Under the Sun: A Vibrant Installation by Craig & Karl at ICD Brookfield Place This September

As Dubai’s summer season begins to wind down, there’s still time to experience one of the city’s most colourful creative installations until the end of the month.

Under the Sun transforms the 31-metre-high Summer Garden at ICD Brookfield Place into a vibrant indoor oasis, bringing together oversized inflatable sculptures, bold colours and playful forms inspired by the warmth and energy of the season.

Created by internationally renowned design duo Craig & Karl, the installation invites visitors to step out of the heat and into an immersive world of colour, where flowers, beach balls and abstract inflatable forms fill the expansive atrium.

A final taste of summer in Dubai

September marks a transition in Dubai. The intense summer heat is beginning to ease, but there’s still plenty of reason to seek out cool, indoor things to do across the city.

Whether you’re meeting friends, stopping by for lunch, exploring Dubai’s creative scene or simply looking for an indoor activity in Dubai, the installation provides a colourful space to pause, wander and take in something unexpected.

For Craig & Karl, the idea behind Under the Sun was to capture the warmth, vibrancy, and joy of summer, distilled into one space and experienced from within the expansive Summer Garden atrium. A way to bring the season indoors.

For anyone interested in creative installations in Dubai, design or creative experiences, Under the Sun is an opportunity to see how art can transform a familiar space and create a new way of experiencing it.
