NAC (North Audley Cantine)
Services | Restaurant Interior Design
DesignLSM were appointed to assist in the global expansion of NAC, a stylish French restaurant based in London’s Mayfair. Launching their first site in Riyadh (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) and Doha (Qatar), they have one more opening to follow in Dubai, due to launch soon.
Spearheading the design concepts for the trio of openings, it was important to ensure the brand’s modern eclectic style - which is inspired by European travel - was effectively translated for the Middle Eastern audience.
NAC Riyadh
An elegant touch
NAC Riyadh was the first Middle East opening for the brand in Saudi Arabia’s capital. Evolving the aesthetic to convey the core brand DNA as well as aligning with the locality, the interior concept for this site reflects an elegant yet casual demur, blending lush greenery with curved forms, soft tones, terracotta hues and warmed textured plaster, delivering an effortlessly luxurious dining destination.
NAC Doha
A stylish setting
Much like its sister restaurant in Saudi Arabia, NAC Doha’s interior aesthetic embraces a timeless, engaging and inviting concept, with the curation of intimate and inclusive spaces, boasting an all-day dining ambience that encapsulates the social and stylish environment associated with Parisian bistros.
Whether you’re enjoying a coffee sat outside soaking in the sun, sipping a sweet mocktail at the decadent glowing bar, or devouring a table full of mouth-watering sharing plates with friends, NAC Doha presents an effortlessly glamorous European-inspired dining experience to be enjoyed by all.
Coming soon
NAC Dubai, situated within the new Huna Residence development in the heart of Jumeirah, is the largest Middle Eastern of the openings launching later this year.
Appealing to a young audience with a desire to socialise and connect, the space will transition seamlessly from a vibrant and relaxed daytime spot to a chic, romantic evening destination. With a strong focus on layering and textural finishes to create an authentic bistro feel, the interior design for NAC Dubai will master a refined aesthetic with a focus on quality crafted details such as a tonal terrazzo floor and contrasting warm timber joinery details to create a cosy, yet elegant social destination.
