Following the factory project in Qing Bai Jiang (China), the company who is one of the world’s major market leaders in tubing and casing for the oil and natural gas industry chose to establish a corporate headquarter in Dubai’s Airport free zone (U.A.E).
The allocated space is a large open-floor plan fully exposed to the airport runways.
The design made the most of the close relationship between the office space and the airport in order to capture the view and take advantage of natural daylight, thus the idea of transparency which reveals itself throughout the project. The division of the space is irregular though highly geometrical, breaking up the open-floor plan, creating wide- angle views and accentuating perspective.

The interior gathers an array of different materials and textures, hard and soft, ranging from wool carpeting and wool upholstered walls, to linoleum flooring, glass walls and vertical surfaces clad with particularly designed golden aluminum modules by Cai-Light. These modules map the corridor walls and animate them by capturing light. Fluorescent light is applied to the ceiling with a twist, while the “Stocking” light fixtures finished with handmade crochet add a homey dimension to the corporate space.

Carefully chosen furniture and customized furniture pieces emphasize the homelike ambiance and come as a surprise in different corners of the space: mademoiselle chair by Kartell, and more classic items such as Eames lounge chair and sofa Le Corbusier by Vitra.
