Obica, a new restaurant and lounge in Adliya, Manama, blends luxury with Bahrain’s artisanal heritage. The 431-square-meter space features rich materials and meticulous craftsmanship. A chandelier of 78,000 mother-of-pearl shells, inspired by Verner Panton’s ceiling design, creates a shimmering, wave-like effect, honoring Bahrain’s pearling history. A burgundy and emerald green palette, marble flooring, velvet upholstery, and scenic Ananbô wallpapers enhance the dramatic yet intimate ambiance, offering a glamorous, immersive experience in Manama.
