Foibos Middle East - which set up its office in Bahrain a year ago combining the creativity of its parent light-designing firm with the centuries-old glassmaking expertise of Preciosa - looks set to clinch some of the high-profile projects in the region that demand an exclusive selection of chandeliers and lighting fittings

The Foibos-Preciosa team aims to provide fittings and glass sculptures that are "not just a light... and not just a glass" but a unique combination of the two, ensuring class, quality and exclusivity, says Foibos Middle East's regional manager Milan Spiller

Backed by numerous references in all continents, Foibos Middle East offers interior designers, architects, consultants, hotel managers and other prestigious clients customised and turnkey lighting contracting solutions through its one-stop shop service

"We are well aware of the importance placed on timely completion of contracts, hence we accord high priority to speed and reliability in any project," he adds

Foibos counts among its projects some of the most luxurious palaces in the region, as well as landmarks such as the Kingdom Centre in Riyadh and recently-opened Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi. Worldwide, the company has several high-profile projects to its credit spanning the globe, right from a number of Ritz-Carlton Hotels in the US and the Royal Palace in Denmark, to the Taj Krishna in India and the Shangri-La hotel in Beijing, China
