Summary

Ling Ling Dubai, part of the Hakkasan Group, goes beyond being a mere dining experience. Our mission was to craft a signature destination for dining, drinking, and dancing. This venue boasts multiple areas, including a nightclub, where each space needed to be carefully assessed as part of the customer’s journey.

Bar Lounge small

Our creative journey encompassed multiple projects in one, with thoughtful links between spaces. For example, the lift lobby graphics wall changes colour to match the RGBW lighting in the lift, which, in turn, matches the reception area’s ceiling. Our approach aligned with the desire for guests to see, be seen and share their experiences on social media.

 

Result

At Ling Ling Dubai, the journey is paramount. The Ground Floor lift lobby stands in stark contrast to the hotel lobby, becoming a "selfie hotspot" with colourful backlit signage. The "Gallery" transforms into a cage of light with a mirrored stretched ceiling, and the preserved tree is evenly lit without causing glare to diners. Subtle links between spaces tie the entire concept together, creating a captivating experience.
