Lighting for Tabaris Meet&Beer

The project

Tabaris Meet&Beer is a Mediterranean restaurant in Valencia that combines prepared dishes with ordering at the counter. Archicercle designed and manufactured the lighting throughout the restaurant, using three types of fitting intended to distinguish areas by intimacy, use and length of stay.

The project brought together two approaches to lighting: adapting existing models from our collection and developing a fitting specifically for the space. The client chose Candle and Duna, which were modified in size and shape. Alongside them, Archicercle designed Wall Lamp in its entirety: a continuous light fitting shaped around the geometry of the wall.

Wall Lamp addressed a specific need: to create continuity across the divisions defined by the columns and illuminate the wall where the individual light fittings provided less light. Its sinusoidal profile followed the curves of the wall design, visually linking the separate sections.

The fitting was made from wooden slats, each different in shape and size. This variation creates its undulating profile: rather than repeating a single slat, distinct pieces work together to form a continuous whole.

Before it was taken to the restaurant, Wall Lamp was assembled in the studio on nine curved structural supports. These elements also provided the means of hanging the fitting and concealed the LED strip that casts a soft wash of light across the wall. The design therefore brought the visible form, supporting structure and position of the light together in a single solution.
