Rixos Premium Dubai Unveils Limited-Time Art Installation in Collaboration with Ahadi & Sharifi

Dubai, UAE (23 June 2025): Art enthusiasts are set to descend on Rixos Premium Dubai, the bold lifestyle destination nestled in the heart of Jumeirah Beach Residence, to witness its striking new art collaboration with visionary sculptors Ahadi & Sharifi. For a limited time only, four captivating sculptures, namely Yogi Man, Panther’s Descent, Dancing Woman, and the limited-edition Golden Horse Head, will be on display at the hotel, transforming its contemporary spaces into a gallery of innovation and expression. The installation will first be showcased in the hotel lobby for one month before being relocated throughout the property for an additional two months, with the full exhibition running until the end of September.

This collaboration marks the first partnership between Rixos Premium Dubai and Ahadi & Sharifi, uniting the hotel’s cutting-edge architectural design with the studio’s extraordinary approach to sculpture. The synergy is undeniable, with both the hotel and the artists continuously exploring the boundaries between modernity and tradition, creating immersive experiences that leave a lasting impression on every visitor.

Founded by Hamid Kaseb-Ahadi and Mohammad-Hossein Sharifi, Ahadi & Sharifi is a creative studio dedicated to crafting distinctive, three-dimensional sculptures inspired by forgotten worlds and intricate details. With roots in engineering, origami, and visual art, both Hamid and Mohammad-Hossein bring an imaginative flair and meticulous technique to their metalwork, creating pieces that celebrate structure, motion, and emotional resonance. Their studio is guided by the three principles of create, inspire, and amaze, a philosophy evident in every one of their creations.

Each of the four sculptures has been carefully selected to complement and enhance Rixos Premium Dubai’s dynamic setting. Panther’s Descent, a powerful metallic tribute to grace and stealth, balances atop a rocky geometric base, its angular form echoing the sleek lines of the hotel’s avant-garde architecture. As light plays across its faceted surface, the sculpture becomes a visual metaphor for the wild energy pulsing through the property.

Nearby, the Golden Horse Head gleams with regal intensity. Inspired by the Arabic letter “ح” or “H”, the first letter in the word for horse, this limited-edition piece fuses fluid equine curves with parametric design and industrial strength. Its golden finish adds a touch of luxury that resonates with the aesthetics of the hotel, reflecting both cultural reverence and modern craftsmanship.

Another highlight is the Dancing Woman, a mesmerising aluminium sculpture that captures motion through a technique known as Vanishing Sliced Sculpture. With its sleek composition and graceful silhouette, this piece brings a sense of lightness and emotional depth to its surroundings. As sunlight filters through its negative spaces, it shifts with the day, creating an ever-changing dance between form and light.

Finally, Yogi Man is a serene figure embodying mindfulness and balance, symbolic traits that Rixos Premium Dubai encourages through its blend of leisure and lifestyle. This disappearing sculpture intrigues viewers with its parametric style, playing with perception as it seemingly vanishes and reappears depending on the angle, offering a dynamic, interactive experience.

As the exhibition progresses beyond the lobby, each sculpture will be repositioned in key locations throughout the hotel, allowing guests to engage with the artworks in new ways over time.

This rare collaboration is not to be missed, as the city’s social explorers and cultural connoisseurs can discover these breathtaking works and witness firsthand how art, architecture, and ambience can come together to redefine luxury. Explore the collection before it disappears and witness the captivating brilliance of Ahadi & Sharifi firsthand.
