Double-sided 'Abstract' Ankara graphic print lampshade

‘Abstract’ is a bespoke lampshade designed using my architectural understanding of illumination and how artificial light interacts with patterned and plain textiles when combined. Handmade using an Ankara fabric , this shade creates a deep, atmospheric light when illuminated.

Fabric Story This design features an Ankara waxed cotton printed fabric, chosen for its retro-feel and blue, lime, burgundy and white patterning against a black backdrop.

Lighting Behaviour Paired with it's Royal Blue lining, ‘Abstract’ responds distinctively when warm bulbs are applied. The blue tone transfers subtly into the white elements darkening the whole shade creating a low light level, just bright enough for a bit of background lighting in spaces where too much light is an interference, like home cinemas or gaming rooms.

Handmade Craft Each lampshade is handmade in London using traditional making techniques. The exterior pattern is aligned with precision, the interior lining is finished cleanly, and the structure is built to maintain its sculptural form over time. As part of a limited run, every shade carries the individuality of the maker’s hand.
