Looking Ahead

To mark the fifteenth anniversary of Swiss Bureau Interior Design in Dubai, the multi-award-winning agency has unveiled a new logo. The simple but sleek and modern design symbolises the company’s accessible nature and the efficient, straightforward way in which it approaches each project. Attention to the individual needs of each client has built allowed it to build a deserved reputation for excellence in the design of creative interiors throughout the region and internationally.

Originally from Switzerland, Joakim de Rham – the company’s CEO, Founder and Lead Architect – spoke with identity about the success and future of Swiss Bureau.

Why has Swiss Bureau been so successful in Dubai?

We are hard workers here, but the most important key to our success so far is the organisation we have structured through our employees within the past four years. To maintain our promise to deliver the best services to our clients, we have made tremendous efforts in organising all our different departments, while making sure to include the best personalities Dubai has to offer. Our highly skilled community of designers, 3D visualisers, the MEP team, CAD operators, estimators, the procurement team and our site managers are perfectly aligned with our project managers, ensuring processes flow freely throughout the office.
