With its signature bright interiors, EL&N has arrived in the DIFC district. The lighting scheme we designed for the Instagram-famous café illuminates the iconic pink decor and flower-adorned walls creating the perfect setting for social media snapshots.
Our lighting concept embraces illumination as a storytelling tool that accentuates the bright, bold interiors filled with rich finishes, intricate patterns, and varied textures. This approach elevates the visual appeal of the space, making sure every corner is ready for a close-up.
An illuminated striped bar with glowing, cool-toned EL&N lettering greets visitors. The circular centrepiece is framed by pink neon artwork, cementing the bright and bold tone of the café.
Sitting majestically above the bar, sweeping pink chains featuring integrated illumination depict flowers and hearts. Directional red spotlights and linear light follows the formation, emphasising the floral outline.
Glowing vertical luminaires create a fun, decorative feature within the chain installation while providing general illumination to the bar area.
Recessed strips of light in the ceiling frame the hanging chains, emanating like rays of sunshine and casting a glow that highlights the walkways below.
A mix of neon signage and illuminated globes adds a functional yet playful touch, aligning with the vibrant interiors that EL&N is known for.
