About

Preciosa Lighting crafted 55 bespoke installations for this hotel, each reflecting its eclectic, avant-garde style and embodying a design kaleidoscope. These installations enhance the vibrant, glamorous atmosphere, echoing Dubai's futuristic energy.

The lighting installation in Celeste Bar draws inspiration from the vibrant Parisian Montmartre district, capturing its dynamic spirit through a blend of creativity and sophistication. Complementing the bar's eclectic, hedonistic interior, the installation features 243 handblown crystal spheres, some encased in elegant metal frames. The spheres combine clear glass with delicate bubbles and opal glass, adding a refined touch.
The spheres, ranging from 80 to 350 mm, are crafted in a palette of black and smoky pink, accented with an inner silver coating. This striking metallic finish reflects light, adding depth and dimension to the design.
Named Cloud, the lighting installation in the residence's lobby creates a welcoming atmosphere for guests. It contrasts soft, round forms with the sharp geometry of the polygonal surroundings, adding a dynamic visual appeal.

There are many shapes and forms of Art. Some we are able to hang in our walls, others in our ceilings. What Preciosa makes is art at its best, the intersection of movement, light, weights and music in the air. We often get complimented on the pieces located in our property, especially at SO/ Uptown Dubai’s Residents Lobby and at Celeste, on the hotel side, 34th floor.
