cocteau is an upscale restaurant with a, particularly lavish interior. the
lighting was designed so it compliments Gregory Gatserelia Design's concept; integrating
the correct color temperature along with the correct power output drew upon
the architecture of the design. to add flow to the differently heightened wooden
cladding, LED strips were integrated within to give warmth to the vast
interior, creating an intended sense of synergy.
jean Cocteau's works are distributed onto a bookshelf inspired luminaire
which is lit using invisible LED strips. this falls perfectly within the modernist
interior of the restaurant.
to provide an ambient light, ceiling mounted rectangular boxes are lit with
fluorescent lamps. however, to accentuate the lighting of the dining area,
directional spotlights are installed.
the lighting scheme is designed and installed so as to provide each area with
the intensity of lighting needed, intentionally allowing some spaces to remain
in relative darkness.
