Lighting design in Dubai — architectural and decorative
Architectural and decorative, in-house.
Lighting is designed alongside the room, not specified at the end. Layered light supports the day rather than dramatising it.
This is one of twelve services held in-house by Montaigne Design. We do not subcontract the parts of the room that matter most — drawings are produced by our designers, joinery by our workshop, lighting by our team, and procurement is held by us. The contractor builds. We design and supervise.
Engagements typically begin with a private conversation in Dubai or Shanghai. Our minimum project fee is AED 400,000, and we respond within one business day.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Do you design lighting in-house?
We do. Lighting is designed alongside the room, not specified at the end. Architectural and decorative layers are composed together.
Which lighting systems do you work with?
Lutron, Crestron, KNX — programmed scenes that the household actually uses. Every luminaire is individually dimmed and tuned to a specific colour temperature.
Do you do lighting for hospitality projects?
Lighting is integral to our hospitality practice. Public spaces, guest rooms, F&B, and spa suites are each lit to their own brief.
