Project information

Dune Studios designed the new retail environment for Al Ghadeer Emirati Crafts, the Abu Dhabi institution dedicated to preserving and promoting Emirati craftsmanship. The space is conceived as a calm, graphic interior landscape: a sequence of framed openings and layered walls that become shelving, display platforms, and seating, letting the architecture itself act as the furniture.

A monumental frieze of traditional patterns crowns the room, while sand-filled plinths and sculpted pedestals present the collection as an oasis within the desert. The result blends craftsmanship, memory, and a deep connection to place into a tactile, contemporary shopping experience.
