CASA|NOVA Brings Italian Design to Dubai's First Certified eVTOL Vertiport Lounge

CASA|NOVA, the UAE's exclusive retailer of Italy's finest design houses, furnished the executive lounge for a landmark occasion in the future of urban air mobility, as VDX the world's first purpose-built commercial vertiport, developed by Skyports Infrastructure received full regulatory certification from the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft operations, marking Dubai's first major step toward commercial air taxi services.

To mark the milestone, Skyports welcomed senior representatives into a lounge appointed with the Camilla ML chair by Cattelan Italia, curated and brought to life by CASA|NOVA.

"We are proud that our furniture played a part in welcoming such a significant moment for Dubai's aviation future," said Farhad Nawrozzadeh, CEO of CASA|NOVA. "As the region's exclusive retailer for a portfolio of leading Italian design houses, moments like this reflect exactly what we set out to do, bring world-class Italian craftsmanship into spaces that matter, from private residences to landmark commercial and infrastructure projects across the UAE."

The Camilla ML, designed by Cattelan Italia, is known for its sculptural silhouette and premium upholstery. Cattelan Italia has become a signature choice among CASA|NOVA's clientele across the UAE for both residential and commercial interiors.

As Dubai moves closer to launching commercial eVTOL operations, this milestone is a reminder of how far-reaching great design can be — finding its place not just in homes, but in the spaces shaping the future of how we live and move. It's a role CASA|NOVA is proud to keep playing as the city's most ambitious developments continue to take shape.
