We’re thrilled to announce our collaboration with Interiors Atelier in Ranelagh - a beautiful new range of handmade lampshades, designed to bring warmth, character, and a little bit of fun to your space. And now, we’re inviting you to bring your own creativity into the mix.
Join me, Shady and the Lamp, on Thursday the 23rd of October in Interiors Atelier, where you’ll have the chance to design your very own lampshade.
Choose from our curated range of shapes and materials, and create a piece that’s uniquely yours. Whether you’re drawn to bold prints or soft subtle weaves, this is your opportunity to design something truly personal.
Once you’ve chosen your favourite materials, we’ll whisk your bespoke lampshade into production ready to light up your home in just 2–3 weeks.
We can’t wait to see what you design!
