Luxury Dining Meets Art: Ligkt™ Printed Stretch Ceiling at Les Amis

Where Dining Meets Design

The fusion of fine dining and art creates an unforgettable experience, elevating the ambiance of any space. At Les Amis, a three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Singapore, Ligkt’s printed stretch ceiling brings an artistic masterpiece to life. This innovative ceiling design, featuring a Renaissance-inspired fresco, transforms the private dining space into an immersive environment where culinary excellence meets architectural ingenuity.

The Intersection of Design and Functionality

Membrane ceilings are more than just architectural elements; they contribute to both visual appeal and functional performance. Ligkt’s printed stretch ceiling at Les Amis seamlessly integrates advanced technology with artistic expression.

A Work of Art Above

The ceiling showcases a stunning UV-printed image of Andrea Mantegna’s Renaissance fresco, “The Oculus.” This intricate design creates a sense of depth and grandeur, making guests feel as though they are dining beneath an open sky. The light membrane diffuses illumination evenly, highlighting the fine details of the artwork while providing a comfortable dining environment.

Membrane Lighting for an Immersive Experience

The stretch ceiling incorporates membrane lighting, ensuring balanced brightness throughout the space. Translucent membranes allow for soft, indirect illumination, eliminating harsh shadows and creating an inviting atmosphere. The use of a light diffuser ceiling further refines the dining room’s ambiance, making it ideal for an intimate culinary experience.

Acoustic Considerations for a Serene Dining Space

Noise control is crucial in fine dining environments. Acoustic stretch ceilings help manage sound reflections, preventing excessive reverberation. At Les Amis, acoustic ceiling panels paired with Ligkt’s printed stretch ceiling contribute to a peaceful setting where conversation flows effortlessly without background distractions.

Why Les Amis Chose Ligkt's Printed Stretch Ceiling

Les Amis, known for its Michelin-starred experience, enhances its private dining space with a printed stretch ceiling that complements both design and function. Created using Ligkt’s advanced printing technology, the Renaissance-inspired ceiling adds artistic depth without overwhelming the refined interior. Beyond its visual impact, the ceiling integrates acoustic membrane lighting to reduce noise and improve clarity, while sustainable, fire-rated materials reflect the restaurant’s commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility.

Advantages of Printed Stretch Ceilings in Hospitality Spaces

Stretch membrane ceilings offer multiple advantages beyond their artistic presentation. These installations improve functionality while maintaining a sleek and sophisticated appearance.

Seamless Integration with Lighting Systems

The ceiling membrane accommodates LED lighting systems, including LED strip light diffusers, to create a well-balanced illumination scheme. By dispersing light evenly, the printed stretch ceiling ensures that no area appears overly bright or dim, fostering a comfortable dining experience.

Long-Term Durability and Maintenance

Stretched membranes are resistant to humidity, heat, and wear, making them ideal for high-end hospitality venues. The fire-rated ceilings used in Les Amis comply with safety standards while retaining their pristine condition over time. Unlike traditional ceiling materials, they require minimal upkeep

How Printed Stretch Ceilings Add Value to Guest-Centric Spaces

Printed stretch ceilings combine design versatility with sustainable innovation, making them a standout feature in modern hospitality environments.

  • Sustainable Materials: Made with low-emission components and eco-friendly cladding, they support environmentally responsible design goals.

  • Creative Flexibility: Suitable for restaurants, hotels, and retail interiors, they allow for branding, thematic visuals, or artistic expression to suit any concept.

The Future of Printed Stretch Ceilings in Hospitality Design

As hospitality spaces continue to evolve, so do the methods used to shape their interiors. Printed stretch ceilings offer a dynamic approach to transforming restaurants, hotels, and event spaces. Beyond their ability to integrate art into architecture, they provide functional benefits such as acoustic improvement, sustainable materials, and seamless lighting integration. The Les Amis project is a prime example of how a ceiling can transcend its traditional role, becoming a defining feature of a luxury dining experience.

The growing demand for innovative sustainable facades and eco-friendly interior designs means that more establishments will explore stretch ceiling design as an option for their spaces. With printed designs offering a unique way to introduce branding and thematic decor, the potential applications are vast. As demonstrated at Les Amis, Ligkt’s printed stretch ceiling is not just an architectural element—it is an immersive feature that elevates the entire dining experience.
