Exclusive and elegant lighting for London's restaurant scene
In the heart of London, two distinctive restaurants stand out for their elegant design and high standard of cuisine. La Bibliothèque and Papermoon are renowned venues that, although located in different contexts, share the use of refined lighting solutions that enhance their unique atmosphere.
Both lighting projects were realised in collaboration with Lightingspiration - the official UK partner for Aldo Bernardi products - to bring the best of tradition and innovation in lighting design to the heart of London.
For both La Bibliothèque and Papermoon, the properties opted for solutions from the On Stage collection, selecting lamps that not only met functional requirements, but were also aesthetically in keeping with the design and atmosphere of the restaurants.
Lighting up the atmosphere of La Bibliothèque with style and elegance
As far as the restaurant La Bibliothèque is concerned, the Ukulele by Aldo Bernardi stand out among the selected products. These pendant lamps - which fit perfectly into a classy ambience, enhancing it - were chosen for the bar area, becoming the true focal point of the restaurant.
The Ukulele lamps represent the emblem of a perfect balance between functionality and beauty. With their exclusive mix of refined materials, these lamps are able to diffuse a soft and inviting lighting that contributes to creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, essential for a high-end restaurant like La Bibliothèque.
Antique brass - chosen for its timeless elegance and to match the other brass finishes in the restaurant - perfectly complements the pongee silk material, a durable and eco-friendly natural fibre that adds a feeling of luxury without compromising environmental responsibility..
Furthermore, the On Stage line also guarantees products characterised by an adjustable height, which allows the position and arrangement of the lamps to be adapted to the needs of the restaurant, guaranteeing homogeneous light distribution.
These features are at the heart of Aldo Bernardi's design philosophy: lighting sources that are not only functional, but true design pieces, designed to last over time without ever losing their appeal.
The refined lighting of Tehinà in Italian design
In addition to the stunning installation at La Bibliothèque, Aldo Bernardi was also involved in another important London project: the lighting of Papermoon restaurant at the OWO. Formerly known as The Old War Office, the historic Grade II listed building once served as a workplace for notable political figures including Winston Churchill, during the 20th century..
In this case too, the choice of lighting fell on an element capable of creating a cosy atmosphere true to the Italian tradition. Tehinà, also from Aldo Bernardi's On Stage collection, were selected to enrich the ambience of the restaurant, with a design that perfectly reflects the restaurant's Mediterranean theme.
Thanks also to Feray Takmak's specification, these wall lamps were installed with a precise arrangement on the walls, emphasising the discreet elegance and quality of Italian design.
Here again, the use of antique brass and pleated fabric created a soft, diffuse light that gives the restaurant a warm and inviting atmosphere.

How to create the perfect lighting for a classy restaurant
The importance of a quality lighting choice, as demonstrated in the projects of La Bibliothèque and Papermoon, is fundamental to enhance the space while maintaining an aesthetic and functional coherence. It is no coincidence that both venues chose to rely on Aldo Bernardi's tradition and innovation, using products from the On Stage collection to create unique environments that combine elegance, practicality and quality craftsmanship.
The care with which each lamp has been positioned within the premises has resulted in high quality lighting, creating continuity with the décor of the locations and an emotional bond with guests, who perceive the attention to detail and commitment to creating a unique experience.
As a result, every corner of La Bibliothèque and Papermoon is illuminated with light that exudes elegance and warmth, making both restaurants a place where customers can feel at ease and fully enjoy a meal or a drink.
In conclusion, Aldo Bernardi's choice of lighting solutions not only met the restaurants' practical needs, but also helped to define their visual identity and style
