Conceptual Lighting Design for a Restaurant

balikbayan /ˌbälikˈbīən/  noun. A Filipino returning home after spending time in another country.

Inspired by the azure seas and verdant green jungles of the Philippine Islands, this conceptual restaurant lighting design incorporates organic shapes and natural materials such as indigenous woods, capiz shells, and coral.

The warmth of tropical sunsets and famous Filipino hospitality come together in delicious union in this friendly and welcoming dining environment.

This project is a conceptual lighting design for an existing restaurant space in Downtown Los Angeles.
