Roberto Cavalli and RAK Ceramics aim to introduce premium interior solutions.

Luxury brand Roberto Cavalli has signed an exclusive multi-year licensing agreement with RAK Ceramics, a leading ceramics lifestyle solution provider, for the development, manufacturing and distribution of Roberto Cavalli-branded ceramic tiles, sanitaryware and faucets.

Under the terms of the agreement, RAK Ceramics will create and distribute Roberto Cavalli collections across a strategic territory that includes the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Turkey, Morocco and India.

The partnership brings together Roberto Cavalli’s distinctive aesthetic vision and heritage of Italian luxury with RAK Ceramics’ global manufacturing expertise, innovation capabilities and extensive distribution network, said the company in a statement. 

The collaboration aims to introduce a new generation of premium interior solutions that combine exceptional craftsmanship, sophisticated design and contemporary luxury living, said a statement.

These collections will be distributed through RAK Ceramics’ directly operated retail network as well as through the development of its wholesale channel across the licensed territories.

The first official unveiling of the Roberto Cavalli collections developed under the partnership will take place at Cersaie 2026, the world’s leading international exhibition for ceramic surfaces and bathroom furnishings, in Bologna, Italy, in September.

Ahead of the global launch in September, selected RAK Ceramics flagship showrooms in the UAE will host an exclusive product preview, it stated, adding a second presentation will follow during Dubai Design Week in November.

Group CEO Abdallah Massaad dubbed the collaboration with Roberto Cavalli as a proud and defining moment for RAK Ceramics.

“Roberto Cavalli’s iconic design language and deep Italian heritage, combined with our world-class manufacturing excellence, global reach and culture of innovation create a proposition that is truly distinctive in the luxury living space,” he added.
