TheArsenale Opens in Dubai Wafi City: A new home for mobility design and culture

TheArsenale has officially opened its doors in Wafi City, Dubai, introducing a new kind of design destination that blends culture, mobility, and innovation. Founded by Patrice Meignan, TheArsenale has become a global reference in the mobility design world, and its arrival in Dubai marks the beginning of a new chapter for the region’s creative and technological landscape.

Located on the first floor of Wafi City, one of Dubai’s most recognized landmarks, the new space is not just a store but a cultural hub dedicated to the future of motion. The project comes to life through a collaboration with HH Sheikh Ahmed Bin Mana Al Maktoum, Deputy Chairman of Wafi Group.

Speaking at the opening, HH Sheikh Ahmed Bin Mana Al Maktoum said, “We are proud to welcome TheArsenale to Dubai. Together, we aim to create a space that reflects the UAE’s commitment to progress, creativity, and global excellence. A destination where the future of mobility can be imagined and experienced.”

A space built around motion and imagination

TheArsenale Dubai has been designed as a space where engineering, design, and art coexist. Every detail contributes to a seamless experience that connects technology and imagination. The environment reflects the brand’s philosophy that motion is not only functional but also emotional and expressive.

Taking center stage is the Renault Air4, a fully functional flying car that represents a bridge between design history and the future of engineering. The Air4 captures what TheArsenale stands for: innovation, independence, and creativity without boundaries.

The collection

The space features a curated collection of rare and experimental machines, each chosen for its design value and cultural significance. Among the highlights are the Bogarde X Dior Silver BMX, a symbol of style and craftsmanship, and the Katalis EV1000 – TheArsenale Edition, a futuristic electric motorbike that merges speed, design, and sustainability.

Beyond the physical displays, TheArsenale’s online platform hosts an extended catalog of innovation, including jet-powered electric surfboards and a fully driveable Warner Brothers Batman Tumbler replica. The platform connects mobility creators and collectors from across the world.

Building a global ecosystem of design

With existing locations in Miami, New York, Macau, Doha, and Paris, this new opening expands TheArsenale’s global network and strengthens its mission to connect mobility and design through bold collaborations and visionary experiences. Founder and CEO Patrice Meignan said, “Dubai embodies everything TheArsenale stands for: ambition, creativity, and a bold vision of the future. This opening is about building a platform for innovation and storytelling at the crossroads of design, technology, and culture.”

TheArsenale Dubai is now open at Link, Wafi City, inviting designers, collectors, and enthusiasts to experience a new perspective on mobility.
