Oliver Goettling was born in Munich/Germany and grew up in Brussels/Belgium, where he developed an international outlook. After finishing high school he returned to Germany for his university studies. He began visiting Dubai in 2001 and was drawn to the UAE's energy, diversity, and rapid growth. In 2003, he relocated to Dubai to lead a German boutique company, specialising in premium lifestyle products, gaining deep experience in the luxury interiors market.

In 2010, he founded GOETTLING INTERIORS with a vision to combine German engineering with tailored design solutions. His company has since become a recognised name in the high-end interiors sector, known for its client-focused approach, turnkey projects, and commitment to quality. Beyond projects, the brand is built on long-term relationships, trust, and attention to detail.
