Noir at Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates is a sultry, Art Deco-inspired lounge bar that channels 1920s New York glamour with cinematic flair and moody sophistication.
Originally known as The 1897, Noir underwent a dramatic transformation led by Bassos Design in collaboration with Aukett Fitzroy Robinson International. The design brief aimed to create a luxurious nightlife venue that redefined lounge aesthetics in Dubai. The result is a space rich in dark woods, plush furnishings, and geometric lighting, evoking the opulence of the Jazz Age while maintaining a contemporary edge.
Key artistic features include:
– Classic film projections on the outdoor terrace wall, adding a nostalgic, cinematic ambiance.
– Art Deco light fixtures that cast a warm, intimate glow across the lounge.
– A central bar designed as the focal point, with spatial planning that encourages intimate gatherings and fluid movement throughout the venue.
