Introduction

In 2017, ISG was appointed by Al Sharq Investments to fit out a 17,000 sq ft Japanese-Korean fine dining restaurant, Akira Back Restaurant, located within W Hotel The Palm in Dubai.

Situated on the fifth floor of the hotel, The restaurant bears the namesake of the chef who owns it. To match the exquisite menu the restaurant offers, the restaurant demanded an interior that acts as a showcase to Akira Back's creations while taking guests on a journey beyond Dubai.
