Zeste Café, Dubai

Designed by LW Design, Zeste Café, Dubai is located at Holiday Inn. The fitout was executed by Depa Group and the project management was by ALEC.

This place offered the designers an opportunity to create a playful selection by selecting varied pieces of furniture and fixtures, making each experience a different one. And the variety spans across the dining as well as the lounge seating and is seen dotted around the space.

A mix of eclectic lighting and accessories add another layer of casual yet relatable design. Lifestyle collectables adorn the full height walls to create a more intimate and inviting atmosphere. As full-height gypsum partitions were not an option, a combination of rope screens and Semi-Open Timber screens, filled with eclectic accessories and plants, were used as dividers between spaces and to create privacy between the different users.

Additional planter boxes with pendants create yet another visual separation, while still giving you a glimpse of the activity on the other side. The neutral finishes of the surroundings was the inspiration for the entire design palette. The designers chose natural materials, like wood inlaid in concrete on the floor and rope screens as the base undertones of the space adding to the relaxed and casual vibe.

A splash of colour was added to the feature timber finish along the bar front and in the playful pieces of furniture and fixtures.
