Bespoke Lampshades

drum lampshades * made in Dunedin * retro fabrics * made to order * colourful * one of a kind * ditch the beige*

Now making shades and cushion from my home studio shed. I'll be ready to take orders in a couple of weeks. 

From next week you can buy my shades from The Woolston Emporium in Christchurch. My friend Kat and I are stocking shades and cushions in this wonderful vintage collective. 

Thank you to all those that supported me in my shop over the last two and a half years. This website is a work in progress as I pivot
to working from home, after closing the shop.

Bespoke Shades

“Elevate your space with our personalised lamp shades in Dunedin. Visit our local studio to create something unique for your home. Bring your own fabric, or choose from our vintage fabric range in store. Bring your lamp base to find the perfect size shade, or pick a pre-loved base from our eclectic selection of home decor.

I’ve brought two lamps with the coolest shades, there are so many to choose from! Lots of different colours & patterns, these are end of lines from top brands like William Morris! Made on site by the owner! This shop is a real wee gem, you can spend ages browsing, lots of retro items, colourful artwork, potted plants in cute pots, jewellery, mostly sourced second hand! The owner has a great eye & its great to see her recycle & repurpose by cleaning, polishing & adding something new to freshen it up! I’m so glad I discovered this wonder little gallery! Highly recommend you make a visit!
