The Petunia Garden transforms Dubai’s fleeting winter bloom into an illuminated installation.

Inspired by one of Dubai’s most short-lived yet vibrant winter blooms - the petunia, the installation transforms into a large-scale experience of light, reflection and resilience. Flowering for just ninety days each winter, petunias often go unnoticed in the city’s landscape. Duette Studio transforms this brief moment into an enduring experience, with towering illuminated petunia forms emerging from a mirrored base that reflects both the city and its surrounding nature.

During daytime, the polished surface reflects the surrounding architecture and planted landscapes, while by night the petals glow softly, turning the space into a luminous field that invites pause and contemplation.

Produced in collaboration with Blachere Illumination, it is engineered for structural integrity and energy efficiency, embodying Duette Studio’s commitment to emotional design, environmental consciousness and shared experience.
