traffic conceptualized and produced the interiors of the Design Moment tent at Abu Dhabi Art 2009. The tent served as a workspace for 5 regional designers, and was also the site for various design workshops featuring Max Lamb, Sevil Peach and Maarten Bass, as curated by the Vitra Museum.

The design for the Design Moment tent was focused on modular systems and functionality. As designers had to work within the space, the aim was to give them as much control as possible on the aesthetic, as well as provide them with a comfortable work environment.

Working within the Art Abu Dhabi guidelines, traffic also developed a large art-lighting installation (designed by James Clar) which incorporated neon lighting and Kvadrat 'cloud' fabric. This installation helped frame a central viewing area, from which visitors to the tent observed the designers at work,  without getting in the way of their process.
