The Cullinan

The Cullinan is a study in bold sophistication, where moody opulence meets refined restraint. Drawing from the essence of its namesake gem, the space unfolds in layers of dark marble, rich timber, and brushed metal, creating a tactile experience that is both intimate and expansive. Thoughtfully illuminated by sculptural lighting and anchored by dramatic architectural forms, the restaurant moves seamlessly between grandeur and discretion – offering a setting that feels at once timeless and resolutely modern.

"Designed by the visionary Tristan du Plessis — a name synonymous with bold, boundary-pushing interiors — The Cullinan feels like stepping into a living work of art. Rich textures, sleek lines, and a moody palette come together in a space that’s both contemporary and timeless."
