Located in the heart of Mirdif, a neighborhood, known for its grounded atmosphere and local appeal IDST designed the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/restaurant-interiors\/\">restaurant<\/a><\/strong> as a warm, textural landscape that unfolds gradually for its guests. Its interiors shift from the sun-drenched softness of its natural light to the sculptural rhythm articulated by its custom furnishings and material finishes. The result is a meticulous study in sensory curation, creating in a multisensory experience for serene daytime gatherings as well as vibrant evening settings.<\/p>\n<p>Wave, designed by IDST, is located in Dubai\u2019s Mirdif neighborhood<\/p>\n<p>all images courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/nateleecocks.com\/\">Natelee Cocks<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">playful contrast between mediterranean and memphis<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The architectural and design vision for Wave was brought to life by IDST. Renowned for its thoughtful design, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.idst.ae\/\">studio<\/a><\/strong> emphasizes materiality, character, and intention in every space it creates. Completed in 2025, their work for Wave, from the full design and supervision to sourcing and styling, introduces layers of refinement and creativity. At its core, the concept fuses Mediterranean ease with the expressive geometry of Memphis design. This unexpected play unfolds through deliberate contrasts \u2014 soft versus bold, curved versus linear, and earthy versus graphic \u2014 culminating in a striking new identity for all-day dining.<\/p>\n<p>the restaurant\u2019s aesthetic mixes the Mediterranean and the expressive geometry of Memphis design<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">materiality and pattern layer IDST\u2019s design<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Diving deeper into the aesthetic, visual rhythm plays a central role in the architecture of Wave. The space is underscored by repeating patterns \u2014 from striped upholstery to checkerboard textiles and sculptural lamps \u2014 that create a subtle yet pervasive sense of movement. Materiality is both grounding and uplifting, with textural layers like polished marble, raw ceramics, natural wood, and layered upholstery interacting to create a sense of richness without visual noise. The core palette of terracotta and sand tones speaks directly to sun-baked coastal towns of the Mediterranean, while strategic accents of deep navy and cobalt offer moments of sharp contrast and depth. These characteristics are also translated through bespoke furniture, crafted in collaboration with Custom No.9.<\/p>\n<p>textural layers like printed wallpapers, hand-painted ceramic tiles, and polished marble add a sense of richness without visual noise<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wave is a feast for considered details. A standout element is the bold and varied use of tiles: handcrafted Moroccan zellige and hand-painted ceramic tiles mingle with custom-designed floor patterns that subtly guide circulation and define zones. This tactile and graphic approach to surface design reinforces the project\u2019s rhythmic language and adds a vibrant sense of craftsmanship to every corner. The lighting, sourced from designers including Incommonwith, Henry Holland, Italamp, and &amp;Tradition, was selected specifically to accentuate architectural features, creating the shifting moods that evolve from day to night. Furthermore, IDST meticulously curated a collection of art and decorative objects, like handcrafted vases, to imbue the restaurant with a soulful, textured identity.<\/p>\n<p>the lighting was selected specifically to accentuate architectural features<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>terracotta and sand tones relate to the Mediterranean\u2019s sun-baked coastal towns, while accents of deep navy offer moments of sharp contrast and depth<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>custom-designed floor patterns subtly guide circulation and define zones<\/p>\n<p>bespoke furniture, crafted together with Custom No.9, translates the interior\u2019s characteristics into form<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>Memphis style\u2019s sculptural rhythm is articulated through custom furnishings and material finishes<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>layered upholstery continues the theme of sun-drenched softness<\/p>\n<p>the project\u2019s rhythmic language, tactile, and graphic approach adds a sense of craftsmanship to every corner<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the design\u2019s deliberate contrasts pairs soft versus bold, curved versus linear, and earthy versus graphic<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project name:<\/strong> Wave<br \/>\n<strong>designer:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idst.ae\/\">IDST<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>location:<\/strong> Mirdif, Dubai, UAE<br \/>\n<strong>photographer:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/nateleecocks.com\/\">Natelee Cocks<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>date:<\/strong> 2025<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/design\/idst-wave-dubai-restaurant-10-15-2025\/\">IDST pairs memphis playfulness with mediterranean ease in wave restaurant, dubai<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IDST\u2019s textured Wave restaurant in Dubai \u00a0 Wave, an all-day dining destination in Dubai, UAE, embraces the Memphis style to boldly reinterpret Mediterranean sensibilities.
