YLA Metal
Furniture & Lighting
Yla is a UAE based luxury furniture atelier redefining the role of metal in contemporary interiors. Founded by engineer Benoît Rondard, the studio approaches metal not as an industrial material, but as an emotional and expressive medium. Drawing on two decades of engineering expertise, Yla creates sculptural furniture that balances strength with softness, permanence with sensitivity, and structure with atmosphere.
Launched in Summer 2025, Yla made its debut with the Audace Collection, a series of seating, tables, and storage pieces crafted from stainless steel and aluminium. Through refined proportions, curved forms, and tailored upholstery, the collection repositions metal as calm, fluid, and deeply human, anchoring interiors without overwhelming them.

Designeers Says
Yla understands metal as a language rather than a statement. Its pieces hold space quietly, reflecting light, emotion, and intention with restraint and confidence. There is a rare clarity to the work, where engineering precision meets a poetic sensibility, allowing metal to feel contemplative rather than imposing.
