My Beautiful City creatively produced the London flagship launch for Assouline’s Abu Dhabi Bright—an evening that brought the Emirate’s heritage into the publisher’s townhouse setting. In consultation with the Department of Culture and Tourism, Abu Dhabi, we framed the title with a compact exhibition: book-led plinths, curated image walls and quiet reading nooks designed for dwell time and elegant capture. Emirati artisans demonstrated traditional weaving techniques in situ, turning craft into live storytelling as guests explored the pages with dates and coffee service. Wayfinding, pacing and lighting were tuned for a clear journey—arrivals → browse → craft demo → hospitality—delivering a cultured, camera-ready launch that doubled as a concise itinerary for the city
