YÙ & MÌ

Dubai, United Arab Emirates · LW Dubai studio

YÙ & MÌ is a bar and restaurant at Mandarin Oriental Jumeirah, Dubai, designed by LW Design Group as an ode to the golden age of 1930s Shanghai — a world of intrigue, glamour and playful contradiction.

An ode to the golden age of 1930s Shanghai, Yu & Mi is a world of intrigue, glamour, and playful contradiction. It channels a nostalgic era when Shanghai was Asia’s most cosmopolitan metropolis, a place of jazz clubs, opium dens, clandestine meetings and effortless decadence.

What was the brief?

Mandarin Oriental Jumeirah commissioned a venue that transports guests to 1930s Shanghai — from exotic cocktails to nostalgic soundscapes, an atmosphere designed to evoke mystery and leisurely indulgence.
