The UAE based Chef is behind globally acclaimed culinary experiences, including the recently opened Gaia Mayfair in London, Gaia Monte Carlo in Monaco, IZU at Mandarin Oriental in Doha, and Alaya, Shanghai Me, Scalini and Kai Enzo in Dubai.
The architecture of Sama Yas was conceptualised by Woods Bagot, while Mustard & Linen’s blended artistic and practical design principles with the aim of creating a range of rich and visually captivating interior spaces.
Chef Izu has inspired the kitchen designs with a focus on space, storage and fine finishings, encouraging residents to experiment with gastronomy from the comfort of their own homes.
“This collaboration is truly a meeting of minds, an ongoing discussion of how we can build a kitchen that caters for every moment in life. The flow of energy from the kitchen to the dining space, enhancing every occasion with friends, family and loved ones. I wanted to challenge myself and bring everything I have learned from our restaurants to the home, and I am so excited to see it come to life.”
