The integration of flexible LED luminaires with high metrics was key to creating the stunning interior of the latest Sexy Fish restaurant
At the heart of the dazzling new lighting scheme at Sexy Fish's Mayfair location and the brand-new Manchester restaurant is the creative vision of the lighting designers at 18Fifty.
Their understated integration has transformed the dining experience, seamlessly integrating cutting-edge linear lighting solutions that elevate both ambiance and aesthetics.
As guests approach, they are welcomed by the warm glow of LED Flex Ultimo Neon 10, which subtly lights up the exterior canopy.
Inside, the bar area becomes a mesmerising focal point, where ethereal fish sculptures are dramatically highlighted. This careful attention to detail showcases the intricate artistry of the sculptures, creating a captivating visual spectacle.
The bar itself is a statement of design, featuring Optico Neon 23 3D, which employs advanced dual-bending optic technology to provide uniform lighting across its curves.
Complemented by the vibrant task lighting of Ultimo Neon 16 High CRI, the bar accentuates the rich colours of the cusine, ensuring every dish is a visual delight.
Intimate private dining booths are thoughtfully illuminated with the soft, discreet lighting of Nano Flex, seamlessly integrated into double-layered coves. Its ultra-slim 4mm PCB width maintains a sleek, unobtrusive aesthetic. The lighting designers also extended their expertise to the sushi counter, where the high-CRI Lumen Line with an impressive R9 rating of 99+ enhances the cove lighting, making the freshest ingredients pop with vibrant hues.
In the kitchen, high-quality task lighting helps ensure precision for the culinary team.
Even the bathrooms reflect this luxurious approach, as the mermaid mural is illuminated by ultra-slim Nano Flex lining the mirrors, adding an artistic touch to the space.
Throughout the day and night, the advanced DMX and Dali technology allows for precise control over the lighting, maintaining the perfect ambiance for every occasion.
With its lighting transformation and statement architectural elements, Sexy Fish stands as an example of the UK's vibrant hospitality scene. Building on this success, the brand is poised to expand internationally, with a new restaurant opening in Dubai later this year, ready to share the experience with a global audience.
