its operations to Abu Dhabi within just six years of its founding. This expansion showcases the company’s dedication to delivering exceptional service and meeting the evolving needs of its clients in the region.

“Our golden rule is communication. With our clients, with our suppliers and with each other. We pride ourselves on not only delivering the highest quality office spaces, but in how we deliver them.”

Xworks has successfully completed over 300 remarkable and highly functional offices throughout the years.
