Campomar Mitikah is the largest of the Campomar locations in Mexico — 1,487 m2, 337 diners, and an unexpected origin: a skylight. The first time we visited the venue, we discovered an oval triangular opening in the ceiling with a direct view toward the country's tallest apartment building. That view changed everything.

From that dome came the bar: designed as if the light entering through the skylight left its mark on the floor, the bar's footprint follows the projection of that light, like a shadow that never disappears. Above it, a five-meter woven whale created by artist Xavi Lorand hangs in the air, surrounded by a "halo" of bottle shelves that recreates the waves formed by water as a cetacean passes through. A reflecting pool with a whale-tail sculpture completes the marine narrative of the space.

The result is Campomar in its most international version: the blue and white colors that define the brand, brought into a more elevated and cosmopolitan aesthetic, capable of engaging with the scale and ambition of the city that surrounds it.

Everything began from an architectural accident: a skylight that no one had considered a design asset. Turning it into the origin of the bar — making its shape project itself as a light imprint on the floor — is the kind of decision that transforms a limitation into the project's most memorable gesture. Xavi Lorand's woven whale and the halo of bottles are not decoration: they are the logical consequence of having started by looking upward.
