Double-sided ‘Goodnight Rose’ Ankara print lampshade
Double-sided lampshade with plain olive green fabric outer plus ‘Rose’ print Ankara fabric inner. Shown in 30cm diameter.
‘Goodnight Rose’ is a bespoke lampshade designed using my architectural understanding of illumination and how patterned textiles behave when placed inside a shade. Unlike traditional lampshades, ‘Goodnight Rose’ reveals its design only when lit, creating a bold, glowing horizontal stripe effect. A modern addition to any room.
Fabric Story This shade features an Ankara waxed cotton printed fabric on the interior, chosen for its vintage feels and red rose motifs. When the lamp is off, the exterior remains calm and understated in a clean, plain, coloured fabric. When illuminated, the interior pattern glows through the lining and outer fabric, creating a layered, that alters subtly depending on the bulb temperature.
Lighting Behaviour Paired with its Olive Green outer face, ‘Goodnight Rose’ responds dramatically to warm bulbs, pulling the interior roses through the shade and creating a classical vintage aesthetic ideal for living and dining rooms, hallways, and evening lighting. The alterative Cream colour on the outside would intensify the contrast between off and on as the inner pattern would be transferred in its original form with no effect on the pattern colours from inside to outside. This would then be suitable for workspaces or reading corners. Its ability to shift personality under different outer colour options and bulb temperatures makes it a versatile choice for both ambient and decorative lighting.
Handmade Craft Each lampshade is handmade in London using traditional making techniques. The interior pattern is aligned with precision, the lining is finished cleanly, and the structure is built to maintain its form over time. As part of a limited run, every shade carries the individuality of the maker’s hand.
