Looking... found 8 colors of this for $68. Maybe what color variety you want [safely behind a resin-type divider]

Maybe add a couple strobe lights at night.

The photo you show is in an African restaurant ~ thus the take on the African corset. What type of restaurant are you thinking about lighting ?

search for Macrame Lights and you will find directions online on how to make something similar. Or you can get someone on Etsy to make them for you: https://www.etsy.com/listing/551077068/macrame-chandelier?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=macrame%20pendant%20light&ref=sr_gallery-1-18

There is a Mexican restaurant that we visit in Raleigh, NC that is filled with star lanterns. The effect is very charming.
