Transforming Bain & Co’s Dubai Office with Award-Winning Art
As the UAE’s most tursted office art consutlant and partner, Art Painting Lab transformed the entire Bain & Co office in Dubai, earning the Best Art for Office Spaces 2023 award. Based in Dubai, UAE, our multi-award-winning B2B art consultancy, led by Sam Kaufman Saliba as the lead art consultant and creative director and an amazing team of talended designers and artists, together created a cohesive art collection, including a stunning Arabic calligraphy mural by renowned artist Hazem Kurdali, alongside bespoke wall installations, sculptures, paintings, and biophilic artworks incorporating sand, glass, mozaic, textile, and wood. This project showcases our expertise in providing full service artwork requirements for corporate offices, by coming up with an art plan, designing, making and installing award winning artwork installations. With our in-house team of designers and artisans, we crafted a sophisticated yet impactful art program for Bain & Co’s DIFC office, one of the most sought-after locations for corporate offices in the GCC if not the world. The Arabic calligraphy mural reflects UAE’s cultural heritage, while organic elements create tactile, nature-inspired spaces that enhance employee well-being and client experiences.
Transforming the Corporate Workspace: Art Painting Lab's Award-Winning Project for Bain & Company, Dubai
Art Painting Lab is proud to showcase our landmark project for the Dubai offices of Bain & Company, a global management consulting leader. Located in the heart of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), this ambitious art program was created in collaboration with the acclaimed interior design firm AAID and earned the prestigious "Best Use of Art in Interior Design" award at the Commercial Interior Design Awards. This project stands as a testament to our philosophy: that corporate art should be more than decoration. It should be a strategic tool that embodies brand identity, enhances employee well-being, and creates an unforgettable environment. As leading art consultants in Dubai, we specialize in translating corporate vision into powerful artistic experiences.
A Strategic Art Program for a Global Leader in Dubai
Our mission was to develop a cohesive art collection that aligned with Bain & Company's bold, forward-thinking brand while resonating with the unique cultural landscape of Dubai and the UAE. We dove deep into the brand's ethos and the designer's architectural vision to create a visual language that was both globally sophisticated and locally relevant. The art program features: Custom Artwork & Curation: A complete, end-to-end service from concept to installation. Brand-Led Storytelling: Art that communicates the core values and mission of Bain & Co. Local & Regional Inspiration: Infusing the space with motifs and themes connected to the heritage of the UAE.
Highlights from the Bain & Co. Art Collection
Our team of artists and fabricators in Dubai produced a diverse range of bespoke pieces to activate key areas within the office. The Interactive Lenticular Masterpiece The centerpiece of the collection is a breathtaking large-scale lenticular artwork. Expertly crafted from vertical wooden beams, each side is painted with a different color gradient. This creates a dynamic, interactive experience: As you walk past, the artwork transforms from a calming palette of deep blues to a vibrant spectrum of warm, energetic oranges and yellows. The piece serves as a powerful metaphor for perspective and transformation—the ability to see a challenge from all angles, reflecting the core of Bain & Company's work. This is a leading example of innovative office art in Dubai. Bespoke Sculptures and Cultural Motifs To further enrich the space, we designed and fabricated unique sculptural elements: A bold, red abstract sculpture injects a sense of energy and passion. A sophisticated sculpture evoking the sail of a traditional dhow pays homage to the UAE's heritage of trade and exploration. Subtle integrations of elegant Arabic calligraphy and a custom world map reinforce Bain’s identity as a global firm with deep roots in the region. Art Meets Science: Neuroaesthetics in Your Dubai Office This award-winning project is a case study in the power of neuroaesthetics—the science of how art and design affect our brains. We leveraged this principle to create a workspace that doesn't just look good, but feels good. Enhanced Productivity: The strategic use of color—calming blues for focus and stimulating reds for creativity—helps to support a productive mental state. Employee Well-being: The use of organic forms, engaging textures, and culturally resonant art helps reduce stress and foster a deeper sense of connection and belonging for the team.
