GOETTLING – Who we are
Oliver Goettling
Founder and Owner of GOETTLING INTERIORS
I was born in Munich and raised in the culturally rich and politically vibrant city of Brussels, a place that shaped my early worldview through its diversity, internationalism, and openness. After completing my O Levels, I made the decision to return to Germany — not only to continue my academic education, but also to immerse myself in the strong professional culture and industrial precision that Germany is known for.
From as early as 2001, I began traveling frequently to Dubai. Each visit left a lasting impression: the city’s energy, its architectural ambition, and its mix of cultures from every corner of the globe created a compelling magnetism. Dubai was more than a booming economy; it was a place where innovation and tradition coexisted, and where the future was being built in real time. I found myself increasingly drawn to this unique environment.
In 2003, I was presented with an exciting opportunity to relocate to the UAE and take charge of sales and operations at a German boutique trading company. The company specialized in premium lifestyle products — including precision-engineered German kitchens, bespoke furniture collections, architectural lighting, and refined home accessories. It was a hands-on, dynamic role that introduced me to the local market’s unique characteristics and expectations, while also deepening my expertise in the luxury interiors segment.
As the global financial crisis unfolded in 2008, its impact was felt across industries, including real estate, construction, and luxury retail. I observed firsthand how market behavior changed, how customer preferences evolved, and how many companies struggled to adapt. Rather than viewing the downturn as purely a challenge, I saw it as a moment of recalibration — a rare chance to rethink the future and create something with lasting value. I recognized that the UAE market still held immense potential for those willing to take risks and offer differentiated, high-quality solutions.
In 2010, driven by that vision, I founded GOETTLING INTERIORS. From the outset, my goal was to offer more than just premium products. I wanted to create a brand that combined German engineering with tailored service, offering integrated interior solutions that blended function, form, and emotional resonance. The concept store at Ubora Towers in Business Bay became our physical and conceptual anchor — a carefully curated space where clients could experience exceptional craftsmanship, cutting-edge design, and personalized consultation all under one roof.
Over the years, GOETTLING INTERIORS has grown into a recognized name in the region’s high-end interiors sector. Our success is built on a team of passionate designers, experienced project managers, and highly trained installers who all share a commitment to excellence and detail. We have proudly delivered numerous turn-key projects, transforming residential and commercial spaces with integrity and care.
What truly sets us apart is the way we work with our clients. At Goettling, we take time to understand the people behind the projects. We listen, we advise, and we co-create — ensuring that each solution is not only visually outstanding but also deeply aligned with the lifestyle and aspirations of our clients. We represent some of Germany’s most respected home décor and kitchen brands, positioning ourselves as a trusted partner for homeowners, architects, and interior designers alike.
Ultimately, our biggest achievement lies in the relationships we build. Many of our clients return for new projects or recommend us to their families and friends — a testament to the trust we earn through authenticity, professionalism, and a relentless pursuit of quality. For us, every project is not just a business transaction — it is an opportunity to deliver joy, comfort, and beauty in the everyday lives of the people we serve.
