Luci’s – Cleadon
THE BRIEF
Luci’s is a brand-new Italian restaurant in Cleadon, South Tyneside, created to bring an authentic taste of Italy to the heart of the community. Space ID was commissioned to design a warm, inviting, and stylish dining space from the ground up—one that captures the essence of Italian hospitality while offering a contemporary and elegant atmosphere. The goal was to craft a setting that feels both timeless and fresh, perfect for everything from casual lunches to special evening celebrations.
THE SOLUTION
Space ID designed a space that embodies the charm of a traditional Italian trattoria with a modern, refined twist. Using a warm Mediterranean-inspired palette, rustic textures, and bespoke furnishings, the interior reflects both the vibrancy of Italian culture and the welcoming spirit of Cleadon. A striking feature of the design is a Cole & Sons wallpaper mural panel depicting an atmospheric Italian cityscape, adding depth and character to the space. Enhancing this, interactive lighting within the tiny windows of the mural brings the scene to life, with lights turning on and off to create a dynamic, immersive experience for diners. Thoughtful details, ambient lighting, and carefully selected materials create an atmosphere that transitions seamlessly from relaxed daytime dining to an intimate, candlelit evening experience.
THE RESULTS
Luci’s has emerged as a standout destination for Italian cuisine in the area, offering guests a beautifully designed space that enhances their dining experience. The combination of sophisticated yet approachable design, authentic Italian charm, and unique interactive features ensures that Luci’s feels instantly welcoming—whether for a quick espresso, a leisurely meal, or a special occasion.
