MACAU IS KNOWN FOR ITS GLITZ AND GLAMOUR, HIGH-STAKES GAMING AND NON-STOP ENTERTAINMENT. MGM COTAI IS THE SECOND MGM PROPERTY IN MACAU; A HIGH-TECH RESORT SEAMLESSLY WEAVING ART AND ENTERTAINMENT INTO A DESTINATION EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER.

Opened in February 2018, Preciosa Lighting worked with Friedmutter Group Architecture & Design Studios on a number of lighting installations in the casino areas. In Mass Gaming, a wave of 14 chandeliers guides visitors along the corridor while in High Limit, 16 chandeliers formed from clear and frosted round glass spheres and crystal spirals shine down on the players. In Supreme Gaming, the entire space is aglow with lighting from Preciosa, including chandeliers from hand blown glass. Wall sconces and table lamps add an additional layer of atmosphere and design.

While Preciosa and Friedmutter Group have worked together before on projects in the US, this was their first Asian cooperation. 

For such a large project as the MGM Cotai, a number of designers collaborated on all aspects of the resort’s final look. For example, in the Emerald Lobby, Preciosa’s amazing installation dazzles guests with a glass and metal fixture which cascades down to a bespoke candle holder underneath. This singular piece is actually made from magnifying glass and magnifying mirrors and was designed in conjunction with Burega Farnell. In the Spectacle Lobby, Rockwell Group and Preciosa cooperated on the lovely display of amber and blue glass leaves.

The MGM Cotai offers a stunning space for guests to relax. AB Concept and Preciosa worked together in their gym and spa to create a fascinating ceiling concept that combines lighting and design, using hundreds of clear, gold, amber, and dark red glass leafs.

At the MGM Cotai, diners in Chún, a restaurant specializing in Cantonese cuisine, can enjoy special lights that consist of 100 pieces of one pendant design, covering the ceiling with sparkle, designed in conjunction with Jeffrey Beers International.
