Designing the Perfect Booth
Collaboration is Key
The design process always begins with understanding the client inside and out. At Fekra Events, our team met with NESR executives to develop a deep understanding of their brand essence. With their vision at the forefront, we brainstormed initial concepts designed to blend their innovative solutions seamlessly with an inviting design.
Key Design Elements
Our designs prioritized functionality and visual appeal, and these elements became the cornerstones of NESR’s booth:
- Striking Signage Logo Display: A bold, illuminated NESR logo was placed front to draw attention at a glance.
- Color Palette Consistency: Subtle shades of gray and natural wooden textures created a grounded, earthy feel, perfectly complementing the Water Week theme of sustainability.
- Sustainable Materials: Echoing NESR's commitment to the environment, we incorporated eco-friendly materials into the booth’s construction.
The Production Journey

Once our design was finalized, the clock started ticking on the production process. At Fekra Events, we pride ourselves on managing tight timelines with precision. Here’s a snapshot of the production timeline:
