"An eye for design & detail" "An original & subtle style which is spot on" "A real find - much the best place I've found to buy lighting"
We are a small company, designing and making lamps and lampshades (and a few other things) sustainably and ethically in the UK. We spend a lot of time focusing on the details, how the grain of wood lies on a lamp for example or the quality of light from a shade. We have our own collection of lamps in wood, glass, metal and ceramics and a changing page of one-off vintage lamps sourced and restored by us. We also have an extensive bespoke lampshade service with our in house off-white linen and card and a source book of plain linens, silks, patterns and unusual materials. We can advise on shapes, recover old shades, rewire and adapt older lamps and are up for a challenge.
READ MOREWe have found that matching a shade to a lampbase can be difficult. Have a look at our Size and Shape Guide or if you would find it easier to try some combinations you are very welcome to visit us in our Studio. We have a large source book of different materials. Email or ring to arrange a time before you come.
If your lampshade is to hang as a ceiling light we make it with a pendant fitting at the top of the shade. Otherwise, we will make it in our standard way with what’s known as a duplex fitting. This then sits on a shade carrier, fits all standard and table lamps and allows you to adjust the height of the shade to suit your base. So for ceiling light, please choose CEILING and for standard and table lamps please choose LAMP BASE FITTING
The exception to this is if you choose a small lampshade for a lamp base when we use a fixed fitting at the bottom of the shade. Because the shade is relatively small, we think this looks better. This will be automatically adjusted when you order but if you have any queries or are unsure about anything, don’t hesitate to email or give us a ring, 07790 527 594 / 07968 103985
This drum is a little longer than many you will find in the shops and as such has a more contemporary and unusual look. It suits both table and standard lamp bases and works very well as a ceiling light.
Another classic design which lends itself to most lamp bases. We have experimented with a number of similar shapes and think that the slope of its sides is just about right.
A more contemporary take on the French Drum, this shape has steeper sides for a more modern look.

Our candle shades come as 3/4 cones or full cones. If your light is fixed close to the wall or the sconces are close together, 3/4 cones work perfectly.
