Our Journey

The name Biruuni, derived from the Arabic word for “outsider” or “foreigner,” reflects our experience as expatriates in the UAE, a country that has welcomed us with openness and generosity. Our journey is about discovering home, not as a fixed place, but as spaces filled with meaning and layers.

At Biruuni Edit, we bring together artisanal craftsmanship and modern design thinking to create pieces that tell stories of culture and creativity. From Mediterranean embroidery to South Asian woodwork, we collaborate with skilled artisans across the globe, while embracing the exceptional artistry and innovation found in the UAE. Whether it’s a handcrafted piece, a curated collection, or a full interior design project, every creation is thoughtfully designed to evoke charm, authenticity, and timeless beauty.

The UAE’s ever-evolving landscape, where modernity and heritage coexist, has provided the perfect backdrop for our work. Its diversity and dynamism inspire us to create with openness while staying grounded in sincerity.

Founded by Neha and Mashal, Biruuni Edit reflects their combined backgrounds and a shared enthusiasm for thoughtful design.

Neha, began her career in fashion after studying at FIT, New York. When asked to design her parents’ home, she discovered a passion for crafting spaces with soul and structure. To her, a home is like an Indian thali, a thoughtful mix of distinct elements brought together in harmony.

Mashal worked in a landscape of forecasts and functions, before returning to her artistic instincts. Guided by a foundation in economics and a perspective shaped by the many worlds she has been part of, her creative approach weaves together the finest skills, materials, and ideas from across borders.

With a global eye and a local heartbeat, Biruuni Edit crafts and curates designs with intuition and a deep sense of connection; constantly evolving. We’re excited to share so much more: new stories, new forms, and fresh expressions that continue to celebrate heritage and innovation.
