Our design furniture is part of the 2020 Expo

This Expo is very special and has taken on global significance as it is being held one year later than planned in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, which has given participating countries more time to become better prepared. Furthermore, it is also the first time that the World Expo is being held in the Middle East, Africa and South East Asia region.

World Expos give countries the opportunity to exchange culture, innovation and technology, key elements for the advancement of globalisation.

Connecting Minds, Creating the Future is the expo’s slogan, as the concept is based on the belief that innovation and progress are attained by people from different backgrounds and areas coming together to pool ideas with a view to solving global challenges.

Architecture takes to the skies

“Saudi Arabia’s pavilion at Expo 2020 in Dubai is a “window to the world” offering attendees a glimpse of what the future of Saudi Arabia will look like. The pavilion soars skyward with a design celebrating the country’s past”, said Hussain Hanbazazah, Saudi Arabia’s Commissioner General.

“The base of the prism-shaped structure represents modern Saudi society with a deep-rooted history. It rises towards the sky, symbolising the Kingdom’s boundless ambitions”, said Hanbazazah.

The tour of this incredible pavilion kicks off with a digital fountain. Visitors then take a tour around some of the country’s most significant sites, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites. They then reach the Palm Garden, which recreates the country’s natural environment.
