Gucci Office—Office Blinds

The office had floor to ceiling windows and a glare problem making the staff squint through meetings daily. Every screen in the office became unreadable by noon. Then Aura Curtains installed motorised blinds and fixed the glare problem across all workstations and meeting rooms.

Gucci's regional Dubai office has floor to ceiling glass on two sides. One faces the Burj Khalifa directly while the other overlooks the Downtown skyline. It is one of the most impressive office views in the city.

The same glass that made the office beautiful was also creating daily operational problems. By mid-morning, glare affected workstations and meeting rooms across the office. The Burj Khalifa view was costing the team valuable productivity.

The office manager had raised the issue multiple times because client presentations after 11am became difficult in one of the meeting rooms. The existing building venetian blinds looked too industrial and did not meet the premium standards expected within a Gucci workspace.

Gucci consulted an interior design agency which recommended Aura Curtains. Their brief was straightforward. Eliminate glare across all workstations and meeting rooms, preserve the skyline views, and ensure the final solution looked premium throughout the office.

What Aura Curtains Recommended

Aura Curtains selected solar screen roller blinds with a 3% openness fabric. This allowed the office to maintain full visibility of the Burj Khalifa and Downtown skyline while significantly reducing glare. The motorised system also enabled staff to control multiple blinds through a single app.

How We Managed the Commercial Installation

Because the office remained operational during business hours, Aura Curtains scheduled installation after hours. The team completed both sides of the office within two days, tested every blind, and trained the office manager on operating the system before handover.

No Screen in This Office Fights the Sun Anymore

Before installation, employees regularly moved laptops and adjusted seating positions to avoid direct glare. On the first day after installation, the blinds handled the sunlight automatically. The daily habit of chasing shade across the office disappeared completely.

Meetings Run Better in Here

One meeting room was often avoided for client presentations because sunlight made screens difficult to view. With a single motorised blind, presenters can now prepare the room with one tap and use the space confidently throughout the day.

Every Desk Gets the Skyline View

Keeping the Burj Khalifa and Downtown skyline visible was a non-negotiable requirement. The solar screen blinds removed the glare while preserving the office's signature views. Employees gained comfort without sacrificing the reason the space was designed around glass.

The Blinds Match Gucci's Standard

Gucci's office has no tolerance for anything that feels temporary or out of place. Aura Curtains ensured every blind disappeared neatly into the ceiling recess when retracted. There are no visible cords or exposed mechanisms, creating a seamless finish that feels original to the design.
