Single-sided cylinder ‘In The Spotlight’ Ankara print fabric lampshade
‘In The Spotlight’ is a bespoke lampshade designed using my architectural understanding of illumination and how patterned textiles behave when light passes directly through them. Handmade using a bold, graphic fabric, Ziggy creates a vibrant, iridescent glow that adds instant character to any interior.
Fabric Story Possibly one of my most vibrant lampshades ‘In The Spotlight’ features an Ankara printed waxed cotton fabric, chosen for playful, circular motifs and inclusion of practically every primary, secondary colour plus numerous tertiary ones. The pattern is bold and not for the faint hearted, and because it sits on the exterior, it remains visually striking whether the lamp is on or off. When illuminated, the colours glow wonderfully.
Lighting Behaviour ‘In The Spotlight’ responds beautifully to warm bulbs, enhancing the richness of the outer colours and creating a cosy, inviting ambience ideal for living and dining rooms, over stairs and in bedrooms for those of us who absolutely love and embrace colour. Cooler bulbs sharpen the circle edges and intensify the contrast between the colours and the black & white background, giving the shade a crisp, contemporary feel that works well in home offices, or reading corners. Its balanced behaviour makes it suitable 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 form over time. As part of a limited run, every shade carries the individuality of the maker’s hand.
