KIRA Restaurant and LITT Bar Club, positioned in the newly opened Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, Dubai explore light through serenity and energy. KIRA’s warm, layered lighting enhances Mediterranean and Japanese elegance, while LITT’s dynamic, responsive scheme transforms the space with rhythm and mood. Together they create immersive, memorable interiors that evolve from day to night.

Lighting elevates the spatial identity of both venues. At KIRA, refined layers and golden accents evoke calm sophistication. At LITT, bold contrasts and kinetic lighting sculpt a vibrant, high-energy atmosphere. Together, they create engaging environments that draw the guests into the venues, while being warm and welcoming to enjoy a long stay. Very warm colour temperatures of light are used and softened with control and concealment to bring the most out of the interior materiality.

The lighting concept responds directly to its iconic setting within the Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab. KIRA’s warm elegance complements the Mediterranean-Japanese interiors, while LITT’s energy reflects Dubai’s nightlife. Transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces reinforce the venue’s connection to its coastal surroundings and luxury context. The venues and the hotel, are of the moment with influencers wanting to be seen in and around the property. The lighting needed to feel very contemporary.
