Double-sided ‘Punk’ multicoloured Ankara print lampshade

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

Fabric Story This design features an Ankara waxed cotton, printed fabric, chosen for its striking colours over a cream backdrop. It's pattern is chaotic, gnarly and also so full of life. I love it! It's also extremely versatile due to the amount of cream in the background which invites any colour on the inside of the shade to take over when illuminated.

Lighting Behaviour Paired with its black lining, 'Punk' gives off a dark and moody light level even when warm bulbs are applied. But just try switching that out for pink or orange or yellow and the difference in the warmth the lampshade emits is transformational. Th option to choose the inner fabric colour means its one of my most adaptive designs. So whether you want something calming for the bedroom, relaxing for the living or dining room, emotive for the hallway or neutral for your office space, 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.
