The brief
Give a number of small independent exporters their own sellable space while the pavilion still reads as one country from the length of the aisle.

A national food pavilion at Gulfood holding a group of Afghan producers — dried fruit, honey, saffron and fresh produce — under one country identity on the show floor.
The brief in one line
Beauty Sky designed, engineered, built and installed the Afghanistan Pavilion at Gulfood 2021 in Dubai, UAE at Dubai World Trade Centre and Dubai Exhibition Centre. A national food pavilion at Gulfood holding a group of Afghan producers — dried fruit, honey, saffron and fresh produce — under one country identity on the show floor.
Work on a Gulfood project runs from the first concept through technical drawings, organiser approvals, fabrication, transport, installation and dismantling once the show closes, under one contract and one project manager.

Challenge
Give a number of small independent exporters their own sellable space while the pavilion still reads as one country from the length of the aisle.
Design response
A raised red fascia carried the country name above the whole footprint, with an illuminated product banner beneath it. Individual companies took identical white display pods with lit counters and their own signage, so no exhibitor was subordinate to another.
Result
Buyers walking the hall read Afghanistan first and individual suppliers second, which is what a country pavilion is for.
