Double-sided ‘You Made Me Blush’ lampshade

‘You Made Me Blush’ is a bespoke lampshade designed using my architectural understanding of illumination and how artificial light interacts with patterned and plain textiles. Handmade using an Ankara fabric, this shade creates a range of atmospheric lighting effects that glow beautifully when illuminated.

Fabric Story This design features an Ankara waxed cotton printed fabric, chosen for its graphic, bold stylised print  and striking contrast between rich green, on a beige coloured background. When illuminated the pattern becomes backlit by the inner fabric colour.

Lighting Behaviour Paired with its bright pink lining, ‘You Made Me Blush’ responds distinctively when warm bulbs are applied. The bright pink tone transfers into the beige elements of the pattern and darkens the green intensifying the contrast between the pattern colours and creating a bold pink light ideal for bedrooms. Alternative inner colours including lemon, result in a warmer light, and pale blue and mint creates lighting, best suited to task lighting. Because of this 'Gingko Paradise’ is one of our most versatile and customisable designs adaptable for 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.

Practical Details Available in multiple sizes and suitable for both pendant and table‑lamp fittings.
