La Bottega Collective has officially arrived in the Middle East, unveiling its visionary platform where luxury, innovation, and curated guest experiences converge
La Bottega Collective today unveils its visionary platform in the Middle East, presenting a world where luxury, innovation, and curated guest experiences converge. The regional launch will be celebrated with an exclusive multi-sensory event at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, in the iconic Pearl Suite, coinciding with Dubai Design Week, the city’s leading festival of creativity and innovation.
Founded by CEO Tommaso Pacini, La Bottega Collective is a global, multidisciplinary group of guest experience curators. La Bottega Collective orchestrates every touchpoint of the luxury journey through a portfolio of internationally renowned brands: La Bottega, Vanity Group, Palatino, Beltrami, White Privé, and Colosseo.
La Bottega (the founding company) brings over forty years of heritage as an international leader in luxury beauty essentials with a portfolio of highly prestigious hotels and licensed luxury retail brands. In September this year, it evolved into a platform designed to transform hospitality through bespoke solutions that inspire, delight, and endure. This vision has been embraced by key partners: private investment firm Three Hills, led by Founder & CEO Mauro Moretti, and most recently Ou(r) Group, the Ruffini family’s holding company led by CEO Pietro Ruffini.
A targeted buy and build strategy led to the acquisition of leading companies in their respective sectors, and to the subsequent integration of products and services within the newly formed Group, today known as La Bottega Collective:
- Vanity Group, an Australian-born leader in the beauty essentials sector with a first-class portfolio of licensed brands, founded by Paul Tsalikis; the creative and operational synergies unlocked by this acquisition play a pivotal role in driving and accelerating the Group’s international expansion.
- Palatino, with offices in Hong Kong and Paris, is a pioneer in bespoke OS&E (operating supplies and equipment) accessories and in design consultancy (through its division Colosseo) for the luxury hospitality sector, founded by Bastien Le Coz, Gabriella Zavatti and Olivier Vu.
- Beltrami, a luxury textile maison based in Bergamo, founded in 1965 and today led by Cinzia Imberti, is renowned for its artisanal Made in Italy linens, found in the world’s most exclusive hotels, spas, yachts, and residences. Beltrami’s production represents the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, transforming textiles into bespoke experiences.
Following these acquisitions, the Group has further consolidated its position in the textile sector with the launch of White Privé, a brand dedicated to textiles across bath, table, and bedroom collections, alongside bespoke retail lines for the world’s most prestigious hotels and fashion houses.
At the Dubai launch, La Bottega Collective will debut Palatino’s 10th anniversary celebration, presented in partnership with Alessandro Moriconi. Renowned for a transdisciplinary vision that fuses creative direction, design, architecture, and scenography, Alessandro Moriconi has collaborated with Palatino on his inaugural hospitality capsule spanning a catchall in wood and leather, a sculptural vase in ceramic and metal, a mirrored tray enhanced with leather, and a lidded box in ceramic and metal. Distinguished by pure, timeless lines, this capsule is conceived as a dialogue between form and materiality. Each object balances functionality with sculptural elegance.
Marked by subtle contrasts and tactile details, these creations reflect Alessandro’s sensitive approach to design, where craftsmanship and emotion converge.
“It’s not a collection,” says Alessandro Moriconi, “but rather a curation of objects that embody a quiet sophistication, where function meets emotion, and simplicity reveals its own form of luxury.”
The Alessandro Moriconi x Palatino capsule collection blends Palatino’s craft with Moriconi’s emotionally engaging universe, embodying the spirit of Dubai Design Week and the region’s role as a global hub for creativity and luxury. The collectable pieces will be permanently exhibited in the Pearl Suite at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, contributing to the architectural legacy and enduring narrative of this landmark destination..
“Dubai has become a true epicenter of global luxury, innovation, and culture,” said Tommaso Pacini, CEO of La Bottega Collective. “To launch here during Dubai Design Week is both symbolic and strategic. This city reflects our vision: transforming hospitality into theatre and hotel essentials into immersive lifestyle experiences. We are here to become the most trusted ally to the Middle East’s most forward-thinking hospitality leaders, and we’re honoured to be hosting the event here at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab.”
As La Bottega Collective continues its global expansion, the Dubai launch affirms its commitment to shaping the future of luxury hospitality in the Middle East, in partnership with the region’s most iconic hotels and cultural institutions.
