Shanghai Me London, the brand’s latest opening after Dubai and Doha, crowns the London Hilton on Park Lane with a rooftop dining experience shaped as much by design as cuisine. At its heart is a suite of bespoke lighting by British artisan specialists Northern Lights, crafted in close collaboration with interior designers First Within to capture the glamour of 1930’s Shanghai.
Statement lighting as storytelling
Northern Lights worked closely with First Within to translate the studios concept into lighting that evokes the elegance and sophistication of 1930s Shanghai – combining sculptural form, cultural richness, and heightened tactility. Guests are welcomed by a dramatic ceiling installation featuring a series of pendants in two cohesive styles, each balancing form and materiality.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
