CLI’s Transformative Work at Ocean 48

Ocean 48 presented a unique opportunity to craft a lighting scheme that enhances the restaurant’s luxurious, welcoming ambiance while ensuring functionality for diners and staff alike. Our teams at CLI Design and Commercial Lighting Industries worked closely with the client to deliver a lighting design that complements Ocean 48’s upscale brand and architectural style.

• Sophisticated Ambiance: Warm, dimmable fixtures create a cozy yet elegant dining environment, making every meal feel special.

By combining ambiance, functionality, and efficiency, CLI transformed Ocean 48 into a dining destination where guests feel pampered from the moment they step in.

The Role of Lighting in Restaurant Design

Lighting plays a critical role in crafting a memorable dining experience. Key elements include:

1. Setting the Mood: Warm lighting makes guests feel at ease, while dynamic controls allow for adaptability across different times of the day or special events.
2. Highlighting Design: Accent lighting draws attention to unique features like wine displays, textured walls, and art pieces, enriching the dining experience.
3. Supporting Functionality: Proper task lighting in key areas like bars and kitchens ensures both staff efficiency and guest comfort.
