Ghaffari Exhibition Booth

Silver A' Design Award Winner 2025

Mohammad Hakiminia's Ghaffari Exhibition Booth commands immediate visual attention through a masterful orchestration of chromatic contrast, where a saturated cadmium yellow-orange surface sweeps boldly from the left vertical plane across a generous horizontal platform, establishing the compositional nucleus against an enveloping field of carbon black flooring that absorbs and grounds the luminous intervention. The architectural gesture of the curved wall element, rendered in warm amber tones graduating toward deep burnt orange at its apex, creates a dramatic repoussoir that guides the viewer's eye inward while simultaneously establishing volumetric depth through its graceful arc. The compositional architecture adheres to principles of dynamic asymmetry, with the brilliant yellow platform positioned according to golden section proportions, occupying roughly one-third of the lower visual field while extending horizontally toward a vertical accent wall of matching chromatic intensity bearing typographic elements. The spatial organization presents three distinct zones: the immersive product display area at right featuring illuminated cubic pedestals in charcoal gray and luminous white, the central activated platform with its geometric yellow furniture piece suggesting both functionality and sculptural presence, and the recessed hospitality zone visible through the curved aperture where muted earth tones and comfortable seating offer respite. Industrial zenithal lighting from the exposed steel truss ceiling bathes the environment in cool neutral illumination, creating subtle temperature contrast with the warm chromatic surfaces below. The textural dialogue between the matte black floor, the smooth painted surfaces, the plush gray upholstered cubes, and the crystalline transparency of product vitrines demonstrates sophisticated material choreography. Edge behaviors alternate between the soft organic curve of the amber wall and the crisp geometric precision of the platform edge, establishing visual rhythm through formal opposition. This exhibition design resonates with contemporary minimalist spatial practice while honoring traditions of theatrical environmental branding through bold chromatic statements.

The core idea of the project was to place a large TV wall along the primary axis of the site. This screen serves as a dynamic visual element for presenting the brand’s diverse content. On its 60th anniversary, Ghafari Chemical Industries underwent a significant transformation, including a rebranding process, a revamp of its visual identity and packaging, and the launch of new products, all of which needed to be highlighted at the exhibition.
