"Wave, an all-day dining destination in , UAE, embraces the style to boldly reinterpret Mediterranean sensibilities. Located in the heart of Mirdif, a neighborhood, known for its grounded atmosphere and local appeal IDST designed the restaurant as a warm, textural landscape that unfolds gradually for its guests. Its interiors shift from the sun-drenched softness of its natural light to the sculptural rhythm articulated by its custom furnishings and material finishes."
"The architectural and design vision for Wave was brought to life by IDST. Renowned for its thoughtful design, the studio emphasizes materiality, character, and intention in every space it creates. Completed in 2025, their work for Wave, from the full design and supervision to sourcing and styling, introduces layers of refinement and creativity. At its core, the concept fuses Mediterranean ease with the expressive geometry of Memphis design."
"the restaurant's aesthetic mixes the Mediterranean and the expressive geometry of Memphis design materiality and pattern layer IDST's design Diving deeper into the aesthetic, visual rhythm plays a central role in the architecture of Wave. The space is underscored by repeating patterns - from striped upholstery to checkerboard textiles and sculptural lamps - that create a subtle yet pervasive sense of movement. Materiality is both grounding and uplifting, with textural layers like polished marble, raw ceramics, natural wood,"
Wave is an all-day dining destination in Dubai's Mirdif neighborhood designed by IDST as a warm, textural landscape that transitions from sun-drenched daytime softness to sculptural evening drama. The concept fuses Mediterranean ease with Memphis geometry, using deliberate contrasts—soft versus bold, curved versus linear, earthy versus graphic—to establish a distinct identity. Repeating patterns, striped upholstery, checkerboard textiles, and sculptural lamps generate visual rhythm while materials like polished marble, raw ceramics, and natural wood create layered tactile warmth. Completed in 2025, the project encompassed full design, supervision, sourcing, and styling to craft a refined, multisensory hospitality environment.
