Artificial light is essential. From the bleakest prison cell to a seven star hotel suite designed to within an inch of its life every room has a source of light. In its raw form lighting does little but satisfy a function, it is the sculpture wrapped around it that explicates its presence, simply put it is the architecture of shade brings forth the magic.

Convention is the nemesis of design and innovation. This is no more apparent than in the restrictive, yet long-accepted structural methodology of orthodox cylinder drum shades, along with their French (tapered) counterparts meaning, that while interior design has evolved and evolved, shade architecture has remained staid and dormant for generation after generation.

That is until now. Following three years of continuous work on design concepts, developing bespoke components and styling Dominic Green have launched a myriad of new design possibilities and opportunities with the seamless application of any fabric available. Further, it has enabled the development of innovative shapes with a range of curved shades both on the horizontal and vertical planes.

Inside the shade, by patenting a unique hidden adjustable wire and magnet system, Dominic Green have also created the concept of the 'floating' diffuser. Using either carefully sourced medium weight unbleached natural cotton or a choice of five handmade Japanese Washi papers, the diffusers float inside the baseline of the shade to softly spread a wonderfully warm and subtle glow. The suspension wires are adjustable from the top centre area of the frame to allow height preference flexibility and to showcase shade interiors.

Every single one of our shades are bespoke made by hand in the UK using the highest quality materials sourced wherever possible in the UK. To date no single shade is ever the same. Our ring sets/frames are also bespoke handmade and coated to the highest standard available.

Whether you're searching for a stand-alone zany lighting profile for your hospitality establishment with a cluster of shades, or just want to add some bold elegance to a room in your home, we can furnish your interior with something that isn't available anywhere else. Globally.

Slender in form yet vast in versatility, our unique pot shades are by far the most protean form of lampshade that we make. They are a beautifully intimate addition to a bedside or other side table individually, whether as a pendant or on a stand. They can be choreographed into a centrepiece cluster of mixed variables or as a linear set over a bar or dining area. As this is a new range it is too early to be able to show more than the one of a huge number of variants and possibilities with these slender delights. More will be added in the coming days and weeks as we endeavour to build up the collection, so keep your eyes peeled and do please contact us if you have anything in mind that you would like us to create. If we don't have the fabric you want, we will source it. If you have your own, then just ask and we will re-price accordingly.
