Restaurant Savoy

At Gallery, the newest restaurant concept at the iconic Savoy in London, the Humble Firefly feels like a natural part of the whole. This cordless table lamp enhances the dynamic atmosphere of modern hospitality spaces, with a design that effortlessly combines beauty and ambiance. Subtle in presence, yet essential in effect.

Humble creates lighting objects that enrich interiors, set the mood, and contribute to a memorable guest experience. The interior of Gallery reflects this vision. Shayne Brady, founder of the London-based Studio Shayne Brady, designed a space that honors The Savoy’s heritage with a contemporary signature. Murals of dancing silhouettes, modern chandeliers, and low table lamps like Firefly together create a warm, inviting atmosphere. A place that invites you to linger, from morning light to evening glow.

During the design process of Gallery, the team sought an aesthetic alternative to candlelight on the tables. The choice fell on Humble. “The risk of open flames on tables was too great,” says The Savoy team. “We wanted a compact table lamp with a soft, warm glow that would seamlessly match the mood and aesthetic of Gallery. Humble’s Firefly offered exactly that combination of refined design and understated presence.”

The Firefly lamps in the Gold Frosted finish were carefully selected as a fitting complement to the interior design by Studio Shayne Brady. The result is a layered atmosphere where lighting serves not only as a functional element but as an extension of the interior itself: elegant, thoughtful, and perfectly in tune with the space.

With up to 140 hours of battery life, dimmable light settings, and wireless control, Firefly is more than just an ambiance enhancer — it’s a smart solution for efficient service. No hassle with cables, and with a single action, multiple lamps can be turned on or off, saving staff valuable time. At the same time, the desired mood at each table can be easily adjusted without disrupting the guest experience.

Gallery opened in November 2024 and forms the vibrant heart of The Savoy. Throughout the day, the space effortlessly adapts to the rhythm of its guests — from luxurious breakfasts and afternoon tea to pre-theatre cocktails and intimate dinners. As daylight fades into evening, Gallery transforms into one of London’s most romantic restaurants. Firefly supports this transition with a soft, warm glow: a subtle lighting accent that enhances the atmosphere without taking center stage.
