Located within the luxurious Fairmont Hotel at Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, Caro Steakhouse stands for sophistication, fine dining, and community. Designed for those who appreciate the finer things in life, Caro Steakhouse offers an exclusive dining experience characterized by contemporary décor, high ceilings, indoor trees, and a harmonious blend of neutral tones.

At Caro Steakhouse, our team at Light & Lives was tasked with creating an ambiance that perfectly complemented the restaurant’s upscale atmosphere. We carefully curated a lighting design that not only enhanced the space’s aesthetic appeal but also accentuated its unique features.

To contrast the high-ceilinged, contemporary ambiance, we employed a mix of lighting elements from renowned brands like Gubi and Tom Dixon. This combination allowed us to achieve the perfect balance of sophistication and warmth throughout the restaurant.

One of the highlights of our work at Caro Steakhouse was the creation of bespoke lighting fixtures. For instance, we designed wall lights that adorned the booth areas, providing intimate and elegant illumination. In the meat display area, we used Backlit LED panels to showcase the exquisite cuts of meat, beautifully illuminating the Onyx marble.

To showcase Caro’s impressive selection of wines, we strategically incorporated strip lights into the wine shelves. This not only highlighted the wines but also ensured privacy for the VIP rooms located behind the shelves.

The statement bar and countertop were transformed into focal points with the artful use of strip lights and table lamps from Tom Dixon. These elements added a touch of glamour while maintaining the restaurant’s inviting ambiance.

Caro Steakhouse exudes a distinctive 1980s butcher shop ambience, which we enhanced through creative lighting choices. A glass meat sculpture suspended from the ceiling served as a striking centerpiece, illuminated by spotlights to emphasize its intricate details. In the private dining area, a similar meat sculpture was illuminated to create a captivating focal point.

To add to the immersive dining experience, we suspended wall lights from hooks reminiscent of meat hooks. These lights not only illuminated the booth seating areas but also accentuated the artwork on the walls, creating a cohesive and visually captivating environment.

At Caro Steakhouse, our lighting design played a pivotal role in creating an unforgettable dining experience. From bespoke fixtures to strategic lighting choices, every element was carefully selected to enhance the restaurant’s ambiance and elevate the overall dining experience. Caro Steakhouse stands as a testament to our commitment to detail and originality in lighting design.
