Bompas & Parr creates Glow-in-the-Dark Sushi bar
Design studio Bompas & Parr has created a pop-up bar serving glow-in-the-dark sushi and cocktails in Abu Dhabi.
London-based Bompas & Parr created the Glow-in-the-Dark Sushi bar at Mother of the Nation, a festival that took place in the UAE capital from 9 to 18 December 2021.
Sushi served at the bar displayed florescent colours
By combining ultraviolet light with bioluminescent ingredients, the designers were able to create sushi dishes and cocktails in an array of lurid colours.
The menu included fluorescent pink nigiri, and maki in shades of electric blue and neon green.
The effect was created using a type of UV light
The effect was created by using black light, a type of UV light that emits ultraviolet radiation. According to Bompas & Parr, around 15 per cent of all minerals are capable of emitting vivid colours when subjected to this light.
The phenomenon, called "electron displacement", sees ultraviolet energy push certain atoms to higher orbits. The light effect is caused as they return to normal orbit.
The menu was developed using naturally bioluminescent ingredients
"The black light emits ultraviolet radiation, which excites atoms and causes them to release fluorescent light," said Rian Coulter, senior account manager for Bompas & Parr.
