Dubai VIP Lounge

Set in the amazing view of Dubai’s landscapes, this apartment interior design is for a high caliber VIP. With extraordinaire use of black and golds, completely corresponding to the demands of what to expect from the characteristics opulent interior design aesthetic of Dubai. The client’s brief was to create a very dramatic statement in the main reception area, with a slightly masculine feel, but with softened areas so that it didn’t look too hard and austere. Celia used a lot of gold accessories, and textures to soften things up, and with the entrance into the main reception, created lightboxes to show off the client’s crystal.

In the centre of the living area, right above is a lavish and grandiose Empire Chandelier. A piece with a striking and eye-catching appearance, a masterpiece with an extravagant shape, transforming the living room into a stunning scenario and creating an exclusive atmosphere.
A bit more discrete, but still merging with the gold hues from all the living room and with a more down to earth exuberance are the little accessories and case goods, that complete the overall look, but are still very subtle compared to the exuberance of all the lighting, crystals and mirrors used in the project. Refined lines and with elegant geometric aesthetic, the side and center table along with the sofa provide a more sober look to a room filled with awing pieces. Every mixture of colors was thought to the millimeter, having the gold standing out, either from the lighting, the statue or simply in the crack of the sideboard, demanding the attention to it. Besides answering the client’s needs, Celia also put much of her own personality into this project.
Strength. Vivid. Emotional. The qualities are visible in this project but also in Celia herself. Noticeable in every little detailed of the composition on the project, more than her taste it’s able to get a taste of her own inspiring personality.
