Seductive and charming, Perlage is an after-hours destination on Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi, UAE, with cheeky cocktails like “How ‘Bout Them Apples” and “Tickle Fancy.” The bar takes its name from the French term for the bubbles in champagne, while the interior design by Verhaal and lighting design by Studio Lumen take cues from the fizzy theme. The all-LED system invites guests on a visual journey through a warmly lit hallway to a softly illuminated velveteen seating area that evokes a vintage allure while providing glare-free comfort and various photo opportunities. Partner at Studio Lumen Siddharth Mathur said, “The lighting at Perlage is more than functional—it’s a storytelling element that brings depth and character to each corner of the space. We wanted to create an experience that feels both intimate and alive, where lighting interacts playfully with architectural details and decorative elements to create a visually memorable journey.”
