Formula 1 VVIP Lounge

  • Type: Hospitality

  • Size: 780 m2

  • Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE

  • Year: 2021-2022

The creative process behind the concept was driven by the intense nature of the Formula 1 race, the traces of rubber worn by friction, metal forged by heat, the textures of the tire threads and the roughness of the track’s surface. The space was created for the most important guests of the event – visiting dignitaries and VVIPs.

Custom sculptural desks created by the Studio and installations by young Emirati artists welcome the visitors, who are then taken to the top of the tower through blackened steel elevators.
