Method

We take great pride in the quality of the design process incorporating traditional pattern making and sewing techniques at each stage with meticulous attention to detail.

We are proud to say that all our lampshades are designed from scratch, starting with the frame shape which is sketched out in-house by Designer and Founder, Alice. Each drawing contains carefully considered calculations for size and style before submitting for production.

Once the frames are ready, each one is webbed in cotton ready for the fabric to be cut, chalked and machine sewn which in turn is then ready for hand stitching to the frame. A large proportion of our fabrics are then intricately hand pleated around the top of the frame, which has now become one of our signature techniques.

Each shade is then finished with a selection of responsibly sourced braids, fringes or our hand sewn ruffles. We do our best to work with as many local businesses as possible and have really enjoyed commissioning a range of multi tonal fringes made especially for us on local looms including our newest linen addition.
