OSL Lounge

Dubai, UAE · RN Designs

The main salon, with a long linear skylight overhead and a cascade of glass and brass spheres hanging its full length above a circular rug and a round ottoman.

The OSL Lounge in Dubai is built around a single move: a long linear skylight cut through the ceiling of the main salon, with a cascade of glass and brass spheres hung down its full length. Everything below is arranged to that axis.

The palette is deliberately narrow: travertine in wide slabs and fluted panels, warm timber battens, brass reveals and concealed cove lighting. The same few materials repeat at every scale, from the curved reeded-glass screens at the entrance to the lit niches cut into the corridor walls. That repetition is what holds a room this size together.

Seating is planned in groups rather than rows: a circular rug and a round boucle ottoman directly under the skylight, sofa groups set against the travertine walls, and one dark textured artwork wall to give the pale palette something to read against. The furniture plan sets it all out, with the skylight outlines, cove lighting and linear fittings coordinated into the same drawing.

Fluted timber, stone and curved reeded glass: the same small palette, detailed differently at each turn.

A seating group against the travertine. The sofa's figured bronze end and the brass-framed mirror carry the metal through the room.
The salon in daylight, with sheer curtains along a full-height window wall, fluted travertine panelling and palms visible outside.
Daylight through the sheer curtains. The fluted travertine takes the light without throwing glare back into the room.
A seating area in front of a large dark textured artwork wall, with a lit arched recess and a fluted floor lamp.
The artwork wall. A pale palette needs one dark surface to read against, and this is it.
A curved plaster wall with a lit niche holding a round mirror, beside a fluted stone screen wall.
A niche cut into the curved wall, with cove lighting above and a single object below. The detail repeats throughout the lounge.
A marble console with a blue glass vessel, set between backlit marble panels and dark fluted columns, with the salon visible beyond.
The threshold into the main salon, framed by backlit marble and dark fluted columns.
A corridor with timber-panelled walls, a circular ceiling recess holding a sphere chandelier, and two boucle stools below it.
A corridor treated as a room: a circular recess, a sphere chandelier and a pair of stools.
The main salon in strong sunlight, with the sphere chandelier overhead, travertine walls and grouped seating on a circular rug.
Late sun across the salon. The skylight does the work; the fittings only take over after dark.
An entrance wall of fluted timber with two curved reeded-glass screens flanking a stone panel and a brass door pull.
The entrance: curved reeded glass either side, planting behind it, and a single brass detail at the center.
A wide view of the salon, with an arched brass bench in the foreground, grouped sofas beyond and a marble-clad column.
The salon from the entrance side, with the arched brass bench marking the edge of the seating.
