It's Cebuano, a language of the Philippines and of our family. Katahúm is beauty itself. We chose it because the point of everything we make is simple: that it should be beautiful, and beautifully made.
Outdoor furniture in the Gulf has to do two hard things at once: survive the climate, and still look like something you'd choose.
Most of what's sold here manages one or the other. Tahúm is built on the idea that you shouldn't have to pick. Powder-coated aluminium, solid teak, rope weave and outdoor fabrics, chosen for heat, salt and sun, in forms that are quiet, warm and worth keeping.
We design and source our collections, hold stock in Dubai, and deliver and install with our own team. Nineteen collections, each complete from sofa to side table, so a terrace can be furnished in one language rather than assembled from six.
The founding team comes from mainstream and premium furniture retail in the UAE, with years spent running outdoor-furniture showrooms, buying from the factories, and learning what the climate does to a cushion by October. That experience is the reason the range is what it is.
