Double-sided ‘Chrysanthemum’ Ankara print lampshade

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

Fabric Story This design features an Ankara, waxed cotton, printed, fabric, featuring bold, striking chrysanthemum flowers in pink and orange contrasting a white, grey and dark blue background.

Lighting Behaviour Paired with its peach lining, ‘Chrysanthemum’ responds distinctively when warm bulbs are applied. The peach tone transfers subtly into the white elements of the pattern and enriches the plink and orange elements, creating a soothing and relaxing light ideal for living rooms and bedrooms. If you're looking for something bolder mix the outer fabric with orange fabric inside for more intensity, and if you want to calm it down a pale blue on the inside does just that, bringing clarity and vibrancy that works beautifully in hallways, studios, or reading corners. Its balanced behaviour makes it adaptable to both ambient and task lighting.

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.
