This is an exclusive look at Rabieh 622, an apartment with complete lighting provided by Lumiere Group, with lighting design by Hilights and interior design by Joe Farah. Located in Rabieh, Lebanon, this standout space boasts a stylish interior that required a personalized approach to its lighting, something simple yet sophisticated. In order to reflect the elegant look of the apartment, subtle luminaire designs were used across all rooms, each featuring high-end materials and tones. The lighting also had to be uniform, creating smooth transitions from space to space and a consistent atmosphere for the entire house.
It all starts at the entrance, where the use of accent light, a DCA Incasso narrow beam from Viabizzuno, emphasizes the large painting and the wall unit, enforcing a hierarchy of elements. The general lighting evokes comfort with a clear, welcoming glow using DCA Incasso diffused glass. The entrance stands out with its vivid contrast of white, black and red, which transitions to a more sober and relaxing interior.
Moving to the reception and dining area, the space opens up into generous yet discreet lighting that permeates the décor, all while using illuminated clusters to define specific architectural elements and functions. Accent lighting is again used to highlight artwork through hidden projectors with precision illumination, namely Viabizzuno’s Eco DN55 with the 094 system. The same lighting is used to frame specific task areas and define their functions within the general space, which is itself defined by low intensity linear LED profiles along the outlines.
For the dining room, a unique piece has been designed by Maurice Asso. “The egg” is one of a three-series collection which describes a sliced egg floating on top of the dining table to serve as a cluster of light, combining both functional and decorative illumination , creating a uniquely lit and captivating visual zone. Its original design features an interplay of light and air, white and emptiness that strikes a perfect balance and brings the space to life. Complex yet simple dimming system that provides different scenes to create balance between ambient and accent lighting in order to serve the usage of the interesting living area.
The bedroom shares the reception area’s soothing tones, with colorful artwork providing the necessary contrast. The accent lighting highlights the art as discreetly as the general lighting suffuses the space with a soft, clear light, all of it seamlessly integrated into the architecture. Rabieh 622 is a picture perfect illustration of modern lighting design at its best, crafted to become an intrinsic part of the interior as unobtrusively, efficiently and organically as possible. Blending harmoniously with the interiors of each area, it serves as the keystone that brings the space together.
