We are excited to share with you the details of our recent project for the newly opened fine dining restaurant Aniba, Singapore.

The project presented a unique challenge. One of the lighting fixtures would function as centerpiece and needed to be custom designed to be in perfect harmony with the ambiance of the upscale dining establishment. We will take you through the project step-by-step, highlighting the various stages of the process.

Concept and brainstorm

The initial brainstorm session was together with Tzach Cohen L ight Design and Nir Ran Design. The restaurant, featuring many natural elements both in materials and shapes, was in need of a centerpiece for its bar area that would elevate the ambience. Tzach Cohen approached us with a basic sketch as a starting point; a lighting installation resembling a tree. It quickly became clear that the solution was a one-of-a-kind custom piece.

Concept realization

For the custom lighting piece we drew inspiration from the Palms Family, an existing collection of Aqua Creations. Our Project Manager Yuval Levi, was able to transform the sketch into a professional technical drawing.

After the technical drawings were approved our artisans started welding the metal frame, after which the wiring is implemented. Lastly, the organza fabric and silk are hand-pleated onto the structure. Our ability to take an initial idea and turn it into a polished and well-executed design is a reflection of our team's expertise and attention to detail.

Result

A harmonious play of light and color. The custom 18 Palms lighting fixture functions like a canopy and creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for guests throughout their dining experience.

Three Morning Glory Floor Lamps were carefully selected to serve as statement pieces for the lounge and private dining room, expertly complementing the natural elements present throughout the restaurant.
