A look behind the development of a bespoke illuminated feature made by Iberian Lighting for Lalique Home Bar by Elicyon at WOW!house 2026, exploring the testing, diffusion, hidden structure and workshop decisions behind the finished piece.
Heritage crafts continue to play an important role in contemporary interior design, bringing individuality, material authenticity and specialist skills that are difficult to reproduce through large-scale manufacturing. From traditional textiles to handmade lighting, these techniques preserve knowledge, support local craftsmanship and contribute to interiors with greater depth, character and longevity.
How bespoke lighting designs are developed from drawing through to prototype, ensuring they can be manufactured consistently and accurately.
Bespoke doesn’t mean rejecting technology. This Journal piece explores how Iberian Lighting fuses traditional craftsmanship with modern precision tools to create lampshades that honour the hand while embracing innovation, proof that artistry and machinery can work hand in hand.
