Article: Bespoke Pendant Lights for Luxury Interiors

Bespoke Pendant Lights for Luxury Interiors

In luxury interiors, lighting is more than functional - it’s a design signature that also shapes the feeling of a space. Whether you're styling a hotel lobby, private residence, or restaurant, pendant lights often serve as a core design element.

At Northern Lights, we collaborate with interior designers, architects, and procurement teams to create bespoke pendant lighting - whether through customisation of our Signature Collection, or fully bespoke commissions. Here's what makes our process different.

 

Signature Collection: Made to Order, Handcrafted in Britain

Our made-to-order pendant lights offer a flexible foundation for projects needing a fast turnaround without compromising on craftsmanship or materiality.

  • Handcrafted by artisans in our Derbyshire workshop
  • A large selection of materials and finishes to choose from
  • Customisable elements, such as size, shade, materials, and finishes
  • Lead times from 4–8 weeks
  • Ideal for boutique hotels, bars, restaurants and premium residences

Fully Bespoke Service

We also offer a white-glove service tour trade clients to create fully bespoke pendant lighting from scratch, and completely unique to each project:

  • A unique design developed from scratch, tailored to a concept, theme or interior brand
  • Material combinations or dimensions not found in standard collections
  • Collaboration with your design team from initial sketch to technical drawings and prototyping
  • Adaptations for site conditions such as vaulted ceilings, ultra-high voids or marine-grade specifications

Bespoke doesn’t always mean complicated - it just means considered.

 

Bespoke Lighting: Our Framework

We follow a tried-and-tested framework for bespoke commissions.  With design and manufacturing all under one roof, we’re uniquely positioned to offer exceptional service and end to end management through our specialist teams.  It’s a collaborative approach, and designers and procurement teams work with us in different ways.  For example, sometimes we get sent a reference images for inspiration or a rough sketch on a napkin, other times its through simple conversation and exploration.  Either way – our process remains the same.

Project Highlights

Here’s how we’ve helped design teams bring their bespoke pendant lighting visions to life:

Hilton London Park Lane

We developed a series of bespoke pendants for Hilton for the guest suites.

Custom bedside pendants suspended from the ceiling feature frame the beds beautifully, with polished brass, delicate chains and pearl linen shades. 

In the suite lounges, a mix of elegant statement pendants showcase our metalworking expertise. 

Each piece is completed with carefully selected braided flexes and hand-applied patinas for visual depth and craftsmanship.

Chateau Denmark

Vintage Gothic was the conceptual theme for Chateau Denmark. Toughened glass 'shard' panels were delicately finished with a smoke colouration to diffuse the light, while laser-cut 'meat hooks' secure the brass chain links draped between.

The Conrad at 9 Millbank

A triple globe pendant serves as a focal point in the kitchen, suspended off-centre to illuminate the built-in seating area in the island.

River Restaurant & Bar – Lowry Hotel

Individually handblown pendants in amber borosilicate glass were paired with filament tube lamps to make a real statement. The barrel-like structure is stacked in two and three sizes to encase the pendant's smaller segments, which resulted in a unique and inspiring design.

Vipp Chimney House

Three identical five-metre long pendants comprising of tiered sandblasted Perspex discs bring a modern industrialist vibe to the space.
