Renault @ French Pavilion – Exhibition Fabrication & Scenic Engineering, Dubai (2021–2022)
Long-duration exhibition environments require scenic construction that combines visual precision with durability, structural reliability and clean technology integration. For Renault within the France Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, Evolution Scenic fabricated and installed key components for a branded exhibition space that operated throughout the full six-month Expo period, from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022.
Commissioned by Expomobilia MCH Global ME Live Marketing LLC, the scope included a 62m² curved platform, a metal monolith supporting a magnetic LED screen, transparent branding rigging, curved metal surround walls and custom suspension points. CNC and laser cutting were used throughout fabrication to achieve the level of accuracy required for the stand’s refined architectural treatment.
The Challenge
The Renault activation needed to maintain a sleek and highly controlled visual identity within the wider architectural context of the France Pavilion.
The stand incorporated several curved and suspended elements, meaning fabrication tolerances, structural integration and alignment were especially important. The curved platform, aluminium fascia, metal monolith and surrounding wall profiles all needed to work together as part of one coherent environment.
The activation also had to remain operational and visually consistent across the entire duration of Expo 2020, making durability and finish quality important considerations in addition to initial presentation.
Branding and digital content also needed to be integrated cleanly, with transparent printed fabric and a magnetic LED screen incorporated without disrupting the minimal visual language of the stand.
The Solution
Evolution Scenic fabricated a 62m² curved platform finished in semi-gloss, with a curved aluminium fascia forming a clean architectural edge around the structure.
A robust metal monolith was constructed to support the magnetic LED screen, creating the principal digital focal point of the stand.
Custom rigging was developed for transparent printed fabric branding, allowing Renault graphics to be suspended in a lightweight visual format aligned with the wider activation design.
Curved metal walling profiles were also fabricated and installed around the activation area, helping define the stand footprint while maintaining the continuous curved language of the design.
To achieve the required precision, CNC and laser cutting were used across the fabrication process. These methods allowed components to be produced accurately and consistently, particularly where curved forms and tightly coordinated interfaces were required.
Custom rigging points were also developed to work with the venue infrastructure and support the suspended branding elements safely and cleanly.

Outcome
The completed Renault stand created a refined and visually consistent exhibition environment that remained in operation throughout the full duration of Expo 2020.
The curved platform, monolith display structure and surround walls established the architectural character of the space, while the suspended transparent branding and integrated LED screen added digital and graphic layers without compromising the clean visual treatment.
The project demonstrates Evolution Scenic’s ability to deliver high-precision exhibition fabrication where curved geometry, structural detailing, rigging, digital display integration and long-term operational durability all need to work together.
