The ceiling was inspired by the moon and its reflection on the sea. To incorporate this concept, we used moon-textured globe lights and rippled steel on the ceiling that resembles the sea surface. We wanted to evoke the beauty of the moon and its reflection in the sea, so we carefully crafted a ceiling design inspired by this lunar concept.
The combination of these aesthetically pleasing elements creates a breathtaking atmosphere that is both mesmerizing and calming. While designing the restaurant floor, we chose to use brass and black-and-white terrazzo to symbolize the lunar day and lunar night, respectively, giving a unique representation of time in an otherwise timeless space.
We selected a combination of brass and wood for the restaurant furniture, as these materials typically signify a classic and timeless look. We then opted for blue and yellow for the colors, as a reference to the sea and moonlight.
Visiting this restaurant is like traveling back to the golden era of the 1920s, reminiscent of “The Great Gatsby.” With its unique and unforgettable atmosphere, you can immerse yourself in a sea of nostalgia and culture while being surrounded by the majestic beauty of Khobar.
