Stand open on all sidesRiyadh Chamber stand
A single curved canopy over a stand open on every side — no front elevation and no back.
Design detail
We designed and built the Riyadh Chamber stand on one governing decision: that it be open on every side. No front elevation and no back — the visitor enters from wherever they arrive, which raises the number of entry points and with it the chances of engagement. A single curved canopy carries both roles at once: from a distance it reads as a sculptural element marking the stand's position in the hall, and up close it provides shade and defines the space. The palette is contemporary and quiet — soft cream over a warm timber floor — reflecting the Chamber's identity without shouting it.
