XXII CARAT IS AN EXCLUSIVE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF 22 HIGH-END VILLAS ON THE PALM JUMEIRAH, DUBAI. RUSSIAN DESIGN STUDIO FORUM GROUP DEVELOPED THE COMMUNITY. PRECIOSA WAS PLEASED TO PROVIDE TWO LIGHTS FOR ONE OF THE VILLAS.

Forum Group first discovered Preciosa Lighting during Milan Design Week 2018. After consulting with the design team, we proposed a lighting piece from our Collections portfolio – King. King is a modern take on our historical chandelier, Maria Theresa. King is a luxuriously vibrant piece by Czech designer Rony Plesl. Because of the spacious size of the room, we created an extra-large version of the chandelier using opal white glass, silver glass spheres and satin nickel. It now holds pride of place in the villa’s living room.

Forum Group also appreciated one of our Signature Designs, Falling Flowers. The base of this design is glass plates. The production of these plates is a speciality of the Preciosa glassworks. Skilled glass masters first blow one colour on their pipe, then a second colour of glass is added, then a third. For the villa, we created plates from frosted, crystal, and light amber glass.

This is the second Forum Group project Preciosa has worked on, and plans are in the works for another luxury villa in Dubai.
