Baikalkvartsamotsvety Showcased Unique Siberian Stones at INDEX Dubai 2025 - Charоite, Jade, and Ophicalcite At the international exhibition INDEX Dubai 2025, Baikalkvartsamotsvety presented its exceptional Siberian stones - charoite, jade, and ophicalcite marking a new chapter in the world of architecture and interior design. For the company whose name embodies the natural strength and depth of Russian land, participation in INDEX became a significant step toward international recognition and the establishment of new partnerships.
How natural materials are transforming into elements of contemporary interior design, whyBaikalkvartsamotsvety» is entering the Middle Eastern market right now, and what role natural aesthetics play in the era of high-tech spaces — all this is shared by the company’s Commercial Director, Oksana Vlasova.
— What became the key takeaway for your company from participating in INDEX Dubai 2025?
The most valuable experience for us was gaining a true understanding of the international interior design market’s needs. INDEX Dubai is not just an exhibition it’s a vibrant platform for direct communication and idea exchange between architects, designers, and distributors from around the world.
We felt a strong interest in our materials, especially in the unique stones of Siberia - charoite, mined exclusively in the Baikal region and unmatched anywhere on Earth; Siberian jade, which remains the benchmark for quality, color, and durability; and ophicalcite, a rare architectural stone with a rich history.
The exhibition audience showed a deep appreciation for detail, quality, and aesthetics - confirming that our strategy, built on authenticity, technological excellence, and the cultural value of natural stone, resonates far beyond Russia’s borders.
— The interior segment is new for your company. Why did you decide to develop it now and enter the Dubai market?
We’ve been observing growing interest in our stones from architects and designers for quite some time. Today, there’s a global shift toward natural materials and authentic textures. People are no longer seeking mere decoration they want objects with history and energy.
When you touch charoite or jade, you can feel the living breath of the earth its strength and timelessness. These materials perfectly align with the modern trend toward honesty, natural beauty, and individuality.
Undoubtedly, Dubai is the logical entry point for this direction. It’s a global hub for the interior industry a place where ambitious and visually bold projects are born. Here, natural luxury is truly appreciated, and now is the right moment to make ourselves known in this market.
Participation in INDEX Dubai was a natural and strategic step our entry point into dialogue with those who shape the future of interior design.
— You participated in INDEX Dubai 2025 with the support of a partner. What role did this partnership play in your entry into the international arena?
Partnership became a key factor in our success. In a time when international trade is becoming increasingly complex, having a reliable local partner in the UAE was essential. They not only helped organize our participation in INDEX Dubai 2025 and manage all logistical aspects but also provided invaluable insight into the region’s cultural and business context. Thanks to this collaboration, we were able to present our products in a way that resonated with the local audience and was both understood and appreciated. Without such support, entering the Middle Eastern market would have required much more time and resources. This partnership became our bridge into a new professional environment and opened doors that once seemed far beyond reach.
What steps are you planning to take to further develop the interior direction?
We’re moving forward consistently with inspiration and confidence. At the moment, we’re developing a specialized interior collection that includes panels, countertops, and decorative elements made from charoite, jade, and ophicalcite, drawing on the experience we gained at INDEX Dubai.
We’re also preparing to participate in upcoming design events across the region including the next edition of INDEX and are creating a bilingual catalog (English and Arabic) showcasing applications of natural stone in interior design.
In parallel, we’re negotiating collaborations with leading architecture and design studios, and planning to open our own showroom, where clients will be able to experience the beauty and energy of our materials firsthand.
Our goal is not just to produce stone products, but to become a true creative partner for architects and designers helping shape spaces where the power of nature becomes an integral part of design.
