艾兰·杜卡斯（Alain Ducass）的迪拜新餐厅位于美拉棕榈岛（Palm Jumeirah）凯宾斯基翡翠宫的主穹顶厅，该餐厅的设计融合了法贝热彩蛋（Fabergé Egg）的意象。

直径10米，高20米的超大蛋形空间构成了餐厅的主要特征，该空间连通餐厅的上下三层。巨蛋的下部悬浮在主餐厅及VIP区的中庭（建筑6层及穹顶以下区域），其外形与材料分别服务于结构及感官需求。蛋象征着生命的奥义，它的顶层是餐厅的极特殊区域，只有少数拥有特权的人才能通过私人电梯进入。

设计师减少了餐厅材料的色彩种类，并尽量减少装饰：“我们更想将项目看做是设计类似博物馆的空间，而不是传统意义上的餐厅。餐厅中真正的艺术品是杜卡斯先生提供的餐食，所以室内设计应该成为食品的背景。此外，空间的照明设计也至关重要。餐厅内灯光柔和，使客人感到舒适。灯光大多集中在餐具上而非客人本身，且可根据家具的不同摆设灵活变更其位置。”

The new restaurant of Alain Ducasse in Dubai fits a Fabergé Egg inside the main dome of Kempinski Emerald Palace in Palm Jumeirah. Luxury, sophistication and surprise are the concepts behind Clavel Arquitectos design for Mr. Ducasse avant garde cuisine.

Oversized Fabergé inspired egg (20 meters height per 10 meters diameter) is the main feature of the restaurant and crosses and relates its three levels. Lower part is floating in the central void of the main and VIP restaurant (6th and lower roof level) and its outer shape and material responds to structural and sensorial matters respectively. Egg represents the mystery of life and its real secret is inside, in the top level, where only a privileged few can ascend in a private elevator.

Designers used a reduced palette of materials and minimum decoration: “Our approach to the project was more about designing a museum rather than a classic restaurant concept. Interior design works as a neutral background where the true art pieces and protagonists shall be Mr. Ducasse dishes. That is why lighting was also an important matter. Light is designed to be soft, to make guests feel comfortable. Targeted architectural lighting will concentrate in dishes, not in guests and is a flexible system where position of lights can be changed according to different furniture arrangements.”

该餐厅就像是坠入了银河，存在于物质与非物质之间，辗转与梦境与现实之间。金色的巨蛋悬浮于空间中央成为主角，为四周注入活力。500平米的餐厅统一覆盖着由透明亚克力管装饰的屋顶，屋顶仿佛可以流动，是伊斯兰莫卡拉比（mocarabes）的现代化表达。餐厅的墙壁隐藏于有序排布的镜面材质中，反射着餐厅内的活动。大面积铺设的爵士白大理石及紫色地毯呈现出高端的品质。餐厅的部分区域有地形上的分隔，引导来此等位的客人点上一杯咖啡，或享受一杯咖啡师特调的招牌鸡尾酒。

This is like a galactic scene, a space between materiality and immateriality; between dream and reality. Oversized golden egg is floating in the middle of the space and is the feature that presides and bring its energy to this area. Conceived as a contemporary interpretation of islamic mocarabes, a flowing ceiling of transparent acrylic tubes covers this 500 sqm dining room in a single gesture. Walls disappear using a rhythm of mirror layers that celebrates the movement of life.

White volakas marble and purple carpets has been disposed in order to achieve a flowing dialogue of continuities and qualities. Some areas play the role as a kind of topographical emergions that invite guests to explore and have a drink while waiting for a table or to sit and enjoy one of the signatura cocktails offered by the barista.

MIX酒吧及休息室的设计为客人提供了不一样的用餐体验。酒吧氛围轻松，客人们可以在这里享用令人放松的饮料和精美的小吃，同时欣赏餐厅外壮丽的景色。空间内用各种材料打造出人造景观，桌子仿佛岛屿，天花板映射着天空，环绕的金属窗帘象征着具有现代感的沙漠帐篷，而连续的陶瓷马赛克地板则为空间增添了一丝神秘。酒吧中央雕花的灯具为空间注入温暖的白光。

In terms of design Mix bar and lounge is a different dining experience. This is a less formal restaurant where guests can have a relaxed drink or fine tapas while enjoying stunning views from outside. The overall space is conceived as an artificial landscape of materials relations where tables are conceived as islands, ceiling as a black reflecting sky, and metallic curtains envolving the whole area are a contemporary interpretation of desert tents running over a continuous ceramic mosaic floor adding a touch of mystery to this atmosphere. This environment is illuminated by a warm white light coming from a tattooed moon in the center.

MIX私享餐厅与下层的MIX餐厅空间上相连，却是一个特殊区域，只摆有10张桌子。该区域配有私享酒吧，来到这里的客人可以欣赏到窗外令人惊叹的美景，同时享有进入巨蛋空间中奢华洗漱间的权利。该区域是一个约190平方米的圆柱形空间，位于建筑的主穹顶之下，其特征是中心处悬挂的巨蛋金色弧形结构。闪亮的白色天花板呈放射状排列，与金色的幕帘相配合，为客人带来私密性。

Spatially connected with Mix restaurant in the lower level, this is a privileged area, with only 10 tables. Again, guests can contemplate amazing views, enjoy a private bar or exclusive access to the stunning restrooms in the interior of the egg. Architecturally is a cylindrical space of 190 sqm just below the main dome of the building. Main feature is the convex curved golden shape of the egg hung from the center. A shiny white stretched ceiling millimetrically designed is in intimate relation with a surrounding golden curtain that brings privacy to the guests.

这是一个专属的预留空间，高11米，提供特别服务，包括露台及可容纳12位客人的中央餐桌。巨蛋内部充满了令人惊喜的细节，使其甚至超越了纯粹美学的界限。“超越自身”是这个空间的首要设计原则，只有追寻非凡经历的人才能窥其根本。当空间所能提供的惊喜超越思考的范畴，便开始探究生命的力量，一切奢华的珠宝也都变成了玩具。

除了餐厅，客人还可以在露台上享受室外空间，透过环绕的棕榈树丛看到迪拜壮阔的天际线。露台空间可根据天气或主人的需求灵活调整。

This is an exclusive and reserved space with dedicated services, terrace and a central table for 12 guests. A single space of 11 meters height. Elements of surprise are visible once inside the egg, crossing the border of purely aesthetic point of view. “It is not what it seems” would be the first rule. Only seen by those who are looking for an unforgettable experience. When the interior surprise provides an experience that goes further from the contemplative point of view, energy of life appears and jewel becomes a toy.

Beyond the dining hall, the terraces allow to sit in an exterior space surrounded by amazing views of Dubai skyline from the Palm. The terrace is a flexible space that can be adapted according to the weather and uses required by the hosts.

空间内的家具大部分采用了独家定制，通过精心且有效的布置为来宾及服务人员安排出流畅的室内游线。

Furniture is arranged thoughtfully and efficiently to create a flowing circulation for the guests and the waiters and most of these pieces have been designed exclusively for this restaurant.
