From Pharma to Art: A Journey of Passion and Purpose
In the bustling metropolis of Dubai, where innovation meets tradition, one name stands out in the realm of interior design: Taher Toumi. At 35, this Tunisian visionary has carved a niche for himself with his business, Taher Toumi Home Art & Design, a testament to his unwavering passion and relentless pursuit of his dreams.
A Journey from Engineering to Art
Taher’s story is one of transformation and courage. Originally an engineer, he spent 12 years in the pharmaceutical industry across London, Paris, and Krakow. Despite a successful career, something was amiss. “I knew that this field was not for me,” Taher recalls. His heart was always drawn to the art and design sector, a calling that he could no longer ignore.
Embracing a New Path in Dubai
Three years ago, Taher made a life-changing decision to move to Dubai, driven by a single goal: to follow his dream of working in the art and design sector. “I came to Dubai with one goal: follow my dream and make it happen,” he says. This decision marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter in his life.
To equip himself with the necessary skills, Taher joined the National Design Academy in Dubai, earning a diploma in interior design. This was followed by a stint at Eden Gallery as an Art Advisor, where he honed his expertise in the art world. “After two years working in the art sector, I decided to open my business and move into an entrepreneurial life,” he shares.

Today, Taher Toumi Home Art & Design is a thriving business, reflecting Taher’s unique approach to interior design. “I’m not only decorating a place, but I offer my energy to each space I design and make it alive, peaceful, and unique,” he explains. His philosophy centers on infusing love and peace into every project, creating spaces that resonate with harmony and beauty.
Art and Interior Design: A Perfect Blend
For Taher, art is an integral part of interior design. He offers his clients expert advice on selecting the right artwork for their homes, whether for aesthetic pleasure or investment purposes. “I help them get the best deal from artists or galleries,” he adds, emphasizing his commitment to his clients’ satisfaction.
A Vision for the Future
Looking ahead, Taher’s dream is to expand his influence across the UAE, the Middle East, and the world. He envisions a future where his unique style and touch are recognized globally. “Today, my dream is to grow in the UAE, Middle East, and worldwide,” he says with conviction. His brand, Taher Toumi Home Art & Design, stands as a beacon of his journey, embodying his values of love and peace.
In Dubai, a city that has welcomed him with open arms, Taher feels a deep sense of gratitude. “I feel proud today to follow my dream, and I feel lucky to be in Dubai, the country that offers me this chance to make this dream happen,” he concludes.
Taher Toumi’s journey from engineering to interior design is an inspiring tale of following one’s passion and turning dreams into reality. His story is a reminder that with determination and a clear vision, anything is possible.
