ARCHIVE is a Dubai-based online platform dedicated to vintage furniture and objects from the 1920s to the 1990s. The collection centres on singular pieces, chosen for their craftsmanship, material integrity, and the stories embedded in them.
Founded by interior designer Sarah Allengawi, ARCHIVE emerged from a lifelong relationship with travel and collecting. Antique fairs and small dealers have long served as points of reference, shaping an intuitive approach to sourcing and curation.
Each piece is selected for its sense of presence rather than perfection, valued for age, patina, and the quiet confidence that comes with time. ARCHIVE works closely with interior designers, architects, and design-led collectors who seek objects with depth, character, and continuity.
