About the project
The Toplum Restaurant in Dubai, has an elegant and simple aesthetic. Designed by XO Atelier, the space has a stunning geometry that provides serenity to the visitors. The restaurant pays homage to regional Mediterranean architecture, taking a light, contemporary approach that is perfectly aligned to the demands of its operations. The easy ambience coupled with a gentle colour palette sets the tone.
“I wanted to create a contemporary design language incorporating classic forms of Mediterranean architecture, evoking the region’s rich materials, soft palette and lighting,” says Vera Dieckmann, Founder of XO Atelier. “Harmonising all these elements, created the distinctive atmosphere and lifestyle we experience and enjoy on trips to Italy or Greece”.
Lighting was a key identifier for the project. XO Atelier worked with Preciosa Lighting to execute the design of the sunset-inspired light feature. The designers also collaborated with another Czech lighting brand, Sklo, to produce the ‘Balance’ Pendant. This customised approach lends a graceful and distinctive atmosphere, with arches of the light being repeated throughout. For the furniture, XO Atelier engaged Billiani Italy and Kvadrat Fabrics, integrating their Nordica and Load pieces to perfectly complement the design scheme.
