Montalbano

Montalbano curates premium Italian and European furniture for homes, hotels, restaurants and offices across the Middle East, from its showroom in Al Quoz, Dubai, since 2012.

A catalogue too big for a brochure site.

Montalbano sells hundreds of pieces across indoor, outdoor, office, home and cinema ranges, to homeowners and to architects, designers and hotel groups. Each buyer needs different detail: dimensions, finishes, spec sheets or proof of past projects.

The site had to carry all of that in English and Arabic, feel as premium as the furniture, and let the team add products and projects without a developer.

What we made

A furniture showroom, built for the web

  • A catalogue you can browse.

    Products are organised by division and category, from chairs and sofas to outdoor, office and cinema seating, with filters, search and a full products menu. Every piece has its own page with photos, dimensions and spec documents.

  • Every piece, one enquiry away.

    Product, project and contact enquiries are saved to the admin and emailed to the sales team the moment they land. Trade clients can create an account and save favourites for their projects.

  • Projects that prove it.

    A portfolio of hotels, restaurants, cafés and auditoria, filterable by type and region, shows the furniture in the spaces it was chosen for, from Anantara to Kempinski.

FAQ

Questions about this project.

What did Mutant Media do for Montalbano?

Mutant Media designed and built Montalbano's website end to end: a bilingual English and Arabic site with a product catalogue, project portfolio, trade accounts, enquiry forms and an admin the Montalbano team uses to update products, projects and pages. Mutant Media also filmed the collection and runs Montalbano's marketing.

Can Montalbano update the website themselves?

Yes. Mutant Media built an admin where the Montalbano team edits page text and images, adds products and projects, posts news and reviews every enquiry, in English and Arabic, without a developer.

Is the Montalbano website in Arabic?

Yes. Mutant Media built the Montalbano website in English and Arabic, with right-to-left layouts for Arabic pages and Arabic content managed from the same admin.

How long did the Montalbano website take?

Design started in August 2026 and the bilingual site, admin and enquiry system went live in October 2026. Exact dates to be confirmed by the project team.
