Dubai-born designer Omar Al Gurg, founder of MODU Method, is reshaping the landscape of contemporary design by merging creativity, functionality, and a deep sense of community. With a design philosophy rooted in the thoughtful solving of practical problems, Al Gurg’s work is as purposeful as it is visually compelling, earning him recognition on regional and international stages.
Al Gurg’s journey is shaped by personal experiences, architectural studies abroad, and his ongoing role within his family business. These influences have informed his approach to design around accessibility, storytelling, and craftsmanship. Through MODU Method, he has cultivated a studio that promotes functional yet meaningful design, bringing together a growing team dedicated to research, collaboration, and innovation.
From relocating villas to launching a new community space – a modern majlis in the heart of Jumeirah – to creating bespoke furniture alongside architects and interior designers, Al Gurg demonstrates a commitment to design that resonates locally while appealing globally.
MODU Method is also expanding into home accessories tailored to the region, signalling the studio’s ambition to create versatile, market-ready solutions.
Al Gurg’s work extends beyond production: he has exhibited at Lawrie Shabibi in Alserkal Avenue and presented solo shows. His designs are not only functional objects but stories in themselves, each piece carrying a unique character, reflecting both his heritage and his forward- thinking vision.
