The Project

In 2015, Coya brought the vibrant spirit of Latin America to Dubai's dynamic culinary landscape. Nestled within the Four Seasons Resort, this global dining sensation has recently undergone a remarkable transformation, led by the expertise of Lighting Designer Isometrix, who seamlessly integrated LEDFlex lighting solutions to bring this vision to life.

Upon entering the restaurant, guests are immediately immersed in an environment that captures the essence of Peru. The design features earthy textures and tones, drawing inspiration from the ancient Incan city of Cusco and re-imagining them for a contemporary metropolitan setting. To complement the warmth of the interior, a lighting scheme with a colour temperature range of 2300K-2700K has been utilised.

The principal dining area at Coya is elegantly illuminated with LEDFlex's Ultimo Neon 16. This luminaire discreetly frames the shelving on the walls, providing a subtle, warm glow that enhances the overall ambiance.

The lounge at the Pisco Bar showcases a unique yet sophisticated design with various textured panels, both suspended from the ceiling and wall-mounted. These panels are inwardly illuminated using a combination of Ultimo Neon 16 and Optico Neon 23 3D, creating a dynamic atmosphere. The feature wall behind the bar is seamlessly integrated with Ultimo Neon 10, intricately illuminating the gaps between the textures. Ultimo Neon 10 can further be seen used as skirt lighting in the bar area.

The revitalisation of Coya serves as a shining example of how thoughtful design, coupled with cutting-edge lighting solutions, can transcend mere aesthetics to create a truly immersive and unforgettable dining experience. As guests step into this culinary sanctuary, they are transported on a journey that celebrates the fusion of tradition and innovation, leaving an indelible impression on all who partake in its delights.
