Solus Lumi — Project Case Study

Project: The Manama Residence | Private Villa, Bahrain

Location: Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain

Design Partner: Tara Nelson

The Brief

The client — a private homeowner in Manama — was completing a newly constructed seaside villa. The architecture featured high ceilings, arched doorways, and a warm neutral palette of stone and wood. The design called for lighting that felt both luxurious and understated — pieces that would complement the architecture without competing with it.

The designer’s vision was precise: custom colors, natural onyx, and hand-forged copper, executed with a refined, almost sculptural sensibility.

Standard chandelier light fixture and pendant light options from existing collections could not meet the required color specifications or material combinations. Every piece in the villa needed to be bespoke.

Our Solution

Solus Lumi collaborated with the lighting designer and the villa’s interior architecture team to create a cohesive lighting narrative across three fixture types — each custom-designed, each handcrafted, each uniquely tailored to its space.
