Snap a selfie by the world’s largest picture frame.
Signify has worked with Dubai Municipality to light one of the world’s most unusual landmarks. It has provided dynamic color changing architectural lighting for the Dubai Frame – an impressive 150-meter-by-93 meter rectangular structure that resembles a giant picture frame.
The dramatic frame is the perfect vantage point for viewing the city, which is already home to the tallest skyscraper, the largest shopping mall and the longest driverless metro system in the world.
Resembling the largest picture frame on the planet, the Dubai Frame houses a museum and visitor center which charts the rise of the city from its origins for pearl-diving to become one of the world’s most enchanting and vibrant cities.
The Dubai Frame has become a popular backdrop for selfies, providing an actual #nofilter border to countless couples’ romantic poses.
Signify provided its energy efficient architectural LED lighting.
