Double-sided ‘Grid’ multicoloured Ankara print lampshade

‘Grid’ is a bespoke lampshade designed using my architectural understanding of illumination and how artificial light interacts with patterned and plain textiles when placed adjacent to one another. Handmade using a Ankara fabric, this shade creates a warm, atmospheric light that glows beautifully when illuminated.

Fabric Story This design features an Ankara waxed cotton, printed fabric, chosen for its energetic, bold pattern and striking colours including orange, yellow, emerald green and royal blue with smaller elements in black and white. The pattern has a soothing quality to it, and when lit, gives off a calm yet expressive glow.

Lighting Behaviour Paired with its Bright Yellow lining, 'Grid' responds distinctively when warm bulbs are applied. The yellow tone transfers subtly into the yellow and orange elements of the pattern and softens the royal blue and green creating a soothing and relaxing light ideal for living and dining rooms plus hallways home offices and cinema 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.
