Furniture and home accessories form the range at The One, the UAE chain founded in Abu Dhabi in 1996. Muya Abyssinian Crafts works with handwoven Ethiopian cotton textiles, producing household goods through its Addis Ababa craft business. Amman's AlBurgan Handicrafts draws on Jordanian heritage for its cushions and tableware, alongside a range of bags and kaftans.

What makes great home & design?

This plate lists 405 shops in 72 countries. Paris has the most with 31, followed by Colombo with 8. Among these shops, 12 describe made-to-order work and 35 sell online, going by their own descriptions.

Ask who designed and made it: ask for the designer and the maker, which are not always the same studio.

Ask about lead times: larger pieces are often made to order, so ask how long delivery takes.

Ask about shipping abroad: ask who arranges packing and insurance for delivery to your country, and who pays any duties.
