Custom Shades

Most of what leaves our workshop is built around something you already own — a base, an heirloom, a room that needs a particular kind of light. If it's not on the showroom floor, this is what we build instead.

Table lamp with a hand-painted red abacus base and matching red shade

Built around your object, not a catalogue

An old abacus, a ceramic urn, a cup that means something — bring us the object and we'll work out how to wire it, frame it, and shade it properly. The red abacus lamp shown here started exactly that way.

If there's no object yet, a photo of the room and a sense of the mood you're after is enough to start a conversation.

How a custom piece comes together

01

Bring the idea

An object, a photo, or just a description of the room and the light you want.

02

We work out the build

Wiring, framing and fabric are worked out together so the finished piece is safe and proportioned correctly.

03

Hand-built in the workshop

The same workshop floor that handles our hospitality contracts builds your one-off piece.

04

Fit & deliver

Collect from the showroom or have it delivered, fitted and ready to switch on.

Have an object you want turned into a lamp?

Send us a photo and we'll tell you what's possible.
