Sama-L-Ain Gallery

Sama-L-Ain Gallery wanted a street-front space in JBR turned into a gallery where bold contemporary sculpture and pin-art pieces could stand out. Atech Interiors managed the project from approvals through design and build. Outside, we reclad the façade in grey stone with darker stone framing around two arched shopfronts. We added black signage panels with gold English and Arabic lettering, a projecting blade sign and LED cove lighting that lights up the frontage at night. Inside, frameless glass doors open into the gallery, which has polished dark marble-effect flooring and a black stone skirting. The walls have a soft grey textured plaster finish, and white track lighting with adjustable spotlights runs across the ceiling. Custom plinths in white and grey marble-effect finishes, black gloss bases and acrylic stands hold each piece at the right height. A stone staircase with a black metal handrail leads to the upper level, and a seating area in the main room gives clients space to sit and view the collection. The palette of grey, black and white lets the colour and shine of the artwork stand out.
