Mausam at The Dubai Mall brings sensory dining to life in a theatrical setting inspired by the architecture and culinary traditions of India. Unashamedly rich in materiality and visual storytelling, the restaurant draws inspiration from the sweeping arches and sandstone tones of Indian architecture.
Designed by 4SPACE, the vibrant aesthetic is anchored by a feature ceiling that pays homage to the Mughal arches and earthy hues of India’s Red Fort. The full impact of the lighting design is revealed once guests are immersed in the space. Skilfully concealed lines of light enhance the sculptured lines of the architecture and infuse the vibrant setting with warmth and tactility.
To enhance the sculptural architecture, soft lines of light were concealed within the metal rings of the ceiling to add depth and definition to the multilayered focal point. The effect is transformational, creating a harmonious blend of light, materials and surfaces.
Throughout the restaurant, different tones of light emulate the vibrancy of Indian spices. At restaurant level, a colour temperature of 2700K envelops diners in warmth and comfort. The composition of light shifts to a colour temperature of 3000K higher up to add visual richness to the space.
Within the curved dining booths that anchor the showpiece ceiling, concealed lines of light bounce light onto the decorative latticework to produce an atmospheric play of light and shadow.
An ornate walkway framed with a Mughal-inspired arch has been embellished with minimalist lines of the light in the floor and arches, elevating a simple circulation route into a pathway of light.
