London Style Hotspot: Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester, W1

Excellent food, impeccable service and a personalised design concept make for a special night out
Sparkling: a luminescent oval curtain makes for a striking centrepiece
Amira Hashish25 July 2014

The look: So chic. A beige backdrop is lifted with sparkling details, including a private dining space in the centre of the room, made of a luminescent oval curtain with 4,500 shimmering fiber optics which drop dramatically from the ceiling. This summer there is a special addition to the design concept as interiors brand L'Objet have stepped in to take over another of the private dining rooms to launch its Sous Le Ciel collection of dinnerware, which celebrates the brand's 10th anniversary.

Happy Birthday: L'objet celebrate their 10th anniversary with a new dinnerware collection

L’Objet’s founder and designer Elad Yifrach says: “The Sous le Ciel collection pays homage to the world of Chinese emperors of the Han Dynasty. This period of intellectual and artistic expression is reflected in the ageless design of the collection, crafted using time-honoured techniques. For Salon L’Objet, diners are invited to select any combination of dinnerware and table accents from Sous le Ciel before they take their seats. It’s the ultimate dining experience”. The partnership runs until July 31.

Who’s behind it? Alain Ducasse, one of the world's most celebrated chefs, has brought his savvy team on board. His enthusiasm for great dining experiences is reflected through the superb staff.
