Lucent Lighting is proud to announce its involvement in the newly opened Il Gattopardo, a sophisticated new restaurant located on Level 51 at ICD Brookfield in Dubai. Il Gattopardo blends Italian heritage with a modern way of life. The lighting, crafted with precision and expertise, plays a pivotal role in shaping the luxurious yet inviting ambience of this extraordinary dining destination.
The lighting design by Isometrix Lighting Design at Il Gattopardo is a celebration of refined sophistication. Soft, ambient lighting casts a warm, golden glow throughout the restaurant, accentuating the mid-century Italian-inspired interiors. Intricate details such as opulent fabrics and sleek finishes are gently highlighted, creating a harmonious balance of intimacy and grandeur. The carefully curated lighting ensures that every corner of the space radiates comfort and elegance, enhancing the dining experience for guests.
To achieve the desired effect, Lucent Lighting provided a range of advanced luminaires. The Edge90 Trimless Downlights deliver seamless, glare-free illumination, adding to the understated elegance of the restaurant, that benefits from sweeping views across the city. TubeLED MINI & MICRO Track Spotlights were utilised to accentuate specific features, highlighting the intricate details of the interiors and the vibrant elements in the lounge and bar area.
In these areas, the lighting takes on a more dynamic and theatrical tone. Track-mounted 3CT Mains Voltage Surface spotlights and subtle accent lighting work in tandem to illuminate key features, including the striking tapestry curtain and the sculptural DJ booth. This thoughtful design injects energy and vibrancy into the space, perfectly complementing the lively vibe of the bar and lounge.
Lucent Lighting’s innovative solutions not only enhance the visual appeal of Il Gattopardo but also contribute to its unique atmosphere. The seamless integration of lighting into the restaurant’s design showcases the power of light to transform a space, elevating it into a realm of glamour and sophistication.
Il Gattopardo, inspired by the iconic Dolce Vita era, is the creation by the renowned designer Lázaro Rosa Violán. With a masterful fusion of Italian mid-century elegance and contemporary flair, the space offers a refined dining experience alongside a vibrant lounge atmosphere.
Set to become one of Dubai’s most coveted destinations, Il Gattopardo embodies luxury and timeless design. Lucent Lighting, a leader in architectural lighting solutions, is celebrated for its commitment to innovation, design excellence and sustainability. With a global portfolio spanning hospitality, retail, commercial sectors and beyond, Lucent Lighting continues to transform spaces, delivering cutting-edge solutions that enhance atmospheres and create unforgettable experiences.
