Lighting · Custom shade

Green, brass & a little plaid.

A familiar lamp, a different expression. A custom plaid shade brings together the deep green base, warm metal, and a decorative finishing touch.

The starting point

A deep green finish, warm brass accents, and a slender silhouette. The bare base gives us the colors and proportions to work with.

From fabric to shade

The plaid brings the green and brass tones into a new rhythm. These workroom photographs follow the fabric selection and shade material as the piece takes shape.
