DAFZA Food Court

The DAFZA Food Court in Dubai is a refined dining destination within the Dubai Airport Free Zone. KAPHS supplied bronze flat-wire architectural mesh — from the KAPHS Decorative Wire Mesh range — to create striking backdrops and feature panels throughout the space.

Woven from flat rather than round wires, the mesh increases surface area, reduces transparency and amplifies the warmth and brilliance of its bronze tone. The result is a robust yet artistic surface that elevates the food court’s ambience and gives diners a visually distinctive, inviting environment.

Decorative wire mesh at DAFZA Food Court

Offered in stainless steel and aluminium across a wide palette of patterns and finishes, the mesh suits feature walls, ceilings, partitions and balustrades in high-end retail and hospitality interiors.

As the Middle East partner for premium architectural materials, KAPHS supplies the decorative range — decorative wire mesh that brings texture, light play and a premium architectural finish to interiors and feature surfaces. Sourced through Haver & Boecker, the mesh at DAFZA Food Court was engineered to perform in the region’s demanding climate while elevating the building’s identity.

For architects, developers and contractors across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC, this project shows how decorative wire mesh can transform a landmark scheme — balancing aesthetics, daylight, privacy and durability in equal measure. Every panel was selected, engineered and delivered to exacting tolerances, and backed by KAPHS’s regional expertise the result is a surface that looks exceptional on day one and keeps performing for decades in the Middle East climate. As one of the region’s most recognisable installations of its kind, DAFZA Food Court stands as a benchmark reference for specifiers across the GCC.

KAPHS is the Middle East’s specialist supplier of architectural mesh, glass and steel, trusted on landmark projects across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh and Kuwait.
