The Project

Set within the iconic Atlantis The Palm in Dubai, Studio Frantzén exemplifies refined design, where lighting plays a pivotal role in shaping an immersive and sophisticated dining experience. Born from the collaboration between Michelin-starred Chef Björn Frantzén and award-winning interior designer Paul Bishop, the space seamlessly blends French-Asian gastronomy with contemporary Nordic influences, brought to life through sculptural forms, textured materials, and an architectural language that celebrates contrast and cohesion.

Studio N seamlessly integrated LEDFlex’s advanced lighting solutions to enhance this architectural vision, crafting an atmosphere that merges aesthetics with technical precision.

From the entrance, Eco Flex—our high-efficiency LED engine—delivers a warm, inviting glow, accentuating the deep red ceiling and rich wood finishes with soft, ambient illumination. This carefully calibrated transition guides guests into the main dining area, where lighting continues to define and elevate the spatial experience.

Throughout the venue, soft cove lighting casts a warm, atmospheric glow that sets the tone for an intimate and immersive dining experience, one that shifts gracefully with the rhythm of the space.Anchoring this layered lighting scheme is a striking chandelier at the heart of the restaurant — a modern interpretation of candlelit tradition that pays homage to the Nordic reverence for light. Its cascading brilliance is brought to life by Ultimo Neon 10. Integrated throughout the bar’s cove lighting, it adds depth and dimension to the surrounding architecture, effortlessly guiding the eye through the space.

To enrich this ambient glow, Optico Neon 23, our dual-bending optic neon delivers precise, low-glare illumination within the coves, subtly accentuating the venue’s architectural intricacies. Complementing this, our narrow 4mm wide Joinery Flex, is seamlessly embedded within shelving and display units, enhancing spatial depth while maintaining a cohesive lighting narrative.

LEDFlex’s innovative lighting solutions are integral to the venue’s storytelling, blending seamlessly with Studio N’s vision. The result is an atmosphere that effortlessly shifts from day to night, redefining fine dining with meticulously curated illumination.
