Illumination Inspired by Emirati Nature
Lasvit has created a bespoke lighting installation for Gerbou, a prestige restaurant in Dubai combining culinary innovation with rich cultural roots. Located prominently in the grand lobby, the installation immediately captivates visitors through the restaurant’s glass entrance, setting a subtle tone for the entire dining experience.
Inspired by the Iconic Ghaff Tree
The lighting installation builds upon our signature "Herbarium" design concept. For Gerbou, the iconic Ghaff tree—a beloved symbol of the UAE—served as the central inspiration. Real branches and leaves from the Ghaff tree were carefully imprinted into molten glass, preserving the authentic beauty and essence of Emirati nature.
Celebrating Emirati Heritage through Design
Some components of the installation feature luxurious golden accents, harmoniously complementing the restaurant’s warm interior palette of wood and beige. Lasvit’s Head Designer Mária Čulenová closely collaborated with acclaimed interior designer Kristina Zanic, ensuring the piece flawlessly integrates into the carefully designed interior.
Commitment to Craftsmanship
Gerbou is the result of a collaboration between Tashkeel and Atelier House Hospitality. This partnership has created a sophisticated space celebrating Emirati heritage through contemporary culinary art. Remarkably, Lasvit completed the entire bespoke lighting project—from design through production to delivery—in just one month, highlighting its commitment to craftsmanship, precision, and flexibility.
