Client: McDonald’s
Project: Custom Glass Design for McDonald’s
Introduction – Iconic Brand, Iconic Venue
McDonald’s sought out Sun Studio to reimagine the interior design of their high-traffic flagship location in The Dubai Mall. Our team was brought on not only as the production partner but also as design consultants, tasked with developing an innovative use of printed glass to modernize the outlet’s look. The goal was to create visually engaging architectural elements that were durable, food-safe, and instantly recognizable as part of the McDonald’s brand experience.
THE CHALLENGE
McDonald’s required a high-visibility, modern design solution for their Dubai Mall outlet that could withstand heavy foot traffic while clearly communicating brand identity. The challenge was to utilize glass as a printing substrate to achieve bold, clean graphics and colors that are durable against repeated cleaning, all while complying with strict food service standards.
OUR SOLUTION- GRADE GLASS PRINTING
As consultants, Sun Studio guided the design team toward using custom-printed glass panels for architectural features (e.g., counter fascia, wall murals). Using our advanced UV printing technology, we ensured:
- Brand Color Accuracy: Perfect reproduction of McDonald’s primary color palette onto the glass.
- Safety and Durability: Use of tempered glass and specialized inks for a surface that is easy to clean, highly resistant to wear, and compliant with hospitality regulations.
- Impactful Design: Creation of large-format glass pieces that provide visual depth and sophistication compared to standard signage.
THE IMPACT
The completed printed glass installations successfully transformed the Dubai Mall outlet into a modern, high-impact space. McDonald’s now features durable, clean, and visually engaging architectural elements that enhance the customer experience, showcase their commitment to modern design, and significantly improve the operational lifespan of the aesthetic features.
