Double-sided ‘Fans’ Indian Cotton woodblock print lampshade
‘Fans’ is a bespoke lampshade designed using my architectural understanding of illumination and how artificial light interacts with patterned and plain textiles when paired. Handmade using an Indian Woodblock printed fabric, this shade creates a soft, atmospheric light that glows beautifully when illuminated.
Fabric Story This design features an Indian Woodblock print, chosen for its stylised fan motif and striking contrast between rich blue, and crisp white. When lit the pattern fan motif softens i, giving the shade a calm yet expressive glow.
Lighting Behaviour Paired with its pink lining, 'Fans' responds distinctively when warm bulbs are applied. The pink tone transfers into the white elements of the pattern and changes the blue into a lilac hue, creating a soothing and relaxing light ideal for living rooms and bedrooms. Alternative colours are available for the inside which would change the outer blue colour in a different way - think of it like mixing paint and the effect these colours would make when combined with blue! Cooler bulbs sharpen the edges of the fan pattern, 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.
