Key Design Features

1. Bespoke Decorative Metal Screen
   An iconic design feature, the custom metal screen introduces a sense of spatial rhythm and separation without compromising openness. Handcrafted with intricate patterns, it serves both as a focal point and a functional element, echoing traditional jali work in a contemporary context.
2. Customized Wooden Engraved Decorative Lights
   These unique light fixtures combine traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering. Each piece is engraved with fine patterns, casting subtle shadows and a warm glow that enhances the ambiance. Crafted from natural wood, they contribute to the organic texture palette of the interior.
3. Lights with Metal Fins & Engraved Wooden Frames
   A distinctive lighting solution, these fixtures are designed to create a dramatic interplay of light and form. The use of metal fins and engraved wooden frames brings depth and character, enhancing the vertical volume of the space.
4. 9-Metre-High Hanging Metal Strings
   Installed in the central dining area, the vertical installation of metal strings adds elegance and scale. Suspended from a ceiling height of 9 meters, the strings were engineered with precision and carefully aligned to create a captivating sculptural feature.
5. Wall Panels with Marble, Mirrors, and Bespoke Metals
   Throughout the restaurant, walls are adorned with a luxurious combination of materials—polished marble, reflective mirrors, and custom-fabricated metals. This composition creates rich textures and visual layers while guiding the flow of movement through the space.
6. Joinery with Marble Cladding, Metal, and Fluted Glass
   Joinery elements such as service counters, partitions, and cabinetry are not only functional but integral to the design narrative. Finished with a mix of fluted glass, brushed metal, and marble, these elements reinforce the restaurant’s premium positioning and add structural elegance.

Execution & Challenges

As with any high-profile project within a commercial landmark like Dubai Mall, executing Rang required stringent planning, seamless coordination, and agile problem-solving. Key challenges and how they were addressed include:

1. Complex Material Terminations
   With multiple high-end materials meeting at various junctions, ensuring smooth and clean terminations was essential. Aujan Interiors employed precision detailing, mock-ups, and meticulous supervision to achieve flawless transitions.
2. Custom-Made Patterned Tiles
   The integration of custom-printed tiles required absolute consistency in alignment and finish. Multiple quality control rounds were undertaken to ensure design integrity and visual impact.
3. High-Ceiling Installation
   The 9-meter-high ceiling posed logistical challenges, particularly for the installation of the hanging metal strings. Specialized scaffolding, safety protocols, and precision alignment were implemented to ensure safe and accurate execution.
4. Textured Wall Finishes with CNC MDF Cladding
   Achieving uniform texture and seamless integration of CNC-cut MDF panels required exacting craftsmanship. Each cladding piece was custom-designed to complement the overall scheme, tested through on-site prototypes before final installation.
