al sultan brahim is a lebanese seafood restaurant with a widely pleasant,
profoundly timeless and highly comfortable design - a concept by Gregory Gatserelia Design.
the lighting is a mix between suspended lighting and recessed spotlights and LEDs,
integrated into the curved back wall and ceiling. the main lighting attraction is the
chandeliers, custom made with overlapping brass plates with a bronze
finish with integrated led lighting. suspended within the space, they break
up the height of the room and increase the sense of intimacy. neutral white
led strips concealed on the lower part of the chandeliers were chosen to
complement daylight. the shadow effect these suspensions have on the
ceiling and walls is both dramatic and atmospheric.
the exterior visual barrier of fish flying in space, besides being visually
appealing, works through an effect of light on the polished stainless steel
(sun during the day and spotlights during the night) as a visual barrier
between the restaurant and the surrounding spaces.
