Exhibition stand design and build Booth contractor in DubaiDesign response
The concept
Brass armillary spheres on polished floor plates and suspended aerodynamic forms were produced to fine tolerances and installed under the pavilion's existing structure, coordinated around the building's own trades.
Result
The outcome
