  • BACKGROUND
    The Museum of Islamic Art, Doha, Qatar, invited the world-renowned French chef, Alain Ducasse, to bring a unique restaurant experience to Qatar. Ducasse created an exiting yet sophisticated menu of French haute cuisine enthused with local Arabic flavours. This heralded a new standard for fine dining in Qatar.
    CHALLENGE
    There were three very prominent stake holders involved; Her Royal Highness Shiekha Mayassa, chef extraordinaire Alain Ducasse and the design guru Phillippe Starck. The brand had to encompass all of their visions and aspirations. A very daunting prospect!
    SOLUTION
    By visually creating a sense of height and drama, the brand reflects a dynamic fusion of fine cuisine and Arab culture, and sheds light on the timeless relationship of food and art.
