Cottage Core Lighting: Smocked Lampshades from the UK
Since we presented our Trend Alert on The Draped Cloth Light, we’ve seen all manner of fixtures with nonchalant fabric shades. The Elsie Collection, as its known, is captured here in Edit58 founder Lisa Mehydene’s Cotswolds barn.
Described as “skirt shades,” the designs come with a hidden cardboard lampshade base that Edit58 describes as “the petticoat”: the smocking acts as a waistband holding the skirting in place.
The shades work on all sorts of lighting. Weave is one of three cotton fabrics in the collection, each with its own embroidered design.
The shades are designed in London and hand pleated and stitched by Fair Trade women’s workshops in Vietnam.
A Maxi Skirt Shade in Mink with smocking in a pattern called Rosebud Trellis; £165.
A Mini Skirt Shade in Mink; £115 on an Alfred Newell bedside-size Bobbin Lamp Base; £230.
A Weave Mini Skirt Shade; £115. Read more
