Amid the grandeur of Expo 2025 Osaka, the Tunisia Pavilion chooses resonance over excess. Its sculptural mosaic façade merges Carthaginian patterns with delicate jasmine motifs, creating a textured, poetic surface that bridges heritage and contemporary design.

Inside, four immersive spaces guide visitors on a sensory journey:

  • The Echo – shadows and Carthaginian masks evoke memory and reflection.

  • The Momentum – desert constellations and poetic voices celebrate creativity and resilience.

  • The Awakening – projections highlight Tunisian innovation and forward-thinking vision.

  • The Essence – a circular sanctum honors heritage with mosaics, olive trees, and artisanal experiences.

The journey concludes in a fragrant jasmine garden, offering an olfactory pause and emotional connection to Tunisia. A discreet VIP lounge, inspired by Tunisian medina interiors, provides a private, tactile retreat within the pavilion.
