Makan, reinventing the furnishing experience

MAKAN, the furniture rental company born in Dubai last year, is the new place where anyone who’s moving to the UAE or moving houses should go to.

MAKAN was created to make furnishing easier for young urban professionals. Those who are always on the move, and looking to settle into a nice place, without the hassle of moving, scouting for, or disposing of furniture. Or simply those who don’t want to spend a fortune upfront, or like the idea of paying for their furniture in monthly installments.

During the pandemic, remote working has created an “impermanence” trend, where young professionals now tend to test and experiment with different cities before they finally settle on a permanent home.

In other cases, they chose to opt for a “digital nomad” lifestyle where they don’t know how much time they would be spending in the same place. Moreover, the perspective on housing has completely changed, and the idea of settling down in one single place has completely shifted.

FROM LOS ANGELES TO DUBAI

In the U.S many companies saw this trend as an opportunity to switch from buying furniture to renting it. Companies like Feather, or Furnish to name a few, have developed models to fit the lifestyle and requirements of the newer generation allowing them to seek new opportunities and have new adventures freely, with no commitment.

Now Makan has brought the trend to Dubai first, then to Abu Dhabi and the UAE, with the intent to expand to other MENA geographies in the upcoming years as we are expected to see more and more people moving and relocating.

Over the past 15 months, Makan has furnished more than 400+ homes and dispatched over 3000+ items that are delivered and assembled for free within 7 days.

With 60% growth month over month since its launch in July 2021, MAKAN is the trendiest online furniture company.

AN ALL-IN-ONE SERVICE THAT MAKES EVERYONE’S LIFE EASIER

MAKAN makes the furnishing experience easy for everyone. On one hand, if you are a young busy professional, who just arrived in Dubai and does not really have time to look for furniture, Makan helps you pick your dream furniture within a few clicks, with preconceived bundles that fit all your needs.

MAKAN is committed to delivering and assembling your dream furniture in 7 days so that you can settle in quickly. Furthermore, no payment up-front is required as you can pay in monthly installments. There is no need to settle for mainstream furniture anymore!

On the other hand, if you are an investor, owning multiple real estate properties, and wanting to rent or lease out your properties on Airbnb, Makan becomes a saving grace as you can call out MAKAN’s team of expert designers to help fully furnish the space, and have it delivered and assembled without any inconvenience. Moreover, renting the furniture also allows you to keep up with trends and switch up your place when required.

ON THE EDGE OF A REVOLUTION

Makan is the beginning of a revolution in how customers furnish their residences and approach the  furnishing experience in general. In this case, there will be plenty of room for MAKAN to move into the UAE market, and elsewhere in the region.
