Roost Living Hand Knitted Lightshade

Posted on | Leave a comment

KnittedLampshadeCUTWEB2 For an innovative re-imagining of a period lampshade, look no further than Roost Living's Hand Knitted Lightshade.

Created by artist Rory Dobner, the lampshades are knitted on vintage metal frames, so no two are the same. Using grey cotton yarn, the cable stitch creates a soft texture and attractive twisting border to the shade. This in turn means that light is softly filtered and diffused to give a gentle effect.

The shades cost £120 each and you can buy them exclusively from Roost Living.

House of Chintz Lamp Shades

Posted on | Leave a comment

Caravan_of_love 
Pattern designer and painter, Kate Boyce produces homewares under the name House of Chintz. As that glorious name would suggest, her work is inspired by suburban English landscapes of days gone by.

Her lampshades are inspired by the landscapes she grew up with, and use her own photography, combined with scans of vintage floral fabric from the 70s and 80s. Pictured here is the Caravan of Love design, which includes the favourite mobile holiday home of the 70s; other designs show houses and streets. The lampshades measure 30cm in diameter and can be used for ceiling or on a base.

The shades cost £65 from Radiance Lighting.

Art Nouveau-influenced ‘Tulip Tulip’ lampshade

Posted on | Leave a comment

Tulipsilkdrumlampshade4

Art Nouveau lighting may make you think of Tiffany lamps but this Tulip Tulip lampshade draws subtly on the floral designs produced in that period. The tulip wraparound design is hand-printed onto the silk shade. 

It's made by Yukari Sweeney, who (as excitement grows about the store hitting the shores of the British Isles) used to design for Anthropologie. The shade offers an attractive alternative to the Cath Kidston florals that currently are everywhere. One draw back is the price: it sells for £83.
