With the education sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia poised for period of incredible expansion and fast paced transformation, Kidzink have opened their very first Saudi office.
Like football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, Kidzink will now call Riyadh their ‘home away from home’.

Long established as the UAE’s leading school design and furniture manufacturing company, recent years have seen Kidzink’s innovation and impact extend to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Now led by one of Kidzink’s most talented architects, Namitha Girijan, the Kidzink KSA office will be providing vital close-range support to schools and education groups right across the Kingdom.
Namitha and her brand new Kidzink KSA team can’t wait to get started. Speaking of the move, she had this to say;
“We’re thrilled to be bringing a permanent Kidzink base to Saudi. The team making the move with me are experienced, hard-working and incredibly creative. They are also great fun – we are loving every minute of this adventure together…I mean, of course we are…even Ronaldo has followed us to KSA!”.
Kidzink founder, Charlotte Borghesi, foresees a growing KSA team which will include many Saudi nationals and Arabic speakers, as well as more education and design experts. Reflecting on the expansion, Charlotte commented,
“Just as in the UAE, our KSA team will be delivering our unique service for clients, old and new.
We’re now in the heart of Riyadh, bringing our incredible designs and sustainably manufactured furniture to Saudi schools. It’s vitally important to us that our team reflects the many strengths of Saudi culture and I can’t wait to annouce the first of many talented young Saudi’s who will be joining Kidzink KSA.”
Charlotte continued, “Looking ahead, our growing local team will now take care of all design, project management, installation and aftercare for schools in the Kingdom. Anyone working with Kidzink KSA will have a brilliant experience – we’ve sent some of our very best people! Truly, I could not be more proud of Kidzink KSA”.
Kidzink co-founder, Paolo Borghesi, is delighted to see the newly relocated team continue to offer the same high-quality service and logistical ease as in the UAE.
“We have made sure that there will be zero import challenges for Kidzink furniture arriving KSA. Kidzink. Our exceptional furniture can be shipped with ease from our manufacturing hubs in both Italy and Dubai. What’s more, we already have several very successful KSA school projects behind us. Our experience at Aldenham Riyadh, Neom Community School, SEK and more will allow the team to hit the ground running and offer our clients in KSA the same outstanding experience that is synonymous with Kidzink in the UAE”.
The Dubai based ‘home team’ will be guiding Kidzink KSA them as they take this leap into one of the world’s most exciting education markets. An office is Riyadh is certainly an exciting opportunity for the team, and for Kidzink as a whole, but it’s also an interesting chance for anyone who wants to get involved in the KSA school market. We are keen to meet with schools, educators and investors as well as exceptional professionals who might be interested in joining the Kidzink family, so feel free to get in touch!
Best of luck to the KSA Kidzink team on their new adventure!
