‘The Light(n)ing Seeds’ is a bespoke lampshade designed using my architectural understanding of illumination and how patterned textiles behave when placed inside a shade. Unlike traditional lampshades, 'The Light(n)ing Seeds' reveals its design only when illuminated, creating a bold, glowing effect. A modern addition to any room.

Fabric Story This shade features an Ankara print featuring a giant seed pod motif in bright yellow, orange, and pink on the interior. Chosen for its playfulness, this is no ordinary lampshade. 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, creating a layered, effect that is bold and uncompromising.

Lighting Behaviour Paired with its Amelia Blue outer face, ‘The Light(n)ing Seeds’ responds dramatically to illumination, pulling the interior pattern through the shade and creating a punchy, graphic glow ideal for living rooms, hallways, and evening lighting. A lighter plain coloured fabric on the outside is an option and will intensify the contrast between being unlit and lit. The shade has a crisp, contemporary character that works beautifully in 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.
