French-Saudi Business Forum, Riyadh — The Making of a Stage

Three days. Two nations. One stage.


On 23, 24 and 25 November 2025, Riyadh Digital City held the French-Saudi Business Forum under a title that is also a road: From Expo 2030 to World Cup 2034. Ministers, ambassadors and delegations from both countries came to talk about the decade ahead — and Business France asked the House of Ci to build the room they would talk in. What follows is that room, from the first empty hall to the last lit tower.

Chapter I · The tower

Every forum needs a symbol to stand under.

Ours was a tower — the silhouette of Paris redrawn as a lattice of Riyadh: its skyline, its palms, its geometry laser-cut into white panels and lit from within. By day it read as sculpture. By night the panels turned blue, white and red on one face and Saudi green on the other, and the foyer became the most photographed room of the Forum.

On the drawing board

Six colourways, one silhouette.

Before a single panel was cut, the tower lived as a 3D model in the studio: a laser-cut lattice of Paris and Riyadh, tested in six colourways — sand for the day, white, blue and red for the French face, green for the Saudi face, and a blush for the evening. The model already carried its own screen and seating; the booth you see in the photos below is the one that left the screen.

Chapter II · The booths

A floor for French innovation.

Around the tower the house laid out the floor: a run of white booths for the French delegation — the Booster Grow Global 2025 companies among them — a press wall carrying every partner’s name, and a wall that simply said Make it Iconic. Business France would later single out the booths for their clarity, coherence and visual impact.

Chapter III · Behind the curtain

Two days before, the room was empty.

A ballroom with nothing in it but carpet and possibility. Then a scaffold, a stage rig, trucks in the lobby and a tower arriving in pieces — panels fitted by hand, the colours of the Embassy of France going up beside them. Slide through the build; it is the part of the Forum no guest was meant to see.

Then the doors opened.

Two ministers at one podium, panels under the lights, roundtables ringed with small flags, agreements signed on a stage that had not existed seventy-two hours earlier. For three days the room did what it was built to do: it held the conversation.

Riyadh skyline lit in green for Saudi National Day

Saudi National Day — The Kingdom’s Day, from the House of Ci

The Kingdom’s day.


On 23 September, Saudi Arabia marks its 96th National Day. For a house whose home is the Kingdom, this is not a date on a calendar — it is the day the ground beneath all our work celebrates. From everyone at the House of Ci: happy National Day.

23 September · National Day
96
years of one Kingdom.

From the unification of 1932 to Vision 2030 — one name for one land, and a future being built in the very cities where this house works.

The official identity of the 96th National Day

The towers of Riyadh lit in green for Saudi National Day

The night
The night the city turns green.
Chapter I · The colour of the day

A country wearing one colour.

There is a night each September when Riyadh changes colour. The towers trade their whites and golds for green, flags run the length of the boulevards, and the city that spends all year building its future stops for one evening to look at how far it has come. A national day is, in its way, design at national scale — streets, skylines and stages all wearing one colour, one story told by a million lights at once.

That is why this day means something particular to the house. The Kingdom is not a market to us; it is the ground floor of the whole building. Our studios draw for Riyadh’s skyline, our engineers answer to Saudi codes, our event teams build the stages where the country’s milestones are celebrated — and on the morning after every National Day, we go back to work on the very future the fireworks were about.

Chapter II · Our nature

Six traits, one pride.

This year’s National Day identity is built on six traits of the Saudi character — each with its own colour, its own symbol and its own line. We recognise every one of them in the people we build for, and with.

عزّنا بكرمنا
Generosity · الكرم

The dallah, the finjan and the palm fronds of a welcome — hospitality that begins before the guest arrives.

عزّنا بأصالتنا
Authenticity · الأصالة

The family tree and the strand of DNA — values handed down, a heritage carried forward whole.

عزّنا بجودنا
Exceptional giving · الجود

The mabkharah and the oud — a culture of giving and gratitude that perfumes every meeting.

عزّنا برؤيتنا
Vision · الرؤية

Vision 2030 woven into Al-Sadu — a future drawn without letting go of the roots.

عزّنا بشجاعتنا
Courage · الشجاعة

Al-Ajrab, the sword of Imam Turki bin Abdullah — the courage that kept the land whole and safe.

عزّنا بهمّتنا
Determination · الهمّة

Tuwaiq and the Najdi door — “the ambition of the Saudis is like Mount Tuwaiq.”

Chapter III · Three portraits

The founder, the King and the Crown Prince.

Walk into any room of state in the Kingdom and three portraits watch over the conversation: King Abdulaziz Al Saud, who gathered the land; King Salman bin Abdulaziz, who leads it; and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is drawing its future. Ninety-six years sit between the first portrait and the last — and every project this house builds in Saudi Arabia is, in some small way, part of that line.

The green on the skyline tonight is the same green on the drawings tomorrow morning.

And if your own celebration needs a stage — a pavilion, a facade of light, a night the city remembers — that is quite literally what this house does.

A Letter from Business France - the French-Saudi Business Forum, Riyadh

A letter from Business France.


In December 2025, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Business France wrote to the House of Ci about the French-Saudi Business Forum in Riyadh — held under the momentum of Expo 2030 and the Road to World Cup 2034. This page keeps the letter exactly as we received it, and answers it.

The letter, in three words
Creativity. Vision. Excellence.

Signed in Paris on 17 December 2025, about a stage built in Riyadh three weeks earlier — and the three words Business France chose to describe the work of the house.

Some projects end with a handover. A few end with a letter. When France and Saudi Arabia brought their flagship business forum to Riyadh, the House of Ci was asked to give the day its stage — the scenography, the booths, the visual identity that would carry two countries’ ambitions in one room. The result, in Business France’s own words, played “a decisive role in the success of this flagship event.”

The letter singles out the clarity, coherence and visual impact of the booths — including those built for the Booster Grow Global 2025 program — and gives special recognition, by name, to our Art Director Mrs. Jane Jbara, for direction that helped place French innovation at the centre of the stage. It closes looking forward: to working together again, “whether in Riyadh, Dubai or Paris.”

Letter from Business France to Rabih Ela, CEO of Cedrus International, thanking CI DESIGN for the French-Saudi Business Forum in Riyadh
Signature of Didier Boulogne, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Business France

Signed in Paris, 17 December 2025 — page two of the letter.
Word for word

Subject: Thank You for an Outstanding Creative Contribution to the French-Saudi Business Forum.

Dear Mr. Rabih Ela, on behalf of Business France, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to you, and through you to the entire CI DESIGN / Cedrus International team, for the remarkable work delivered in the framework of our partnership during the French-Saudi Business Forum — Expo 2030, Road to World Cup 2034, held in Riyadh.

The creativity, artistic vision and technical excellence showcased by CI DESIGN played a decisive role in the success of this flagship event. The scenography, booths and overall visual identity brought a strong sense of elegance, innovation and precision, perfectly aligned with the strategic momentum of the Forum and the ambition of the France–Saudi Arabia partnership.

We were particularly impressed by the high level of design mastery and execution demonstrated throughout the project. The booths, including those dedicated to the Booster Grow Global 2025 program, stood out for their clarity, coherence and strong visual impact. In this regard, I would like to express special recognition to Ms. Jane Jbara, Art Director, whose outstanding artistic direction and attention to detail significantly contributed to highlighting French expertise, innovation and the excellence of our French Tech companies on stage.

Beyond aesthetics, the artistic dimension of the scenography enabled our companies to be highly visible, clearly positioned and strongly valued, reinforcing Business France’s ambition to place French innovation at the heart of major international events.

We would also like to warmly thank all CI DESIGN teams who worked hand in hand with our Business France Riyadh teams, demonstrating professionalism, commitment and a true spirit of partnership to make this day a memorable and impactful sequence.

Business France is proud to have activated this collaboration with CI DESIGN at a moment of strong strategic momentum between our two countries. We sincerely hope to continue this fruitful partnership and would be delighted to work again with Cedrus International on future events, whether in Riyadh, Dubai or Paris.

Please accept our warmest thanks and congratulations for this outstanding achievement. Yours sincerely, Didier Boulogne, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Business France.

A word from the house

To Mr. Boulogne and every colleague at Business France — thank you for your trust. A house is only asked to build the stage of nations when it has earned belief, and you gave us yours at a moment that matters to France and Saudi Arabia alike. On behalf of Art Director Mrs. Jane Jbara, the studio, and every hand that built the Forum — merci, et à bientôt. We will meet again, in Riyadh, Dubai or Paris.

A special, heartfelt thank you to Mr. Rachid Boulaouine, Head of Business France Saudi Arabia. From the very first brief to the last night of the Forum, Rachid stood beside the house — opening doors, holding the line when the clock was against us, and trusting our hands with the stage of two nations. This Forum carries his signature as much as ours. Merci, Rachid.

Our thanks go equally to Mr. Axel Baroux, Head of Business France Middle East — and to the whole Business France team, among them Mrs. Hager Ben Nasr, Mr. Alexandre d’Espinose de Lacaillerie, Mr. Julien Barlier and Mr. Jean-Nicolas Hinard — for their trust and confidence in the House of Ci, and for their support at every step, from the first brief to the last light.

Un mot de la maison

À M. Boulogne et à chaque collègue de Business France — merci pour votre confiance. Une maison n’est invitée à bâtir la scène des nations que lorsqu’elle a mérité d’être crue, et vous nous avez accordé la vôtre à un moment qui compte pour la France comme pour l’Arabie saoudite. Au nom de la directrice artistique Mme Jane Jbara, du studio et de chaque main qui a construit le Forum — merci, et à bientôt. Nous nous retrouverons, à Riyad, à Dubaï ou à Paris.

Et un merci tout particulier, du fond du cœur, à M. Rachid Boulaouine, directeur de Business France Arabie saoudite. Du premier brief à la dernière soirée du Forum, Rachid est resté aux côtés de la maison — ouvrant les portes, tenant le cap quand le temps jouait contre nous, et confiant à nos mains la scène de deux nations. Ce Forum porte sa signature autant que la nôtre. Merci, Rachid.

Notre gratitude va également à M. Axel Baroux, directeur de Business France Moyen-Orient — ainsi qu’à toute l’équipe de Business France, et parmi elle Mme Hager Ben Nasr, M. Alexandre d’Espinose de Lacaillerie, M. Julien Barlier et M. Jean-Nicolas Hinard — pour leur confiance en la House of Ci et pour leur soutien à chaque étape, du premier brief à la dernière lumière.

Luxury Office Desk Collections in Saudi Arabia — Art Deco Elegance by Ci

The desk as a statement of leadership.


The office desk is more than a surface to work on — it is a symbol of identity, success and ambition. In executive environments it becomes the centerpiece of the room, shaping how leadership is perceived and how work is experienced. The House of Ci honors that with exclusive Art Deco desk collections, in Saudi Arabia and internationally.

AT A GLANCE

The Art Deco era revolutionized design with bold lines, geometric symmetry and opulent finishes. Ci draws from that legacy: luxury desk collections with the same strength, elegance and detail that made Art Deco a global movement.

Sourced from renowned European manufacturers, aligned with complete office interior design and fit-out — furniture, interiors and architecture as one vision.

 

The essentials of a luxury office desk.


What defines a Ci Art Deco desk:

✓ Geometric Boldness – striking silhouettes that command presence in executive offices.

✓ Luxurious Materials – rare woods, lacquered finishes, leathers and polished metals.

✓ Refined Craftsmanship – every detail meticulously executed by world-class makers.

✓ Timeless Appeal – designs that transcend fashion and endure as modern classics.

✓ Executive & Hybrid Pieces – commanding desks, some blending heritage with integrated technology.

✓ Bespoke Finishes – materials and details customizable to your interior and identity.

How the house thinks.


Each luxury office desk collection is sourced from renowned European makers who share the house’s commitment to craftsmanship and excellence — pieces designed for the practical needs of modern professionals while preserving the artistic legacy of Art Deco.

Unlike standard suppliers, Ci provides more than furniture. Our design and build expertise delivers complete office transformations where furniture, interiors and architecture converge into one cohesive vision.

That is the quiet advantage of one roof: the desk, the room and the building answering to a single standard — yours.

Biophilic & Bionic Interior Design: Transforming the Modern Office Environment

Offices that grow, breathe and think.


The modern office is undergoing a profound transformation. No longer a purely functional space, the workplace is now a vital environment that shapes well-being, productivity and collaboration. The House of Ci embraces this shift through biophilic and bionic interior design — offices that inspire, energize and connect.

AT A GLANCE

Biophilic design weaves organic materials, greenery and flowing layouts into the fabric of the office; bionic design lets technology and form follow the efficiency and elegance of nature’s patterns.

The result: sustainable, forward-thinking workplaces — aligned with Saudi Vision 2030 and the momentum of Expo 2030 Riyadh.

 

The essentials.


What biophilic-bionic design gives back to the people who work inside it:

✓ Less Stress – exposure to natural elements is proven to calm and restore.

✓ More Creativity – nature-inspired settings measurably boost idea flow.

✓ A Reason to Return – in the hybrid era, the office must out-invite the home.

✓ Living Interiors – indoor gardens, natural soundscapes and daylight-led planning.

✓ Nature’s Engineering – forms that follow biology perform as well as they look.

✓ Sustainability, Embodied – materials and systems chosen the way nature chooses: efficiently.

How the house thinks.


Bionic design is more than an aesthetic movement — it is an interdisciplinary process inspired by natural systems and scientific principle. Drawing from biology, the house creates solutions that are functional and refined at once: every curve and every workspace element following both design intuition and science.

Traditional methods often separate appearance from performance; bionic design integrates both seamlessly. The outcome is environments that feel natural, operate efficiently and age gracefully.

With a strong focus on Saudi Vision 2030 and Expo 2030 Riyadh, Ci continues to pioneer workplace solutions where creativity, sustainability and cutting-edge design converge — offices that are hubs of innovation, well-being and cultural expression.

Acoustic Partitions for Office Design in Saudi Arabia

The sound of focus.


Acoustic comfort is essential to modern office design. Cedrus International® House of Ci brings it through elegant acoustic partitions and sound-absorbing elements — the simplest, most effective way to reduce unwanted noise while enhancing productivity and well-being in the workplace.

AT A GLANCE

Acoustic partitions serve a double duty: they quiet the open plan and sharpen speech, so conversations, presentations and meetings stay clear and effective.

Refined finishes, textures and forms — sound control that elevates the interior instead of interrupting it.

 

The essentials.


Why the quietest detail in the room may be the hardest working one:

✓ Noise, Reduced – background distraction is the open plan’s oldest enemy; partitions retire it.

✓ Focus, Returned – calmer rooms measurably lift concentration and performance.

✓ Speech, Clarified – better intelligibility means smoother collaboration and faster decisions.

✓ Wellness, Built In – lower noise stress makes the office healthier by design.

✓ Beauty, Kept – panels and partitions finished as furniture, not as equipment.

✓ Flexibility, Gained – zones, meeting nooks and quiet rooms composed without walls.

How the house thinks.


In the realm of modern office design, the house has redefined workplace comfort through acoustic partitions and sound-absorbing elements — solutions elegant in their simplicity and among the most effective ways to create environments that are quieter, more productive and more enjoyable to inhabit.

At Ci, functionality is never separated from design. Our acoustic elements blend seamlessly into interiors with refined finishes, textures and forms. They do more than absorb sound — they elevate the ambiance of the office, contributing to spaces that feel modern, balanced and visually engaging.

It is through details like these that Cedrus International® continues to stand among the leading interior design companies in Saudi Arabia — delivering workplaces as comfortable as they are inspiring.

Balance is the quiet rule of the house: timeless elegance with contemporary design, immediate needs with long-term goals. By integrating eco-conscious practice into office interior design and fit-out contracting, each project serves the day it opens and the decade that follows.

Our dedication does not stop at handover. We conduct detailed evaluations of how every design performs in real life — refining, adapting and supporting clients long after the keys are handed over. Success is not measured only by timely delivery, but by how the space enhances productivity, satisfaction and growth.

Ultimately the mission goes beyond building offices: with integrated design and build services across Saudi Arabia, Ci crafts sustainable, innovative, human-centered workspaces where people feel inspired to do their best work.

Riyadh Is About to Come Alive



Music has always had the power to cross borders, languages and cultures.

It gives thousands of people one rhythm to share.

House of Ci is developing this upcoming Riyadh music festival around one simple but powerful idea:

Through moments that remain long after the final sound disappears.

This will not simply be about watching a performance.

It will be about experiencing a moment together.

More Than Music



House of Ci approaches experiences through the same multidisciplinary philosophy that defines Cedrus International®.

For an event to become memorable, these elements cannot exist independently.

The upcoming House of Ci music festival is therefore being envisioned not simply as a stage and an audience, but as an integrated experience where music, space, technology and people come together.

Every detail contributes to how the moment is felt.

The Music. The People. The Moment.



The most extraordinary live experiences are not remembered because of one element alone.

They are remembered because of how everything came together at one particular moment.

The energy of thousands of people sharing the same experience.

That is the experience House of Ci wants to create.

Why Riyadh?



Riyadh is becoming one of the world’s most dynamic destinations for culture, entertainment, creativity, design, hospitality and international experiences.

The city continues to evolve with extraordinary ambition, attracting new ideas, new audiences and new forms of cultural expression.

House of Ci sees music as another language through which people can connect with that evolving energy.

An international city deserves international experiences.

How Cedrus International® Integrates Quantum 3D Mapping and Music Synchronization in Stage Building and Global Event Production



In today’s era of immersive design, architecture has evolved far beyond its traditional boundaries. It no longer stands still — it moves, vibrates, and interacts with human emotion. This transformation is driven by a new convergence of art and science, where quantum technology, 3D projection mapping, and music synchronization combine to create a living, breathing form of architecture.

06   A Global Vision Rooted in Innovation


07   When Science Becomes Art

At the forefront of this revolution stands Cedrus International® House of Ci — a global leader redefining how spaces are designed, built, and experienced. From concept to execution, Ci brings quantum precision and immersive intelligence into every project, offering world-class stage building and event production technologies across the globe, including Saudi Arabia and beyond.

The Rise of Quantum-Enhanced 3D Mapping



Traditional projection mapping has long been admired for its ability to transform physical structures into visual spectacles. However, with the integration of quantum computing principles and AI-assisted mapping algorithms, the precision, depth, and realism of these projections have reached entirely new levels.

Quantum 3D mapping leverages the principles of data superposition and probabilistic modeling to analyze millions of geometric and light variables simultaneously. This allows for ultra-fine calibration of projection surfaces, even across complex architectural geometries or large outdoor environments.

Through this technology, Ci’s systems can synchronize light particles, color frequencies, and motion data in real time — ensuring that every beam of light interacts perfectly with the physical surface, regardless of scale, distance, or texture. The result is an almost holographic experience, where architecture becomes quantum-responsive, shifting and resonating with sound and energy.

When Architecture Listens to Music



The integration of music synchronization gives Ci’s architectural experiences an emotional pulse. Using real-time audio analysis and frequency mapping, every musical note triggers a visual and spatial response across the projected surface.

When music meets quantum mapping, each tone generates its own vibration field, which the system translates into dynamic visuals and lighting patterns. A deep bass note ripples through walls like a wave; a melody becomes a cascade of light; rhythm transforms into movement.

This audio-visual synchronization ensures that the stage is not merely a backdrop — it becomes a performer. Every projection, every light, every structural reflection dances in harmony with the music, delivering an emotional resonance that captures audiences at a sensory and subconscious level.

The Engineering Behind the Emotion



At the core of Cedrus International®’s expertise lies a powerful combination of architecture, engineering, and digital science.

Each project begins with quantum-precision 3D scanning and LiDAR mapping, creating a detailed digital twin of the stage or architectural structure. This allows the team to simulate and test every effect before execution.

✓ Ultra-high lumen laser projectors, capable of projecting quantum-calibrated light frequencies over vast architectural surfaces.


✓ AI-driven rendering engines integrated with quantum mapping algorithms, ensuring precise geometric alignment.

✓ Advanced media servers managing thousands of synchronized signals — light, sound, and motion — with millisecond accuracy.


✓ Real-time control systems enabling responsive adaptation to live performances, audience interaction, and ambient environmental changes.

This intricate network forms what Ci describes as a Quantum Architectural Ecosystem — where every system component communicates in perfect synchronization, achieving harmony between design intent, physics, and perception.

Auxiliary Works: The Silent Architecture of Perfection



Beneath every large-scale projection or performance lies a foundation of auxiliary works — the invisible engineering that makes the impossible possible.

Ci’s auxiliary services are designed with architectural precision and include:

✓ Structural reinforcement systems to sustain heavy projection rigs and sound infrastructures.


✓ Power and data synchronization networks, enabling uninterrupted multi-system performance.

✓ Climate and environmental adaptation, maintaining light stability and projection focus under extreme outdoor conditions.


✓ Acoustic calibration systems, ensuring that sound and light remain aligned through every frequency shift.

These auxiliary layers: form the hidden architecture of stage production — technical artistry built with the same care and intelligence as permanent architectural works.

A Global Vision Rooted in Innovation



Cedrus International® operates with a global vision — delivering experiential architecture and quantum-driven 3D mapping solutions to clients worldwide.

From Saudi Arabia’s most ambitious cultural events to international exhibitions, brand experiences, and high-end concerts, Ci’s teams create spaces that merge precision engineering with emotional design.

Each project reflects Ci’s belief that architecture should not only house experiences — it should become the experience itself. By blending design intelligence, advanced projection technology, and quantum music synchronization, Cedrus International® offers a new kind of stage: one that transcends structure and transforms into emotion.

When Science Becomes Art



The fusion of quantum technology, 3D mapping, and music synchronization marks a defining moment in modern design. It is where architecture meets consciousness, where data becomes light, and where rhythm becomes structure.

Through this synthesis, Cedrus International® continues to build not only spaces but sensations — environments that live, move, and communicate.

This is not the future of architecture. This is architecture becoming energy.
