Brief
VISO was approached to design-engineer and fabricate a bespoke lighting package for this new restaurant. Miami is getting a fresh, new sophisticated restaurant my master restaurateur Charles Khabouth. Amal, meaning hope, celebrates Khabouth's Lebanese roots. In fact, the inspiration for this space comes from Lebanon's sandy shores and contemporary Mediterranean architecture. VISO, in collaboration with Studio Munge, design-engineered light fixtures that features soft palettes and natural elements to complete the overall aesthetic.
