Harris + Hoole is a British coffee shop chain founded in 2012. Its aim is to bring high-quality, artisan-style coffee to the high street, blending the charm of independent cafés with broader accessibility. The shop is renowned for its skilled baristas, specialty beans, and warm, community-oriented design.

When Harris + Hoole acquired the building in 2023, the space was completely empty, giving the interior designers a blank canvas to unleash their creativity.
To bring their vision to life, Harris + Hoole turned to Illuma Lighting for a flexible and stylish lighting solution, trusting in Illuma’s extensive experience in transforming coffee shop interiors.
Illuma’s Lumapars were used throughout the shop to highlight key areas and define the space. These compact, efficient spotlights deliver focused illumination without adding visual clutter. The extra warm colour temperature enhances the natural tones of the wooden elements—tables, chairs, and the striking cork mural on the feature wall—creating a welcoming and balanced atmosphere that supports both aesthetics and functionality.

Layered lighting plays a vital role in shaping a practical yet comfortable environment. The Lumapars provide targeted light where it’s needed most, allowing baristas to work efficiently and safely, while customers enjoy their drinks in a relaxed setting.
Complementing the Lumapars, decorative fixtures add a softer, ambient glow that enriches the overall mood without overwhelming the space. This thoughtful combination ensures the coffee shop is well-lit for daily operations while maintaining a cosy, inviting vibe.

A funky 3-circuit track layout was designed to offer flexibility as the shop floor evolves. In a dynamic space like this, adaptability is key, since furniture arrangements shift, displays change, and the atmosphere transforms throughout the day. A versatile lighting system helps the space stay fresh, supports creative updates, and makes it easier to adapt as the shop grows or reimagines its layout.
Illuma’s lighting solution for Harris + Hoole demonstrates how thoughtful design and technical expertise can elevate a space beyond aesthetics. By combining functionality, flexibility, and warmth, the lighting not only enhances the customer experience but also empowers the team behind the counter. It’s a perfect example of how lighting can shape mood, support workflow, and bring a brand’s personality to life.
