ABOUT

Atelier / Stories is a boutique art and collectibles advisory based in Dubai. We work with collectors, architects, interior designers, and developers to curate meaningful collections and sourcing strategies for luxury residential and hospitality projects.

With over 20 years of experience across Europe and the USA, we’ve worked alongside leading companies and industry pioneers and are now bringing this expertise to the UAE and GCC.

The studio is led by co-founders Daniela Gagliano’ and Elisabetta Gyorok, whose Italian heritage and global background shape a distinctive approach – where art, design, and culture meet with intention.

Our work combines deep market knowledge, a trusted European and local network, and a clear understanding of what defines value in today’s design landscape. We focus on clarity, relevance, and results, ensuring art and collectible design become part of a project’s identity, not an afterthought.
