The humble barber shop has been elevated to a stylish and luxurious experience and Ruffians is the perfect example. The interior has a clear nod to the location’s industrial past; previously an abattoir, this quirky venue has been given the full Ruffians treatment. Use of exposed brick and chunky oiled wood gives the space a tough, masculine feel that is elevated through the use of a selection of industrial lighting designs from Industville in brass.. Pride of place are two of Industville’s favourite lighting shapes.
The classic Brooklyn Antique Flat Industrial Pendant Light is placed above the counter as you walk in. Its design looks to early-20th-century industrial lighting, retaining the classic lines and exposed hardware of the originals. Illuminating each work station is The Vintage Round Shaped Barn Swan Neck Retro Wall Sconce Lamp inspired by heritage barn lighting designed to showcase the warmth of Edison-style filament bulbs.
Andrew Cannon, Founder and Director of Ruffians says “Our Ruffians Shoreditch store used to be an abattoir, so we needed to ensure we used detailing that reflected the Ruffians aesthetic as well as giving that traditional, industrial edge. The Industville lighting was exactly what we needed. Our golden wall mounted lights are an eye-catching element of our store with the pendant lights helping complete the look and provide perfect lighting.”
