Lucent Lighting has announced its role in the newly launched Il Gattopardo, a stylish restaurant now open on Level 51 of ICD Brookfield in Dubai. Blending classic Italian charm with a modern lifestyle, Il Gattopardo offers a luxurious yet welcoming atmosphere. The lighting, carefully designed and installed, plays a central role in shaping this unique dining experience.

Elegant Lighting That Elevates Atmosphere

The lighting design, developed by Isometrix Lighting Design, is a tribute to refined style. Warm, ambient light flows throughout the space, casting a golden glow that enhances the mid-century Italian-inspired interiors. Fabrics, finishes, and subtle design details are gently highlighted to create a perfect balance between intimacy and grandeur. As a result, every corner of Il Gattopardo feels carefully crafted and visually harmonious.

High-Performance Luminaires for a Seamless Look

To support this vision, Lucent Lighting supplied a selection of high-quality luminaires. The Edge90 Trimless Downlights provide smooth, glare-free lighting that blends seamlessly into the ceiling. This helps maintain a clean, modern look while ensuring a warm and even light. In addition, TubeLED MINI & MICRO Track Spotlights were chosen to emphasize key features of the design. These lights enhance the textures and patterns found throughout the space, especially in the lounge and bar.

In addition, TubeLED MINI & MICRO Track Spotlights were used to draw attention to key design features. These spotlights highlight textures, materials, and architectural details, especially in the vibrant lounge and bar areas.

In the lounge, the lighting takes on a more energetic tone. 3CT Mains Voltage Surface Track Spotlights and subtle accent lights are used together to spotlight standout features like the tapestry curtain and the eye-catching DJ booth. This combination adds vibrancy to the space and supports the dynamic mood that defines the bar and lounge.

Lighting as a Design Element

Lucent Lighting’s creative solutions not only improve visual appeal—they shape the entire atmosphere. Integrated lighting becomes part of the design story, transforming Il Gattopardo into a destination that exudes glamour and sophistication.
