Despite Dubai’s rocky progress during the credit-crunch, restaurants seem thoroughly undeterred by the situation and are (naturally) reporting business as usual. If the new Karim Rashid designed restaurant Switch is anything to go by, Dubai’s discerning residents should get their reservations in quick.
With a futuristic interior in place, the restaurant is wrapped by a wavy wall which Rashid says was inspired by the letter S in the Arabic alphabet. The effect? A Manga comic feel illustrated by the almost hallucinogenic colour palette. Look up and you’ll notice a metallic strip with Arabic calligraphy which bisects the entire restaurant which serves ‘Meditteranean fusion’ cusion.
Head there fast before Dubai’s hipsters nab the reservations.
