PRESTIGE

Prestige District is the largest luxury shopping destination in Kuwait. It contains all the high-end brands you could ever want, as well as fabulous cafes and restaurants serving the finest international cuisine.

Following the successful launch of this district in Phase 3, Prestige has been extended into Phase 4. Also, a second slightly different dome has been designed as a counterpoint to the original in Phase 3, and light up by GRUPO MCI.

The sublime dome, which has a spectacular lighting system by GRUPO MCI, is intended to be the meeting point and a tourist attraction of this luxurious shopping center.

To create different lighting scenes to entertain hundreds of visitors that will attend the new expansion of the Prestige shopping center, Square Grazer® and Mundo Dot (now Smart Dot®) luminaires from GRUPO MCI have been installed.

It should be noted that the dome with approximately 23 meters high x 46 meters diameter, is made of PVD coated stainless steel by Double Stone Steel.
