London Pub Lighting | Bespoke Empire Lampshades in Linen

Iberian Lighting was commissioned to design feature lighting for a busy London pub, with fixtures that not only looked the part but also supported the venue’s acoustics and durability needs.

We crafted oversized empire shade frames, wrapped in two layers of herringbone linen fabric. The light brown colour was carefully chosen for its traditional pub aesthetic — bright enough to illuminate the bar while practical in hiding stains. To ensure safety and resilience in a lively setting, each lampshade was suspended using a triple-chain hanging system, engineered to handle the weight and movement of a packed pub on a Friday night.

This project highlights how thoughtful bespoke lampshade design
can solve real-world challenges, from durability and acoustic performance to maintaining an authentic atmosphere. It also shows how Iberian Lighting applies smart, practical solutions across a range of hospitality lighting projects.
